Red Camera Motion

[sunnyjim]

I'm curious to know what the individuals who saw the PJ short think about the motion of the footage. Video has a tendency to streak and blur in a strange and telling way that film doesn't at slow shutterspeeds. If you shoot at 1/48th on any variety of HD and HDV cameras these days you will notice a very distinctive slurring effect on moving objects. I realize this happens in film too, don't dogpile me, it's just very telling with video. The default shutterspeed on most prosumer HDV camcorders seems to be around 1/24th 1/48th and can be rather streaky in a way film is not unless going for a deliberate slow shutter effect. It's just more telling when in the digital world I find. My primary application of the red camera would be to create cinematic content that is photographically on par with 35mm. I find that the motion of people and objects is an important factor in achieving this look. I can't wait to see the PJ clips so I can get a better idea. Hopefully they shot the film at a variety of shutter speeds/shutter angles... maybe not though. I'm curious to know what the priviledged few who have seen red footage think of its motion?

Does red one come with adjustable shutter speed/angle options? (dumb question I know but does it?)

Just watch the clip from > this thread (http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1883). The motion rendering is perfect. If you still think this looks like video, there is little one can do to help you :blink:

Yes adjustable, just not yet turned on in the protos that PJ used.

I agree Mike. And Graeme, I must say that from what I can tell on the short online clip the motion rendering looks perfect. I no longer believe that we have anything to worry about concerning the electronic shutter if the default 180 degree shutter looks like it does in that clip.

I honestly think it has more to do with the fact you can scrutinize the motion artifacts in front of you on a NLE vs staring at a still frame in a movie theatre.

film at 24fps isn't perfect for motion ...

i find it best to judge "motion" viewing at 24fps NOT single frames ..
