hey all!
this is actually my first thread. to date i haven't shot too much with the R3D cameras
but i've been familiar with the RAW workflow for over a year now. first off, thanks to
the incredible community here at Reduser.com, i was able to shoot with another
member who just received his Scarlet. and honestly, it was one of the best
experiences i've ever had shooting. one, because i was shooting motion
picture on a 5K camera, and two, it was just a couple guys, running around
Griffith Park trying to get a few good shots. nothing serious, just having fun
with a brand new camera.
but not only was this an opportunity to shoot using a awesome camera, but
i wanted to be the first to test out the Scarlet with the Dynamic Perception
system. for those who are unaware, it is a 3 Axis motion control system which i
use to take 5K stills using my 5Dmk2. but, because of the Scarlets ridiculously
small form factor, i was able to mount the camera right on the Merlin pan/tilt
head and get going. of course i had a few limitations, since exposure is non-
functioning and i wasn't aware that if you held in the fps button it gives you
longer intervals. so i shot at 8fps and dragged the shutter for as long as
possible to give a usable exposure since i was shooting in an extremely
low-light scenario.
as far as impressions, i plan to write an article on my website, but in the
mean time all i'll say is. at least for me, using a Canon 5D and a R3D Scarlet
is perhaps the perfect combination. i use my 5D to shoot all my 5K stills,
creating time-lapse sequences, then use the Scarlet to shoot all other
frame-rates. since the language of cinema can not be told in one frame-rate.
it's important to understand what looks better in time-lapse as well as slow
motion and real-time. so instead of me asking myself wether i can even
get a particular shot, it becomes of matter of choosing the right tool for
the job.
in closing i wanted to introduce myself. my name is Richard Gluck and i am
a motion control timelapse photographer based in Los Angeles. to date, i
have received a lot of notice through the best time-lapse forum on the
web timescapes.org and now i wanted to offer my services in whatever
way possible on reduser.net. my journey throughout my career so far
has been coming into contact with other great individuals and i seek to
broaden my experiences in whatever way possible. please, if i can be of
use to anyone here don't hesitate to ask. i am always glad to help others,
and will try to keep my motion control experiences with the Scarlet up
to date as much as possible on this great community/forum for camera
artist/tradesmen. thanks and happy shooting.
