I think this would be good for smaller independent theaters that lack the space for a full blown IMAX setup. Super exclusive small venue for birthday parties or private screenings. Very few people...

Honestly, this sound like a job for that new MOVI system. Build a small bracket to hold the MOVI top handle and when it drops into position, the operator would grab it by the two main control...

My brother goes to school in Boston and he runs track and field. He almost attended the race but decided at the last minute to no go because he had a term paper to finish. That paper may have saved...

Wow, just wow. This has easily rocketed to the top of my most anticipated list for 2013. Red Epic, Neil Blomkamp ... take my money now.

So a few months back, I heard that David Fincher was working on a small project using a prototype Epic Monochrome. Well today, this was released and I am willing to bet that this was the project in...

I'm sure some of you have seen the Gareth Evans Indonesian action masterpiece The Raid: Redemption. If you have not, pick up a copy on DVD immediately (If hardcore martial arts are your thing). I can...

Um, Looper is better than Three Kings. Not a Russell fan. The only movie he did that I like is The Fighter. Best movie this year was Zero Dark Thirty followed closely by Django Unchained.

There...

Three of the best picture nominees were shot on Alexa (3 out of 9), three of the best foreign language films were shot on Alexa (3 out of 5), two of the best cinematography nominees were filmed on...

Zero Dark Thirty

I also loved Lincoln, The Raid, Seven Psychopaths, Skyfall, Django Unchained, Looper and Life of Pi

I keep hearing people talking about the limitations of 24fps. What limitations does 24fps have? You can't pan? For starters, the pan is an ugly move. Second, strobing problems with pans and dollys...

I had a chance to watch the 48 fps version in IMAX 3D and was a bit easier to watch than the RealD version I saw earlier. Even though it was a 2K LieMax screen, it was still the sharpest thing I have...

A warning to my fellow Redusers, Do not see this film in HFR48fps. Its looks awful, really really awful. I can't even begin to describe how unpleasant this experience was. You can tell the budget for...

Holy cow, looks pretty epic. Not to keen on the CG but the live action footage looks stunning. Can't wait :)

The industry has lost what I would consider to be one of the top 5 working cinematographers. His work on Zodiac, The Yards, Birth and The Game is really something special and I have tried to imitate...

I understand but to me, that is a dead giveaway that it was shot digitally. However, there have been a few films shot on film that I thought were shot digitally so I guess as film stocks have become...

For many, I think it simply comes down to the look of the footage. Many DP's pick the Alexa over the Epic simply because they think the footage looks more "filmic". I agree with this sentiment to...

So we have yet another big release shot on Red, and a period piece no less.

This is the widest non distorting Nikon lens: http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/13mm.htm

If you can find one, it would probably cost you more than a new Red One MX.

If you have to ask:...

According to IMDB, this was shot on the Epic. Looks good (but I though the same thing about Righteous Kill, so we'll see).

Enjoy.

I just bought a Black Magic Cinema Camera!

It probably won't be seen at all outside of the US, which is a shame. Still, it is primarily directed at voters in the US. It would be like watching a documentary about the British Prime Minister...

This breaks my heart. This man directed the film that I have seen more times than any other film. Top Gun is one of the first films that I remember seeing as a kid and I instantly fell in love with...
