Hi all,
I am realy unhappy the direction that the forums are taking in some points, specialy with RED matter.
I see people that defend RED with violence like a religion and people that atack RED like it will be demon and that is poisoning the forums.
As profesionals most of us Freelance I don´t think we should be making such a general statements because RED/DALSA/ARRI/PANAVISION/... and all the cameras I know have strongh points and weekness and as profesionals we are to have our brain clear to be able to choose the best camera for the proyect we have between our hands. Another thing is to have our prefered camera system that we may perfectly have but there is no need to throw trash in to others roof, we make our point by our decitions.
I know is a naif argument but I am sick of this nonsense verbal violence that is spreeding through the forums an making more complicate to reach the interesting information, that is the actual reason for them to exist, I don´t think the creators of this forums expected them to become a battlefield.
And as a result of this behavior we are loosing the advise of great DOP´s, AC´s, DIT´s, ...
Sorry for this spech but I am just geting tired of beeing forced to read political type of post in stead of technical and profesional opinions.
i am trying to make a test with GEnesis, Dalsa origin, arri D-20 and RED the 15 and 16 of march and I am having more troubles due to this paranoic and sick state of mind that people is getting at than for the actual preproduction matters, and believe they are big ones.
