R3D's - The Power of a RED frame

[Chris McKechnie]

I'm currently DP'ing a feature production, and I wanted to share some R3D screen grabs with all the R3D information for you guys. I'm constantly amazed at the power of RED, what it has done for me, and how it aides me in becoming a better DP each and every day. More images to come! This is just from the first few days.

I'm controlling the MoVI remotely for the film...probably the best way to freefly!

I notice you are using redgamma4, do u not find it too contrasty? To each his own just curious....
Nice work.

This is AWESOME behind the scenes shooting, especially I like how I can look at the still shots of the RED settings and see the entire camera and lighting setup of that scene from the video.

These are grabs directly off the SmallHD 702 series monitor receiving signal from a Paralinx Triton (HDMI) system. So it's more crushed than the actual R3D's, but RG4 is what I always shoot on.

Thanks Patrick! Trying to get as much BTS when I can.

Nice Chris! I especially like the kitchen stuff. Those aren't the LEDs from the GB used for the lights under the cabinets in the kitchen are they?

Chris, this shit is great! Keep it coming. I'm sure I'll have a bunch of questions later.
Thanks for sharing.

Curious about the "Easy Rig" solution being used. I swear I've compiled a partial amazon wish list with at least the backpack being used.

Thanks man and ask away.

I wanted something similar to an easy rig and so I asked my engineer buddy to build something. I worked with him on the concept and that's the prototype there. We are making refinements to it now. I also have the Tilta Armorman, which I LOVE as well, so I have 2 support options. It's nice having options.
