  • 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 :)

WIDE! Dragon 6K HD - Canon 10-22 @14mm - R3D File

I can't recall. I know it was about f3.8 at 1/48 and 800. Is the info in the R3D?

That sounds about right.

Did you get a chance to download the 4K .mov? Neat video is very cool with Dragon.
 
That is the one of the "things" with Dragon, once you're "within range" it really flies.
Thats actually a thought i have a lot of times when looking at MX-footage. ;) Dragon takes it to a new level, no doubt. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

Sure, I know that's not professional but this thing weighs 5 pounds and I'm walking around in the forest in the dark with no focus puller or anyone else for that matter and the Canon Mount and RED software is auto focusing 6K 24p in the dark!
That makes me curious, is autofocus working significantly better on Dragon? I know, this was just a ultrawide lens but still, this sounds interesting.
 
Thanks guys. If you don't mind a bit of noise from the underexposure, you can really push the image a lot.

love, love, love THIS!

Download the R3D G. This clip didn't even look "in range" to be honest as far as correct exposure is concerned, I'm sure you would agree.

But that was MX thinking.

What were the exposure settings?
 
Yup. The nice thing about that lens is the meta data collection. That's LDS technology basically?

I guess, that's the new level. ;) Even "out of range" footage can fly.

I'm seriously amazed with how much color info and detail is found in the extremely underexposed areas. It's seriously crazy. When I opened the clip I was like damn, this could have been a really cool shot. Then I kept pushing it and was blown away with what you could pull out. Lots and lots of detail. Very cool.
 
Give a real time assessment too. Of course exposure would save you time in post and using neatvideo.

How much time did they take to get this image to "fly?"

The grades probably took 2-3 minutes each. The longest part is exporting with Neat Video. The plug in takes a lot of power... So in reality the grades took no time and applying neat video is about a 1 minute process. So excluding the UHD .mov export, 5 minutes...
 
Can we get a video tutorial Mr. Ryan? :) I bet you a beer (soda in your case) you can't do it in 3 minutes.

NeatVideo should sponsor you for all the business you will bring them.

Haha I don't have screen cap software. I'll show you when you come to town and you can time it.

I wish they would, I want the OFX version for Resolve so I don't have to go back into Premiere!

I may be able to go and shoot that scene again. Any requests on time of day, focal length, aspect ratio, frame rate, shutter speed or etc?

I'd say maybe 4-4:30pm with the sun in the frame at the end of the pan. Something similar to this Dragon shot :

That way you go from the "darker" mountainside and pan directly into the sun (same as your last shot, just with the sun still up). I'd say expose for the sun similar to that example shot. It will give a good indication of how wide the DR is in an extreme situation like that. The wider focal length works because it gives a larger area to study in the frame and see all the detail. What may be fun is to shoot this with a +3/+4 HDRx setting so we can see the sun properly exposed as well as the forrest. No one has posted an HDRx shot yet.

If you just want to see how deep into the forrest you can see, then I'd say shoot around noon and expose to the right without clipping the sky and do a pan again (without the sun in the shot). Then we can see how deep into the dark areas we can go.
 
Michael, thank you very much for your shots. I did some Grading tests and I really impressed with Dragon 6K.
I add a couple of final images.
And Matt! Thank you for your awesome reference images.
