Max Lev

I've been following this RED project along and want to add my impression on the screen grabs. Does anyone else think that the screen captures, perticularly the 2nd set look more like Maya or 3DS Max renders than film? I think someone brought up this point at reduser and wonder what luck they will have at getting a response there. I also wonder if this is the "default" look of the sensor or will it be able to capture a different aesthetic.

Oh yes, that makes sense. A 35mm motion picture frame is about 2/3 the size of a 35 mm still photography frame.

Oh Thanks, So it seems to me I would need a wider lens to produce a "normal" angle of acceptance. But I think I'll just simplify my question further just to clarify: What lens angle would I have to use on RED camera shooting at full resolution super 35 4k to produce an angle of acceptance on the sensor which looks "normal" and least distorted to the eye (not wide-distorted or telephoto flattened)? vs. if I want to produce the same "normal" looking angle of acceptance at standard 3 perf Red 35 or even Red 2k? And 28 degrees viewing angle seems a bit telephoto to me, or am I wrong?

Quick questions: 1. When using RED's 4k mode a 50mm spherical 35mm cine-lens lens is a 50mm angle lens, right? Does that vary when shooting normal 35 4k vs super 35 4k. and... 2. Could someone explain to me how RED (or so I've herd) maintains the proper angle on a given lens even when shooting 2k. Lets say I can use the same 50mm lens to shoot at a normal angle in 2k mode. Or am I misunderstanding and this 50mm lens become effectively a 100mm telephoto lens? Thanks.
