Quote from "Wanted"...

That is an excellent quote! I wonder how long it will take for the History Channel's "Man, Moment, Machine" to do a show on Jim Jannard. I made a new signature that I think is appropriate:

"Film is dead.... Long live RED!
 
Of course it's better then film, why wouldn't it be??? :)
 
I like the fact that there is something that wants to be called a competition to RED, just gives an example of how RED is supperior :)

Jim if you can bring us a quote like that every week we will be happy campers until every camera is delivered :)

"We're shooting RED side by side film. We scanned the film 4k and took both into the Baselight, compared them and then did a filmout of both. When we screened side by side, we literally could not tell the difference. In fact, most people picked the RED footage as film because of a greater dynamic range in the highlights than in the 5218. It's not enough to say it is the best digital image out there. The fact is, finally, we can intercut digital with film. It looked remarkably better than the filmed images. I thought I would never be able to say that"

and another excellent testimonial. every single dp/director/vfx supervisor using red so far made -spectacular- remarks. outstanding.
 
Well done Jim,

So the latest film stock to get these days is Mysterium 320!

Cheers,
 
Keeps getting better and better. Its good to know that there are notable 3rd parties out there putting the camera through its paces and confirming everyone's hopes for the good thing. Rodney Charters was right, revolution isnt a strong a word.
