About time!

At the dawn of photography there were tons of beautiful nudes etc. At the dawn of digital cinema, the subject matter is a lot more geeky... sad!

Personally I think 35mm DOF will make for beautiful naked people and all the people saying 4K is not a good medium will be proved dead wrong. If it means makeup, camerawork and lighting needs to be taken to a higher level, great.

If the porn industry buys a ton of Reds, awesome! That's more R&D money for the company to push cinema further. More camera bodies available, etc, etc.

Porn and indie cinema are often allied. Look at Japan in the 70's... that was my girlfriend's thesis anyway ;)

And Joone, I agree, best first post ever!

Your friggin' avatar made me lol for real. Hahaha. Especially in conjunction with the nature of this thread. Porn and rabid dogs go hand in hand.

What I've been saying all along... fully debayered Redcode which is then scaled down, compresses better than anything else except maybe computer graphics.

In other words, RED is the ultimate camera for web and DVD distribution.

That's really interesting. Are you saying RED footage would compress to h.264 to a smaller size with better looking results than other cameras? Is there a way to test and prove this idea?

Several San Francisco porn producers are already using RED in their productions. They cannot provide the full 4K at this time and even the full 2K is problematic because they cannot get Blue Ray disc duplication companies to produce Blue Ray discs for them and there is little demand for expensive Blue ray porn at this time. Also, online consumers do not want slow 4K or even 2K downloads. But the RED camera is in use. Porn producers will be the largest customers of RED because they produce over 150,000 porn movies every year and they can easily afford RED.

Steven Spielberg is using RED even though he could use any camera including film, Dalsa, F35 and D20. Then again, he has a reputation for stealing plots and ideas from other artists and producers. His first blockbustger ET was a script stolen from famous Indian director Satyajit Ray. One of the latest publicised theft was "Small Soldiers" from Gregory Grant. Now he may be trying to duplicate Soderberg's success with Che by using RED. Spielberg will be the best publicity yet for RED. Now RED is everywhere including big hollywood studios. Congrats Jim.

I believe Spielberg's first blockbuster was Jaws.
 
Click on the link to read the full press release. personally the more producers using red cameras the better. only thing better than this is if bollywood switched to RED Digital completely given the level of output they have
 
Bruce is right. they'll adapt. in fact their needs are so much more extreme that whatever techniques they come up with for making their actors "ahem" look better will probably end up helping productions in the clean world :) LOL

cleaner the source the easier it is to compress. Grain and noise make it harder to keep the file sizes small and the quality high.
 
So...what's all this about Spielberg and Red ?

yes, it's amazing with encoding and down-converting and definitely better than any other hd camera they are using. if used properly.

Randomness is the enemy of compression. Less noise = better compression.

Shoot something on a camera with two different gain settings, see which one compresses better with the same compressor setting. I await your results.:shifty:
