[Unwounded]

[Jeff Kilgroe]

The two lenses pictured so far are the same.. the 18-50. The 300mm won't have 3 gear rings on it and it will be BIGGER.

[liquidigital]

[Tonaci Tran]

I see CE mark and FCC certification on the bottom label; it's impressive to me that the Red team managed to get all that done with hardware changes so soon before the ship date.

[Justin O'Neill]

ACK!! I'm so not gonna be able to sleep tonight.

You are the hookup Toni. Props.

I'm capturing footage from my HV20 sitting on my desk right now,
and I have sitting on my floor, a disassembled suddenly nonfunctioning JVC DV500 with a tape stuck in it. :-(

Wish I was assembling my RED instead.

[Sam Druckerman]

Thanks Guys!!!

I Love It......

[Gabriel Beaudry]

Nice frame grab!

[Steve Freebairn]

You've never looked better Blair!

I can see every hair on your arm. detail is amazing even if its slightly out of focus

My hero! Hehe.

Yeah, yeah... I said I was going to sleep. ...That didn't work out so well.

[Geoff Reisner]

Great image! All default settings? iso320?

[IAN SUN]

Sooo Fresh sooo clean! You go Blair!
Amazing!

[jaadgy akanni]

Evin, you there too? C'mon indulge us and give us that same pose with an SLR now-if u ain't got the mount get some duct tape or something.

[Andrew Benz]

Save Blair. Save the world.

Great first shot! OK time for meds -- pulls top off of a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale out of the freezer...

Here is to Blair, Tonaci and Jarred #10.... Cheers....

is blair running for office? ;)

[Finner]

Holy crap that red frame grab even makes Blair look good. I had a lot to drink one night on the town with Blair in Las Vegas and he looks better in that still then 12-20 drinks made him look. A little more in focus as well.

[Steve Freebairn]

LOL. I already have it loaded and a few ideas forming in my head.

[Rick Darge]

Yea thanks for the idea Jarred !

[laguun]

oh poor guy.. our photoshop guys are gonna have a field day with that photo of poor Blair.

i think we can proclaim the blair - photoshop week :)

p.s. *yawn* good morning from europe, thats what i call a wakeup post!

[Miltos Pilalitos]

Oh... the fun we will have while focusing!

[Tonaci Tran]

field report.. we are eating late night pizza.

[jbeale]

The lack of noise in the dark background is just amazing. Is this a TIFF exported straight from the Red Alert app? I notice that there seems to be no meta-data at all in it? --hopefully that's something that will be supported in the future. Anyway great job Tonaci & the rest of you folks in unpacking and getting the first image out to the waiting hordes so quickly!

http://bealecorner.com/D30/misc/RED-hero-detail.jpg

[Alex Boothby]

Did you guys post-sharpen the image before sending, by any chance?

[John Wee]

Look how clean the black is !! GOOD GOD !! The hvx would have lots of fiesta on the black area. Which lens was used to shoot that ?

[Chris Forbes]

The dynamic range of that photo is amazing. Off the chart, jaw dropping, AMAZING. Detail in the shadows and in the edges of the light.

Hey now.... 4096x2048? 2:1 aspect ratio?

[Rick Darge]

I can't wait for some night shots still.. powered by those ugly lamps..


Are you guys at home or in San Diego? These stills look the red studio?

Do you guys just like pizza a lot?

[Tonaci Tran]

okay the blair hero tiff came straight out of red alert, it did have a default sharpening setting that we didn't know was on. we turned it off..so future tiffs..no post sharpening.

[Alex Boothby]

Does Evin always wear that shirt?

[Alex Boothby]

okay the blair hero tiff came straight out of red alert, it did have a default sharpening setting that we didn't know was on. we turned it off..so future tiffs..no post sharpening.

Cool. Thanks Tonaci. I was wondering about those buttons. Keep it up man!

[S. Um]

Nice pictures! Thanks guys.

Hey, I noticed you're using the LCD. Is the EVF not ready yet?

Also, what happened at the Red gathering? Did you guys get special training?

[erbp]

okay the blair hero tiff came straight out of red alert, it did have a default sharpening setting that we didn't know was on. we turned it off..so future tiffs..no post sharpening.

That's good news. I didn't like what was happening in the highlights on the shirt button and the bridge of his nose.

okay.. currently testing Zeiss Standard primes.. although we didn't do any critical testing..i am proud to announce that there doesn't appear to be any portholing. 5 primes just shot. 300mm red just shot. currently testing the super 16mm zeiss.

[Antoine Baumann]

Yeah trop fort!!! Long life to RED

Give us some details of what accessories you got with the cam, and workflow as soon as you can.

thanks so much!

I guess tomorrow I'm going to have to go kick the g5 to the curb and buy the new mac pro I've been putting off to the last possible minute.

I have to see this quality of image move and I know once the initial footage is posted I haven't got a chance.

[Gavin Greenwalt]

One complaint and this is directed at RED not the footage.

*.Tif works on all computers
*.Tiff is poorly supported on PCs.

I know REDAlert! is Mac only for now, but... other people have to deal with this footage. Please change your default or else I'm going to have to run Sequence 911 on all the footage to rename the extensions.

[Thom Steinhoff]

How about focus assist, etc. Active on your cameras or coming soon?

