  1. To be honest, I was very skeptical also but my partner is putting funding together for 7 cameras for a project and I wanted to know what we were putting our money into. I'm still cautious but feel much better about Jim and Red after digging and talking to customers. We've done one project with rented red ones and it was smooth. Our only other option for when we want to buy will be alexa or epic. Alexa looks nice and it's an Arri so that has some comfort for us. The size is not a tiny as epic and it will mean we can only afford 2 alexa plus cameras instead of seven epics. The larger alexa also means we have to bump up to a more expensive steadicam. Ugh. I really wish arri had done 6k like the rumors had suggested. After all we're investing in this project, we are really nervous about shooting 3k. Tough choices at this years NAB for sure! Mike
  2. Money does not buy creativity. If you had a great reel, maybe you'd have that much money.
  3. This is what the Oakley CEO said about Jannard: "What I can tell you about Jim is that he is more of a creative force than he is a businessman, and he is a pretty darn good businessman. He authored the slogans, did the advertisements, shot the photos, directed and shot the commercials, invented the technology (over 600 patents worldwide) and designed the products by himself for the first 20 or so years of Oakley. He was a one man creative wrecking crew. He set the tempo of Oakley thinking and philosophy and taught the current designers what to do. He provided the vision for all that was and is Oakley. It is easy to see his hand at RED cameras. I'm quite sure that it is the same there as it was at Oakley. I have heard that Jim wrote the original color science for the camera. That is no surprise to me. There is no doubt that the modular system for EPIC was his idea. My bet is that he is guiding the entire creative process at RED just as he did here at Oakley. Colin Baden, CEO Oakley."
  4. Hmmm, I did some research and found out a few things about Mr. Jannard's creative body of work. I'm impressed. I wonder who here would put their creative portfolio up against his?

    D21 Stereo

    Is there anyone doing D21 stereo shoots? Can you share details on how they're setup for 3D vs f900 heads or reds? Mike
  6. Kieth, I'm confused about your demonstration and maybe you can help clarify. At 128-256 you'd have 1 stop on a linear image but you seem to be showing a gamma encoded image in which case that wouldn't be the case, correct?
