The Power of shooting RAW with Red

by North Coast Videographer, posted in Epic, Red, Red One, Scarlet, Uncategorized

Here is a video from a Red camera user Mark Toia.

Mark said “We did a shot yesterday that everyone on set said couldn’t be saved. A super hi contrast shot with a 8 stop difference between ends.
The monitor image looked terrible, the quicktime proxies looked just as bad, But all of my previous testing has proven that the shot was not a concern and no lights were needed to fill the scene to lesson the contrast. I was hoping for a cloudy day.

Worried clients, concerned crew… all non believers all said I was mad, that I should light and flood the whole scene with soft light to lesson the contrast…. blah blah blah..
So it was time to convert them to the real world of RED RAW.
Here is the result.

This is a great example of how grade-able the Red’s R3D files are.

Red releases the Epic camera

Red has released its Epic camera. This camera has higher resolution then any other camera out there today. It also offers higher record rates @ 5k.

I have ordered the Epic and am hoping for delivery soon !

The Epic camera is currently being used to shoot many big budget films. If fact James Cameron just bought 50 Epic cameras.

At last count there were well over 480 Epic (M) cameras released.
