  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

REDCODE RAW 42 - Framerates

Funny thing is this. Not many post houses are equiped to actually equiped to use the new color science and chances are that while the capture may be better the image pipeline is the same because no sdk has been released with redline.

Weird. Effed if you do. Effed if you don't.

4k just ain't what it used to be. Well lit is well lit. It's a creative choice. R1's still rock.

Seems like Pablo and Baselight can?

In the test I did, MX footage out of REDCINE X had more dynamic range than the old "M" sensor.

Fair enough but you can't tell me you'd stake your career on the sensor alone. Would you rather have a package truck and an R1 or a much smaller lighting package with an M-X.

The r1 is by no means dead and I think that in well lit graded finished scenes it would be hard to descern. I found the m-x a tad softer.

Either way. I know you'll light it well and do a great job. Whether it's m, mx or film or HD.

It is the sum of the parts.

I get asked that about lenses all the time. "Will it really look that different if we use Zeiss High speeds versus S4's?". It is all of that - the lighting, framing, lenses, format, etc.

But I hear what you are saying.

We digress...

Yeah. Gimmie the lights and you can make almost anything look great...all this in a world where there is still SD delivery! sheesh!

late nights, early call times.

peace...out...

But talk to the post facility first before assuming that. The current release version of Baselight does not support M-X. There is a build out there which does, but not everybody will be using that build though

Great point Nick. Not everyone is ready for "perpetual beta" software and it makes many people nervous.

WHen I told people I filmed a pretty big shoot on a test pilot build of build 30 they just about freaked. I got the Software the night before and decided to go with it. pretty freaky to some people build I had build 21 on a CF card at the ready.

The big focus is on RC-X but REdrushes, QT codec, REDLINE and many other important tools are NOT implemented as of yet.

I know RED works hard at this but there is always a lag time between a new build and it's implementation in post facilities.

The Apple Color update was a godsend.
