RED EPIC SHOT - PIXEL/SENSOR ISSUE

[Sebastian S]

Hello guys,

Im from Uruguay, I work in a Cinema Rental house called Musitelli. (Camera workflow)

I´ve just receive a Still from a friend who was shooting a Documentary in Mexico, we had realized at the Postproduction area a kind of sensor/dsp (?) issue in the picture, it looks like that these pixels are just one static RGB value. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/90626612/Plano para prueba.zip *metadata inside zip Could it be a DSP problem? dust on Lens or Sensor? any comment would be aprreciated.

Shot EPIC – X
VIDEO_FORMAT 1080
FPS 24
FILM_FORMAT 35mm
Zoom Angenieux Optimo 15-40mm
With Filter ND1.5

Thanks.

Looks like wacky black shading to me. Usually you see that kind of thing if you run 1fps without shading for it. Maybe the camera was black shaded for long exposure and not set back to normal afterwards?

If the pixels are absolutely static then it should be possible to improve the image in post if there's no reshoot alternative.

I would agree with the long exposure issue. Because they are colored and single pixel values I do not believe it could be a piece of dust in/on lens or sensor. Perhaps running it through something like neat video (http://www.neatvideo.com/) might be able to help clean it up...
