[Timothy Carr]

Hey guys, Just thought id post a video that I made for someone that wanted to know what the low light capabilities of the scarlet are.

Not sure witch is best (UT or Vimeo), but the web compression seems to darken the image dramatically.

Enjoy!

Oh, using all available light with the exception of a white reflector for fill.

Awesome. I just picked up a rokinon 35mm myself but haven't put it to test yet. Amazing how much light it picks up from just the flickering of the match. Did you crush the blacks in RCX? Curious to see how a R3D still, or just a high quality JPG looks like since you say the compression darkened it dramatically.

Thanks! Yep, great lens.
Way ahead of you, check the description of the Vimeo or YouTube link there should be a link to a R3D frame.
Oh, yeah i added a little contrast and de-saturation, but not much. Not like what YouTube is showing anyway.
