I sat in most of the footage presentations that last two days. At the end of the presentation, which ended with footage from Soderbergh's "Guerrilla", there seemed to be an eerie silence. I would usually say something like "either you are unimpressed or stunned". In every instance, I heard a quiet "stunned".

I wish I was there this year. Dangit!

Bigger screen than Crossing the Line? I remember the stunned looks then.
 
Congrats Jim, that is the best reward to all your hard, tireless work. How far is your projector from the screen, meaning, how big across is the image you are showing people?
 
Well I was there.
I was speechless.
For a couple of hours...

You guys did it!

My deepest respect.
I look forward for more wonderful filmmaker tools.
 
The footage looked as if it were the very first screening of lab fresh prints struck from original 35mm camera material, if not better.

Seriously. I'm no expert, but I was VERY impressed, despite being the picky son of a bitch some people know me to be.

This camera does deliver the goods.
 
I've been waiting a year for my camera. This is the first time I've seen RED footage projected. He'll yeah I was stunned. It was like a "whoa, this is really happening" combined with a "hell yeah!" combined with a "I'm glad I had enough sense to jump in the pool last year... twice." This looks beatiful. I also had a chance to see OffHollywoods presentation so I could get more 4k crack.

Can't Get It Out of My Mind

I was there and I can't stop talking about it. To everyone, everywhere I go! The look of the 2K anamorphic for "The Argentine" was absolutely insane. It had a great period piece feeling, less crisp than the 4K for "Guerilla" but in a good way.
 
Ok breathtaking is an understatement...yes you could say most people sitting to the left and right of me were speechless.

I was very floored to see the Soderberg footage of both the Argentine and from the Guerrilla but the real jaw dropper for me this year was seeing the REDUSER footage so please let me take this moment to say THANKS to all of you out there for contributing such memorable footage this year.

This was certainly the icing on the cake! Thank you. I will reflect more later when I get back to my hotel and gather my thoughts.

Jim, it was a pleasure to meet you and team... enjoy those Monte Cristos and get them in a humidor! They are a gift from my wife's home country, delivered straight from Havana Cuba...enjoy them.

I will post all my NAB thoughts on my blog soon so look out, its the least I can do for you guys and gals who could not make it.

...well i was blown away enough seeing 2k downres of crossing the line at SMPTE here in oz last year... and since then blown away every time with what we were able to squeeze out of red once we began shooting with it.

can only imagine being there...
 
Was it just me or was it the actual content that was equally as thrilling as seeing how good the footage looked?

Maybe I'm just less of techy guy than some, but after about 10 seconds of seeing the characters walking slowly down the river with the viewers knowing their fate and them not...that was an incredible clip. It's amazing the power a good script and director can haver over the audience, even though it was only 2 minutes long and we didn't know what was going on, nor any of the characters. That was amazing.

Oh...it looked great, too. :shifty:

Saw the presentation twice... The Argentine footage was spectacular, with Guerrilla there was something about the motion blurring that kinda bothered me... maybe it was TOO sharp almost... film-out might've dulled it down some. Also, how were the clipping issues resolved with the muzzle-flashes and explosions... was it CGI or camera captured? I didn't get a chance to ask anyone.