Try to get a straight up shot at the stars if possible :) I'm really interested to see what kind of detail you can get at iso 500 or 1000.

[Alex Boothby]

I just blasphemed... and sharpened the eyes just a bit in photoshop. Very nice. I love having control over this without the camera default dictating this. Graeme's genius has payed off.

For the record - bluring the chroma channels only will do a good job of removeing chromatic aberations in over sharpened footage. I am doing this right now on a Phantom job - nice camera but it appears to have very little or no low pass filtering and suffers from rather extreme CA. The chroma-blur trick works well and goes a long way towards removing that harsh highlight "video look"

just got back. dumping footage

[Damien Molineaux]

hv20 in the same frame is funny/appropriate.
hv20 = best sub $1000 cam ever
Red = best sub $30,000 cam ever

Nope, more like :

hv20 = best sub $1000 cam ever
Red = best cam ever, period

This is based on pure faith, but time will prove it.

have been like most supporters very EXCITED.

I'm trying to get financing together to aqcuire a
Red One, If i make a deposit now i guess ill get it
mid 2008? Anyway, I am very happy for the 1rst 25.

Im the mean time

Thanks Mr Jannard for being a agent of change.

Please keep publishing the TIFFs and no Photoshopping please! We want to see that stuff right from the cam!

Your hard work is so much appreciated!

Edges are not looking good. Colored jaggies. Filtering artifacts? :holloween:

[Johnny Friday]

great dof

[Kholi Hicks]

This is my first post o'er here at REDuser. I've been following this thread for hours, just refreshing and letting the envy take up sleepy time.

The footage made me register (after so long) and post up:

Nothing to be said that hasn't already been said thirty thousand times over. But... Wow... the H.264 file straight out to 42" LCD is absolutely amazing.

Congrats to those that took the risk... I can't even imagine how you must feel right now.

Can't wait to get my hands on this thing (hopefully this November).

[Andy Fordham]

quality !

[Seung Han]

2k compressed h.264...

That is amazing:bleh:

[Andrew Benz]

The model was obviously a graduate of the Handsome Boy Modeling School.
Remember, Handsome Begets Handsome.

[Álex Montoya]

Wow...

[Jim Perry, Jr.]

Define Jaggles?

[Fix]

This is great. but the nightcan pic means trouble. silent before the storm...

[Álex Montoya]

The nightcan is a bit disappointing but I am sure that things can be done much, much better than this. With a fast lens and a correct use of the curves in RED Alert! a much better result may be yielded.

[Carlo Rho]

Many answers here

Thanks RED & Redusers!

[Seung Han]

Define Jaggles?

Didn't want to get into it b/c unsharp was used in PSD and also it looks a little soft (slightly out of focus) but can't deny its there. But who knows what the original file looks like, maybe it will be uploaded for comparison.

Still, the 2k compressed looks stunning. I am glad I am ticket holder, and these aint no wolf tickets!!!

[Karl H]

yeh lets forget the nightcan one ever happened eh :-)

Watching that 2K mov though brought back my Red confidence super quick. Looks great.

I think what this (at very early stages) is showing, is just how hard it's going to be to hit focus at 4K. I think this is why we're getting some early sharpened/processed images, which is to be expected...

I read in the FX article that they didnt think Red had as wide a Dynamic Range as the F23. I thought it was a bit early to judge on that, unless they know something we dont.

BTW thanks to the all nighter team for doing this. Exciting times.

[Mikael Lubtchansky]

Remember the nightcan image is ISO 2000 and has way too much unsharp mask applied in photoshop so we should not judge the RED ONE from this shot.

The 2K H264 (at 800 or 1000 ISO, no curve/postprocessing) is truely AMAZING !!!

Thanks guys for posting early tests for all of us.

[Brook Willard]

Jaggies came in post, don't worry.

All shots were WFO.

I'm dead tired... we're back at my house now and it's time for bed. Tomorrow's another day of shooting... with more cameras! :)

[Brook Willard]

We'll talk more about what we did tomorrow. We'll also put some time into lighting it... making it look better, etc. This was the "let's figure it out and then break it" test. More to come... much more.

G'night.

[CJ Roy]

The 2k looks amazing. Good work guys, you really pulled through.

Thank you.

...where are you??? I'll open a bottle of vintage bollinger and save a friends life. What you say?

Consider it saved!

That's what I figured.

Great work guys and it is much appreciated!

My girl is watching TV next to me and she thinks I'm crazy right now getting this excited over seeing images of you guys...

[Paolo Tinari]

2K H264 at 800/1000 looks like wow.
How much light was on? I'm noticing a little skewing when he raises his head, at the beginning; it's only me?

[david farland]

Brook/Tonaci,

Many thanks....very much appreciated!!!
have a good night.

Dave,

[dvpixl]

Amazing. looks good on the timeline.

[Alexander Nikishin]

Maaaaaan that 2K footage looks awesome, it even makes Brook look a bit like Leonardo Dicaprio.

RED works wonders.

The eyes grab.......beauuuuuutiful!

The nightcan grab, run, hide.

[Justin Kirchhoff]

Hey guys, I'm at work right now. Luckily I work early Saturday mornings.

Thanks for all the sacrifices everyone made tonight. I was really excited just reading through all the posts. One of those jubilation feelings I can't shake. Very cool stuff.
