You should check out this post http://www.cinematography.com/forum2004/in...c=25686&hl= It explains red appears soft because it's the last layer of a film sotck : light is diffused by the blue and green layers before exposing the red one.

Very nice work, I just really enjoy shots when a dp is not afraid to let the faces fall of in semi darkness with a hot backlight or rimlight. I think you made a intelligent use of the sepia filter. I was just a little less impressed by the camera operating... Could you share more technical specs about your short and maybe post some setups ? thx

Hi all, I'd like your advice on oscilloscopes and vectorscopes : do you guys rely on renting or would it be wise to buy this equipement (2nd hand) ? I'm a student so when I get the chance to Dp it's mostly on indie projects that's why I thought having my own gear could be useful (like gaffers with their own lighting packages). Thanks.

Here's a very interesting article from AC on Gilbert Taylor's career, you'll find precious info on "the fab four flick". http://www.theasc.com/magazine/feb06/taylor/index.html

Hi all, I think this is the only sunset sequence of Seraphim Falls. [see attachment]

I think D.K also flashed his film stock using the panaflasher or in a lab, giving this particular hue to the shadows.

Hi, I think as far as film is concerned, red footage will always be soft because of the very structure of film stock. Red is the last layer, so when it's exposed the light has already been diffused twice (by the blue and green layers). Kodak and others improve this by tweaking the thickness of each layer and its content. (Check out the MTF curves) I don't know how it goes for video.
