There isn't a "best route" to becoming a Cinematographer IMO. I personally started out as a Camera Op. and fell into Cinematography from there. As a Cinematographer, you need to know how to compose shot's well, and light like the devil, or jesus depending on the project. You should also understand how the lighting and composition used will effect the story and which combination will tell that story best.

How'd it go?

To me this footage looks like..........Victory.

The reason I didn't mention the Dalsa or Phantom is because they are not widely accepted in the feature film world. They are much too large and cumbersome in regards to their recording media. The Genesis has been used quite a bit from Rodriguez's Grindhouse to Semler's Apocalypto. The D-20 has gotten a shot of life with the new tape deck so it may become a contender just yet.

David, thank you for the clarification. I value your opinion very much so let me ask you a question, do you see the Red One being comparable to the Genesis and D-20 in terms of visual quality? I know it may be a bit pre-mature to make this assesment based off of one short. Yet, the short did put the camera through many shooting situations and it suceeded in producing a beautiful and dynamic image.

David, I'm wondering what you mean by mid-range pro video camera? If Red is mid-range, what would you consider to be high end pro video? I honestly see Red as not only competition to the top grade digital cinema cameras but a giant killer at that. -------------------------- Alexander Nikishin Cinematographer Vision Cinema Inc.

There will always be pessimists.

You mean the "RED EYE" focus assist right Graeme. =)

You've got to be joking....Due to a prototype of the rail system you're going to hold off on RED? First off it is only a prototype. Second, they've developed a 5k super camera in 8 months, what makes you think they can't develop a solution to a rail sysytem design flaw before RED's release? Lastly, with that level of trust in the genius team behind RED, I'll see you on the sidelines my friend.

To answer some of your questions to the best of my knowledge, yes, RED will allow for a PL mount lens. That has been stated many times on many different forums. The recording units will range from external drives to RED flash arrays amongst other possibilities. Pricing has yet to be stated for these device but has been hinted at being in the $1,000 range. The $17,500 is the price for the RED-ONE camera body alone. The 300mm RED lens is sold seperately at the cost of $4,995 and can be seen here... http://www.red.com/product/lenses/300mm-2....41da01b28f8f11e All of this information can be found on the RED.com website. Also Richard, for someone who spends soo much time being a RED antagonist, you could spend a little more time visiting some websites to find out the details on RED. There are detailed and continuing talks about RED going on at DVXUSER.com in the RED dedicated forum... http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/forumdisplay.php?f=58

Film stock slowly degrades with time. Digital content remains pristine. The argument of digital archiving being "un-safe" is ridiculous. All that needs to be done to maintain a "safe" copy of their digital content is to continuosly cycle copies of their content onto new drives every 6 months to a year. Problem solved.
