Looks Fantastic. When can we see some of this in motion?

would love to hear about some of the lighting set ups for the stills.

what are you doing on sunday ;)

It basically means I'm trading some extra highlight room for a little noisier picture. Also, gaining a stop so i can stop down to sharpen up the anamorphic lenses. That is effectively under exposing the red sensor one stop. Camera is set to 640 and all lighting decisions are based off of that. When the footage is processed in post in red's software we change the asa back down to 320 and bring up the mids with a curve. The resulting image is cleaner than if processed at 640.

Hey Matt, The transcoding workflow has been very slow. We did have an issue with out main drive that the footage was copied to and has severely slowed down post. hope to be playing with build 18 and some more anamorphic lenses very soon.

http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=21942 you lucky bastard. Good luck with the lenses. Those were the ones I wanted to use on my last shoot.

personally i think being able to check focus on a laptop at 1:1 pretty much instantly is way better.

even when scaled to 2k you can see the difference in sharpness but the main difference was their flaring. The lomo will mainly be used for the band performance and I'm not worried about them cutting together.

you can get a optical viewfinder with the ims mount. also, what ac gets to look in a viewfinder during takes?

why did you guys go with capturing into FCP instead of p2 cards?

Just playing around with some grabs from Monday's shoot. Much thanks to Stan Paik and Sam Druckerman and my lovely crew that helped pull this off on a pretty meager budget. Director: Tim Hyten DP: Matt Garrett Gaffer: David Carstens First AC: Dave Christenson B Cam: Stanley Paik Art Dept: Jeremy Cisneros Shot with elites 32mm, 75mm, and 180mm from slow motion inc (who were awesome) and lomo 50mm all shots were shot at 640 asa and processed at 320 Lit with 3 9light maxi's, some 2k zips, 2k's, 1k's, and two 4ft kinos.

build 17 now has 1:1 viewing for focus checks.

also looking for some s16 cooke kinetals. PM if you have any willing to sell.

I think that's a bit wrong. They are delivering the first cameras at the end of december.

Anything you would compare it to image wise? How was the dynamic range?

pillars were existing.

haha touche'. same statement applies then ;)

Don't use a beta build on a job unless you're willing to take the consequences.

"We are renting the rest of the camera gear, including Zeiss Ultra Primes and Angenieux Optimo zooms, from The Camera House. Theo Pingarelli will be A-cam operator and Marcus Lopez will be A-cam 1st AC. We have a 2-camera RED package (with a back-up third body) but, due to budget, there won?t be a B-camera 2nd AC, just a Camera PA." - David Mullen "We are shooting with Build 15 loaded in the cameras (Build 16 comes too late for this production but maybe the next one in July will use it). 4K RAW 2:1 mode, framed for cropping to 2.40 : 1. Since everything is painted in shades of brown, and all the clothing is also brown, I don?t have to do much in-camera or post manipulation to the colors to get this desaturated brown effect, it happens naturally (i.e. it already looks manipulated.) We are going for a softer look, so I will be using some diffusion. In this case, I am trying out the new Schneider Classic Blacks, a combination of Classic Softs and the #1/8 Black Frost. We may also do some digital diffusion in post. Right now, Plaster City in Hollywood is handling our dailies workflow." - David Mullen

It clips when it's been overexposed :P

Those are some amazing deals! The footage looks great. Can't wait to see the piece cut together.

I've heard that AC Inc in nashville got a few reds in. I'm sure they'll be happy to show you.

Has anybody hooked up kinos to a type of strobe system? How difficult is it to pull off?

Thank you guys very much. Will look into it.
