  • 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 :)

Just messing about on Friday w the Scarlet, while waiting on a battery plate
static shots b/c i was operating the camera as well as "acting" :wink5:
4K@30fps, except the CU of the needle which is 3K@48. All 400ISO.
Image pretty clean, but I did run it through Neat Video and regrain in NUKE although vimeo it's hard to see the regrain anyway :)
extra smoke added in NUKE

Really liking the operation of the camera w the touch LCD, but can't wait for the handle to have extra custom buttons

Nice example thanks for posting. Great to see some detailed close-up shots. Freaked me out a bit too, but in a good way!

What light did you use?
 
Joe, I loved every second. You've done a very good job.

1. What lens did you use ?
2. Could you please tell us more about the lighting ? Did you only use one single light ?

Man, this is fine cinematography !
 
Thanks guys

for light i just had a dimmed 300 on a stand and a reflector on the other side
Lenses on my canon mount were a 30mm sigma 1.4, and a 50mm Zeiss(Contax)1.4

I'm pleased with how good an image I can get with my cheap slr glass, hope to own the Zeiss cp2 set in the next year w a few jobs under the belt.
 
Last question : where did the smoke come from ? :-)

Was it just a cigarette ?
 
:-)

Thank you so much for sharing with the community, Joe. Greatly appreciated !
 
Hi Joe, great work all round. Loved that. Great images, but accompanied by strong cinematic storytelling.
Soundscape was terrific too. Where's that from if you don't mind me asking?

Really look forward to seeing your work over the coming years with your Scarlet.

I have a contax set. Were the CU's on yourself the Contax 50?

Jim, loved your RED one test too!

Best

very Nice Joe, I am very keen to see the result with Canon L series Lens.
 
I asked this in another thread, but what are you doing in Redcine-X to not have noise? On my Scarlet at ISO 800 (or lower) with standard room lighting I'm getting a noisy image. I'm sure it's something I'm doing or not doing! Thanks.

Well there is noise, but i do say it is pretty filmic grain. I shot @ 400ISO and then brought the blacks down in RedCine (RedLogFilm gamma) which got rid of a lot of noise (i wanted it to be very dark)
I also ran it through Neat Video denoiser in Premiere. I find that plugin just fantastic, used the demo for like 30minutes and went and purchased it. I think it is better than the NUKE denoiser - at least as far as getting very natural looking results super quickly. Then re-grained it slightly.
Plus, the vimeo compression and bringing it down to 1080p from the 4K timeline obviously hides a lot of the noise that would be there

If i have time i'll try to post a before and after image
