  • 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 :)

Old school... new color science...

What's cool is that there is so much history within the past four years within a single company...and you're still makin' history. I wonder what's next?
 
And why am I still up, Jim?

Because I can't stop cutting the gorgeous footage my DP and the RED are kicking out. And to top it all off, I have to head over here to read before I can call it a night. Insanity.

Wouldn't want it any other way though. Excuse my language, but the system can now kiss my ass. Hahahaha.

RED army for life.

:)

I remember the milk girls, I remember I did not have the cash for a RED...and thinking...I am gonna save all the cash I can and get a RED....and now, such a short time later...EPIC....It is amazing shooting RAW and the evolution of REDCINE and all the color science is doing. Old footage just looks new, and fresh...
 
It's completely amazing how far RED has come in 4 years. Oscar(s) last year and no doubt nominations this year and The Hobbit with 30 EPIC's in Stereo. Even Kurzweil couldn't have predicted this fast a climb in the dev/release curve.

The key to it all is REDCODE. It's such a solid foundation to be able to build upon and ripple the changes beneficially even all the way back to breadbox pre-alpha footage that responds beautifully to the new maths.

astounding, seriously.

The beauty... of REDCode.

Like so many others, these clips in the early days convinced me that RED was the real deal.

1st is with the equivalent of REDlogFilm (adapted for Frankie footage) and the 2nd just has a quick curve added. 5 seconds of grading so don't read too much into it...

This REDlogFilm is awesome... it reminds me the epic fights that we had for this...

Βravo Jim, evolution flows in your veins...
 
It also feels like there is much more detail.

Like you are mining farther into the RAW data for the subtle detail in the image.

REDCODE is the gem.

It was my understanding that this was prior to REDCODE. Pure RAW.
 
ah, the milk girls, greatest camera sales pitch ever!

it is great to see old footy with new color science but what this shows mostly is how good a well-lit M sensor was...and is. but keep those enhancements coming!

thanks for digging this out.
 
Yes, it is what sold me on RED 50%, the second 50% was the man behind it.

I am still one of a dwindling few that still believe in people.

I was always curious where Jim got these European milk bottles and few other 30-s elements in the parking lot. Was it staged?
 
We had a few props laying around our warehouse... :-)

Still hot. :}

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I was (mostly) a lurker on DVXUser when I first clicked play to watch this. Seeing this footage was the first time I realized that digital wasn't going to remain just a "learning format" for eventually (or not...so prohibitively expensive) shooting 35mm film.

Thanks, Jim.

This is very old school. The Milk Girls were shot with Frankie (way before the 1st RED ONE). I dusted off the old file and hit it with new color science just to see what was up.

1st is with the equivalent of REDlogFilm (adapted for Frankie footage) and the 2nd just has a quick curve added. 5 seconds of grading so don't read too much into it...

Just look at those skin tones. Gorgeous. And the reds and the blues and the greens and the .....whole color spectrum. It's finally dawning on me just how revolutionary RAW truly is. As you guys improve everything improves. Obsolescence obsolete. Yep. Prophetic in more ways than I bet you guys at RED even realized. I had an inkling before, but now...now I'm convinced. Bravo!

It was REDCODE, according to the man himself:

People here think that the Milk Girls footage was uncompressed. It was REDCODE. There were many things along the way that changed in a RED ONE that caused image issues, but REDCODE was not one of them. REDCODE had to change to compensate for other things in the chain.

I put some footage thru RedLogFilm the other day and was very impressed.

I can't help but wonder how things would have been different if Red had delivered this color out of the gate.

I know, I know - It's very complicated and has taken years to develop the methodologies to tune the sensor and couldn't really have happened sooner than it did - but maybe the haters would have been less of a pain.

I'm still waitin' for Milk Girls 2 in 5k HDRx!
 
Think about how things would have been different if RED had developed a camera that didn't record RAW, and going from REDSpace to REDColor and REDGamma meant buying an all new camera. Then going to REDColor2, REDGamma2, and REDLogFilm meant buying an all new camera all over again.
