But it's not us who said that RED is better or worse....

 

 

THEIR commercial implies that RED is replacing film!

 

Thay didn't said:

RED is a just a new diferent thing, that you can ad to your pallete of tools.....

They acctualy directly implied who should be considered as a winer and who as a loser in the SAME arena !

 

 

Pretty dissapointing if RED menagment is behind such an idea...

Just to clarify..Red management is not behind the idea.

Looks like they didn't even have the budget to get a 35mm camera ;)

can't deny it. no money for a 35mm camera to bury. sorry

I'm on a mac with 2.2 gamma and it looks washy here.... I don't think it's the gamma @ all. Check your scopes on that spot as I think something is going way off when you go to the .flv.

yeah..its the compression because I noticed a color shift. thanks for the heads up. I am working on it.

We're going through a transition to be sure, but I can remember posts just last year saying that Red One would kill film, I can remember such posts pre-2000 when the F900 was coming out.

 

Eventually if, when every new digital cine camera is announced, you predict it will replace film, you're eventually going to be right. If not the EPIC, it will be whatever follows the EPIC two years later... so the value of such prediction-making is limited, it's just cocktail conversation.

 

I certainly see EPIC and whatever else comes out in the next two years as being important pieces of the puzzle of what will come to dominate eventually over film, whether they specifically will be those cameras.

 

Now whether film can survive when it is no longer the dominant format for production, I don't know. It requires a certain amount of infrastructure from manufacturing to labs. On the other hand, I can still shoot 35mm still film and get it developed and printed.

David..gotta love how you are always so calm and articulate.

in reference to what David posted,

I worked on 5 feature films this year and many commercials that were all shot on RED. These productions told me that they won't choose 35mm ever again. film isn't going to suddenly vanish, this is just a small example that a transition is happening for many productions who previously only chose 35mm as their chosen format.

as for my commercial, it definitely wasn't meant for "i will shoot film until i die" folks.

The poster has to be respectful, that translates to saying something is awesome when it's a pile of crap. Not allowing people to state their opinion devalues the REDUSER site IMHO.

quote from the poster:

"It is not just the budget that is to blame for your worse than a 1st-year filmschool-level obnoxious short. What are you...like 15?"

hey so what if I am young. you guys had to start somewhere didn't you?

Wow, we're beyond simple word-of-mouth advertising; now fanboys are actually making their own commercials for a product they like. Terrifying.

spec commercials aren't anything new and hey.. I like RED.

Picture wise, rather depressing....

 

Landscape with no greens, browns, reds, yellors, colorless buds and flowers, sky without blue...

 

:(

 

Also, I noticed a quite a lack of faith of the creators of this commercial:

 

If they truly belive that films days are over, why didnt' they put a 535 or panavisions in the grave?

 

Why they decided to destroy only worthless 8mm and 16mm consumer cameras?

:)

You are all correct...the spot was cut on a mac 2.2 gamma so if you are viewing it on any other environment it does look way washed out. completely my fault. the spot is being uploaded with a more proper look.

As for your second question..so you know..the whole spot was done for practically nothing. we had enough to cover for proper permits and permission to shoot at the cemetary..everything else was all voluntary and donated time. it was hard finding someone to lend me a 35mm film camera to bury. =)
