  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

New Reel... helmet on.

the RED TEAM in red under his name and his name being in RED probably may offer some sort of Clue that he is from RED :)

Exactly and, if that's not enough, he will change his real name to match that on Reduser. :smilewinkgrin:

Now, what is the story about the 400 reel? Can we see it?
 
I've tried half a dozen times to watch this....waited for over an hour each time, is there an option for us blokes living in the middle of nowhere to have a look...my download limit out here next to the black stump is pathetic.....HELP!!

So where the bloody hell are you, mate? :rofl: You probably have better views all around you anyway.
 
On me farm 300ks nth of perth, yeah i have heaps of stuff to film/photo out here but need to keep up to date with the rest of you city folk :)
 
Really gorgeous. As others have said, I'm absolutely blown away by the camel shot. One of the most gorgeous things I've seen for a very, very long time.

Like others, I was intrigued as to how it was shot. I figured any sort of helicopter would probably be out of the question because it would kick up too much sand. But a blimp is inspired. Genius! Absolutely stunning. A perfect combination of graceful yet interesting camera moves, gorgeous location, just the right amount of flare and perfectly simple sound design. I wonder if there are any behind-the-scenes pics for that shot?

Kyle,

My thoughts exactly.

The first stuff was well shot--amazing action, but it all had that greasy, plastic, blue-green, over-sharpened video-game look that everyone seems to be going for these days. I like Green Day, but a little too much of that, too. But the last sequence, wow, I was really impressed. Just beautiful. I think it really shows the range of the camera's capability.

I believe a good amount of the footage in the reel just happens to be from "Gamer", a movie about live action being controlled via a video game, so that look for those shots is rather apropos.

I just want to know one thing..

The last shot of the camel in the desert, Was that shot using a small remote helicopter cam?, a ballon cam?, a long line hung space cam?, a 1000 foot crane on a dolly??????
I NEEDS TO NO.... Please.

It's such a fantastic tracking shot.
 
It seemed a bit long. Aren't there 7,000 of these cameras out there? Looked like the work of less than a dozen DPs.
Pretty stuff, guess I just expected a huge variety of pretty stuff when I saw the length of the dragbar at the bottom of the screen. How many times do we need to cut back to GreenDay to remember it's still them?

I found this particular shot truly amazing:

Who shot this? Who was the DP? Which film?

The other shot from the same movie after this (the tilt down) is also great.

Hi Caesare,

I've seen the promos (and dozens of billboards in Los Angeles) so I'm aware of this film. I agree, the look is perfect for this one. But so many of the images I've seen made by RED and other electronic cameras look like CAD drawings that I was starting to get worried that's all these cameras are capable of producing. (I mean, the Knowing trailer looks like a Maya rendering. No, wait, Maya renderings have better skin tones, LOL.) Turns out, as evidenced by the camel shot at the end of the reel, that that's not the case.

I have seen the same thing in the stills world since the digital takeover, people tend to go overboard with the sliders in the RAW processing IMO. Not my taste, but it's good to know you can get so many looks from one camera.

BTW there is one guy in particular who posts here, MaGregor, who seems to be able to get a really beautiful image out of RED One. At some point I'll actually get around to using a RED and seeing for myself.

Thanks for all the good thoughts - one unintended upside is I now have more time to read the forums and occasionally respond :-) (I'll do my best to not sound like a total idiot on here - I'm much more comfortable speaking than typing)

And I love the camel shot as well... if you think it looks good on your computer screen with the H.264 compression, or in 2k at IBC you should see it in 4k! Perhaps the next time we screen it large venue we will be able to screen it in 4k instead of 2k... It it absolutely stunning to see it in all it's glory!

Hi Ted,
just like the one we had at Reducation. In 4k Red stuff is amazing.

Yeah, that was pretty bad...

And a close-up with deep focus. Very weird shot IMO.
