  • 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 :)

Simply Amazing

On the first post I removed alot of the blemishes That is why it is so huge and you don't see the major blemishes. No bluring just healing brush over a few major areas.
 
I'm glad I'm not alone when I thought this is the best pic from the production units so far. But remember we just know that was shot on 320 ASA and probably... on cine glass.
 
Here's mine, man this camera is good, it's almost like she's wearing Oakleys for real :w00t: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r:
 
I don't know to my eyes the fx guys got the perfect slightly underexposed filmic feel to it....they nailed it. For guys who are looking at the red as a filmic camera you have crushed the hell out of all that wonderful latitude the camera delivers.....Choices choices...i gasped when I saw the beautiful roll off the fx guys got but its all about personal aesthetics and I say go for it. I'd say go easy and leave the sharpening alone!
 
OK, I took a quick pass at this one.

aand so on...
 
As the DOP on these - effectively - I just wanted to say how much I am enjoying your grading. We will be taking the 4K files to the most respected daVinci colourists here, and having them grade the shots at full res. Of course, I wanted to grade them before we posted them but we figured that would defeat some of the benefit of positing them, and we did not want to wait.

Just so you know - in concert with RED HQ - we have dramatically improved these shots - by improving the file conversion RED Alert stage. It is a natural part of the process to learn how to better work the software and experiment with the settings. As we have learned - so the images have improved (not that they were that bad to start with). We film again tomorrow, this time under lights.

Again so great to see the creative enthusiasm and cool grades (not sure about negative saturation - but hey ;-)
