  • 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 :)

Social Network...

I have a lot of faith in both Fincher and Sorkin but I just can't get excited about a movie about what a tool Mark Zuckerberg is. I won't even comment on the cast :001_rolleyes:

But back on topic, grats Jim, that's a great quote! Looks like you guys have nailed it!
 
I'm still very surprised that Robert Rodriguez has stayed so silent on Red, why isnt he in this? It seems straight up his alley. Hopefully he's on the Epic train soon enough

Robert has a very tight relationship with Sony, just like Fincher has a very tight relationship with the Viper guys. The fact that Fincher has not chosen his viper to shoot this movie is very significant in a number of different ways. I imagine he tested the new MX sensor and was so blown away that the choice was obvious, but that is just my guess.

I am sure Robert is right around the corner :hurray:
 
I just got permission to say that Social Network, directed by David Fincher, is officially being Shot on RED. They have prototype RED ONE cameras with Mysterium-X sensors. The cinematographer just sent me a quote to post...

Jim

"To say that RED and the new Mysterium-X Sensor is impressive is tantamount to saying that Napalm is a little itchy. The sensor’s increased resolution is an obvious bonus but the expanded latitude especially at the high end and the dynamic color range makes this camera a tremendous asset to any cinematographer’s arsenal. The Mysterium-X’s amazing ability to handle both mixed color temperatures and low light situations affords us exciting opportunities to push the boundaries of our craft."

Jeff Cronenweth, A.S.C.

"I Love the smell of Napalm in the morning... smells like... :emote_head_explode: VICTORY!"
 
Jim or anyone in the 4k Projector Realm,

With all the 4k shooting, 4.5 shooting and beyond. What would be a good or the best 4k Projector I can hook into the Red Rocket? (and a 4k Projector that is not going to weigh in at 245 lbs.).

People who know me , know I like my toys. And having a 4k Projector would just be cool to have like a couple Red Cameras.

Sony is blowing out their 4k Projectors.. You can find the low lumens ones for under $30k now.

There are a couple more projectors just coming down the pike, The Christie 4k is supposed to be incredible ( but isn't on the market just yet as far as I know )
 
Absolutely... there have already been many things that we have changed based on the testing and feedback from Fincher, Cronenweth and Meizler.

Those guys have digital figured out from all the articles I've read regarding their workflow. Very good guys to listen to. THANKS!!

Also - consider buying Cronenweth a super deluxe strip-o-gram. He probably just made you a million. Or 10. Certainly cements me wanting EPIC-X. (And for me every dollar actually matters so it's not like a small decision)
 
It has got M-X sensor before EPIC-X, it's an acquisition digital cinema system that has both image and audio in one compact body,

can be a studio and handheld camera changed in a second very easy, can shoot 4.5K and 2.33:1 wide screen, etc,...

don't need to add more because here we all know that...

Now has got a job to shoot entire feature directed by David Fincher.

What else at the moment?

Isn't it already a legendary system?


I love your enthusiasm Sanjin. Wow!

It just makes me laugh sometimes.

David
 
Exciting! The RED Resume continues to grow!
 
Sanjin's blown his trade-up to Epic option by installing a non-approved lens mount.

I heard he earns back the right to upgrade if he hits 6000 posts on reduser!!!!

LOL :)
:cuss::beatdeadhorse5::violent5::violent5::rofl::hurray::emote_22_yikes::bored::001_huh::smash::lol::confused5::thumbsup::out::frown2:
 
Another feather in the cap for Red.
I am very excited about our upgrade !!!
Best Regards,

I seem to remember having read somewhere that he bought two or three F900s 2-3 years ago. I'm pretty sure (for now) he's a Sony guy... but who knows.
 
To say that I desperately want the new Mysterium-X Sensor is tantamount to saying that a Nuclear Bomb is a little itchy.
