  1. I'd humbly suggest that you could use download managers. There's even free ones, like this: http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/ It allows for a lot of things among better speed and also *resuming* the download, in case the connection broke down or some other malfunction occured. For example, if you were downloading a [large] file and the connection broke down on 98% of the download - it's a pain. But with a download manager, you could resume the download from 98 % on and not from the beginning all over again. Hope that I'm helping.
  2. I'm not a web detective, I don't know what's the real case, and thus - I don't have an opinion pro or contra anyone. It seems that the moderators at reduser checked these users and found that the IP is identical [with yours]. How did that happen? There are solutions for that, but I won't make any further comments. :ph34r: In anyway, playing hide and seek games on forums doesn't make much sense.
  3. Good, cause it's actually a plasma canon. The camera outfit is just for cover.
  4. I wholeheartedly agree with these two bits. For the DI of Skull, it is 2K, if I'm not mistaken.
  5. Hmm, I expected a production of this level to get a 4K DI\filmout...
  6. I personally was amazed by The New World. It is so deep, that I think it's early for me to make a more detailed comment about it. But I was just... amazed. It kept me thinking for hours and not many movies have such effect on me. There were, of course, a few things that I didn't like, but in general - it was a special experience watching this film. Visually, it is one of the most beautifully-shot films I've seen in my life. For that I'm sure. Just adding my 2c to the thread. The fact that artists of this kind choose Red [even only for a few shots] says a lot.
  7. OK, dreaming is free. So, if it's a DREAM camera, then it should definitely have: - 65mm sensor which should be: - 8K [if CMOS Bayer], so that we could have full-luma+full-chroma mindblowing 4K out of it. - or a 4K [future FoveoNx3 type of cinema sensor] - RAW. There's no going back from RAW, that's for sure. - 120 fps at 8K. [OMG, uncompressed RAW from 8K would be... 1,3 GB\sec for 24 fps and... what? - ~ 6GB\sec for 120 fps... OK, that's futuristic :) ] - Random sampling. - Record to SSD drives. - The camera should be called: "RED Lawrence" :) - under 30k $... Ok, under 50k $ :)..... O-oh, ok, under 100k $ :(. ... But for the moment... A Scarlet would do :).
  8. Thanks. Sometimes I seem to be overzealous in my pursuit of simplicity.
  9. Very good answer! The story is what matters and how the audience perceives it. The behind-the-scenes stuff is for us filmmakers, so that we can have fun. :) Peace.
  10. Hi y'all, I was wondering what would you think of this short we did: On Vimeo If you have 5 mins. to watch, I'd be happy to know your thoughts. Thanks.
  11. There was a topic at RedUser for potentially adapting a RED One camera to become a 4K film scanner. Cannot find it, though.
  12. Having not taken part in this thread for two days makes the interweaving of the RED discussion with the Christian one look extremely funny. :lol: RED crucify-ers should beware, cause even if they succeed in taking the cam's prestige down, it might very well come back.... stronger than ever before. :)
  13. Yeah, but why such negative pathos? If it really is such a crap - f*ck it. Why the flag-burning?
  14. :). I think the initial post is a little over the edge. "Grotesquely incompetent", etc. It sounds almost angry, why is that? RED certainly isn't perfect but why such intense negativism? Such new equipment causes very positive developments, IMHO, and is also used by some top professionals. If RED is such a plague, people can just ignore it, no hard feelings are necessary. My 2c.
  15. It's my fault, cause I dug into the Jesus-Roman thing. But I can see there is some energy floating around these issues. One thing's for sure - the guy probably had some pretty bad times + death for no good reason and Romans and Jews were equally wrong for doing that. ... Anyway, what I'm seeing from the RED One is gorgeous. Not every single piece of footage, but most are very impressive. I guess it's a question of who's using the thing and also how processing and post are done. I'll be surprised if any company offers that kind of quality [s35 sensor, 4K, ~10 stops of latitude, RAW recording] on such a price in the near future. And who would that be? Sony? Don't think so. Arri? It's possible, but what - they're gonna offer an under 30 k $ working kit? Dunno. The RED gives people like me the opportunity to really focus on the story without having to worry for "not shooting on film". I'm not a big budget guy and I don't have any particular ambition for ever becoming one. There are some pretty good under 10k HD cameras around, but even with a 35mm adapter and good glass, footage from them has "almost" written on them. When I watch good footage from the RED, that "almost" is gone. My 2c.
  16. And what about the co-Pilot? :) (sorry, couldn't resist) Look, noone is lecturing here. I said it is a speculation, cause there's no real evidence. But, IMO, what J.C. was speaking was just metaphorical blah-blah in the eyes of Roman political power. No real threat, cause there wasn't any resistance organization or anything. And BTW, the Gospels were first-hand info, at least some of them, cause they were written by the apostles, but that's not hard proof. Anyway, it's a question of faith. But the effect of all this was too big for it to be just hoax.... or better - a scam. :)
  17. (sorry for the continued off-topic). Well, all the "evidence" we have on this actually is in the Gospels. The film is based on these scriptures. But let's look at things from a different POV. Why would the Romans want to kill a carpenter who preaches eternal life? The guy wasn't instigating any political or military form of anti-Roman revolt and thus wasn't confronting Roman imperial interest. Nevertheless it's quite likely that he was confronting some other interests... Of course all this is speculation, because it's based on the Gospels, which are human account, and thus requires the brackets around evidence. (I propose to close the Christ off-topic here). ... But I'd wanna ask something else. It's obvious that the development of the RED Camera has cost enormous investment - money, time, energy, commitment. But in the end, the creators of RED are offering their camera for 17 500 $ [25-30 000 $ for working kit]. This is MIGHTY cheap. Even with 3000+ reservations, the profit from such a huge undertaking is questionable with these prices. (Although I hope they'll have more reservations\profit in the future). So my question is simple: Why would they wanna do that?
  18. Actually, the Romans did leave Christ to live.
