red studio shoot

[Kjetil Haugen]

Really really nice!! Any additional sharpness involved? What was the sharpen/detail settings rendered out of redcine? Like Anders requested, I too would very much appreciate some pre-grades so see what you started with.

light is not too strong. Everything is well within the dynamic range of the camera before timing. When adding this much contrast, and limiting the dyamic range with the time, you have to to time each shot individually.

No doubt, you're absolutely right, and I'll say it again, this looks the most filmic of everything I've seen posted here. But I was only pointing out a couple of places where the light hits certain parts of the subject a bit too strong, such as here:

, here:

and here:

But as I said, this might not be so evident as part of continous motion clip, instead of a frame. I was not criticizing, simply pointing out that those couple of spots took a bit too much of my attention from the rest of what are very well composed and lit shots.

Hat off to you guys,

The time of the shots is exactly how we want them to look. the advantage with RED is that, if shot correctly it has a much WIDER range from dark to light that it can record when you compare it with other video cameras on the market today.

#6 is beautiful. Great control of focus and light. A soft, natural image that is very interesting to look at. That's a shot of which you should be proud. The rest kind of look "HD" to me.

Yeah, love that #6. Nice work, man.

#6.

Well, if you like the soft film look ANY compositor can achieve that in about 1.1 minutes. It's incredibly easy to ADD softness, blooming, high midtones, color offsetting, irradiance falloff, etc etc etc. But you can never get back a crisp clean image if you START that way.
Here is a 20 second test I did to "soften" the image, would have been better if I had started from the raw file instead of the jpg web image...

It isn't just the softness of the image that makes it superior, but the control of the light on the face. The other shots aren't really flattering to the subjects, even in the "softened" versions, which are losing a lot of detail. #6, on the other hand, looks the most natural, despite the fact that it is a highly stylized shot.

You don't have to sacrifice detail for a soft image. Film doesn't.

the point of the red camera is To capture all the information letting
One make creative choices after the fact about how you want your images to look.


I enjoy number 4. I like the framing with forground depth.

I shoot like that as much as I can depending on the location / scene mood
