Steven Sebring " Emily " Shot on Epic-M Monochrome

[Mikael Lubtchansky]

I would be very grateful to whoever could let us, redusers, have a 1 frame monochrome R3D file to experiment and see pure 5K Mysterium X 2000 iso pixels with our own eyes... Rawer raw

This is really just unbelievable news. Thanks entire RED team. Kudos and congratulations for this incredible achievement and for a job well done. Just terrific. Life is best shot on RED, which is an extension of not just your soul or even just mine, but for all the souls everywhere. Great work, Jim. Thanks everyone. I just want to say how amazing this is.

Beautiful! One of the rare shootings the model looks not cheap. What a camera, what a talent. In front and behind the camera.

 

[Zach Wilson]

Does anyone know if a 2k version of this was ever posted?

 

[Russ Fill]

That was amazing... Now all I have to do is get my clients to believe they need it shot in b&w..
Great job.
Want to try one out on a few things I have been waiting to do in b&W.

 

[Alonzo Von Threet]

As much as I love women in girdles and nylons, it seems peculiar that I would feel so compelled to compliment the fidelity of the footage, but that looks incredible. Kudos to you and RED for monochrome Epic-M.

Oh and stunning talent

PS... as black and white cameras go. You have nailed it, stunning image.

Alas, I cannot say the same. It was well shot, don't get me wrong, but it wasn't 'special'. However, my underpowered computer cannot display HD video very well. Perhaps I needed to see it in 720?

Edit: Did I say how absolutely amazing that woman is? Oh, boy...

The face shots that were properly exposed looked amazing. I wasn't a fan of the rest, too washed out for my taste.

I agree with that. Too high-key and over-exposed. The contrast was not hard enough. Actually even the R1 handles blown highlights nicely, unlike a lot of still cameras.

I do love b&w and I am considering a Leica M Monochrom... However, I'm told that even the b&w JPEGs from the M9 are very good. But the MM does very well at 10,000 ISO. There's a beautiful, fine granularity. I'd love to compare the RED with the Leica.

I really like the way it looks but why is that girl wearing her grandma's underwear?

 

[Jeffrey T. Morgan]

She got her grandmas clothes from that thrift shop down the road.
