Last week I was fortunate to be able to listen in on a group of guys, two were well known Reduser contributors, shoot the s. about Red, ARRI and other contemporary film making issues. A thought that came up was that most Red owners are too caught up on 4.5K+, not realizing that so many shoots need to be reduced to 1080 p that Red with 2-3K output is just fine for most folks. Thoughts?
(What do you lose, if anything, shooting 2K with an MX upgrade?)
Another thread in the conversation was that producers and DP's are beginning to push back on 3-D; that the added costs could go into production values and talent. With some producer blood in me, I like the idea of 3-D, but primarily from an anti-theft of copyright POV, not artistic. What do you people hear?
There were a lot of interesting comments, but one that would be of general interest to Reduser readers is that there has to be a shakeout coming in the zoom market (if not all lens makers--Matt excluded or course). Prices have to come down, weight needs to come down and/or any number of variables. At Cinegear Angenieux told me that they had some new products coming out soon. I hope you folks can add to this potentially important discussion.
