  • 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 :)

The first RED Weapon 8K has Landed!

Congrats Buddy.
So stoked for you.
Can't wait for your knowledge on this Beast.

Hope to do this jump someday soon...


Happy Shooting my friend.

Cheers from Brazil
 
Wonderful news Phil and congrats.

Will be nice to read about your tests and adventures!

Thanks for sharing your quick first impressions Phil.

Glad someone who's so into images and sharing info got one of the early 8K's.

Looking forward to reading/seeing any objective test results and purely subjectively good-looking or interesting images/footage you might come up with.
 
Phil,

Those career choices paid off. Here you now. A MAN AND HIS CAMERA, 8K to be more specific. Big props, enjoy.
 
Congrats here too! It's just damn right to know the first one was sent to you. :) Wish you lots of fun.

Can't wait to learn about your projects and read more about your thoughts, see picture and footage.

I've just done a round of fairly extensive image quality tests over the last couple days. Motion finishing in 8K, 4K, and 2K. Did some stress testing via upscaling as well at 5:1 through 12:1 REDCODE RAW (based on minimum compression at max FPS at 8K FF) with all of the OLPFs.

The short story. I'm very happy. Without question this is the best sensor RED has made. I've never seen anything like this actually.



Do note that's the Skin Tone - Highlight OLPF and no, no DEB was used.

That's a single 2K 100% crop. There's 16 2K 100% crops available in a full 8K frame. Sixteen.

Scaled down to a 4K finish looks predictably wonderful. I'll attempt to pull a couple favors to get to see some native 8K in 8K action before the end of the month if I have time. Gonna shoot a small thing, do a quick 2 hour workshop in LA, and then vanish for a hot minute.

WOW - awesome!!! Those crops look sick!!!
 
Amazing quality for 2000asa with the STH OLPF. I wonder if you could start pushing to 4000asa with the LLO OLPF? I have s show coming up that I would love to shoot with the 8k sensor. Who do I need to sleep with?:rolleyes:
