If this was a Hollywood Caper movie, (that ends well) the heroic company, having some final glitches with their new sensor, and unable to actually launch at NAB, would launch anyway, in an amazing...

Introduced to and sold on the RED camera concept by Craig Thomson, a lunatic former Oakley rep who still swears Jim fired him at least 3 times! Could have been 5 times. i was so amused by this I...

RIGHTIO, now I've seen it.


Shakespeare wrote a play once titled 'Much Ado About Nothing', and that was my overall impression of the HFR in 'The Hobbit'. To me there was no seismic shift in craft...

Appropriate to Christmas time, this thread just keeps on giving!

My sister visiting from interstate announced to me just now that she had purchased tickets for both of us to go see 'The Hobbit' in...

Meanwhile in Australia, where the film hasn't opened yet, Warners has dramatically curtailed the number of HFR screenings. Awhile back negative reactions were attributed to the film "not being...

Woot!!!!

(Can't believe I just wooted, only wish I was the first reply.)

I'll just toss up something else I haven't seen mentioned.

When Jackson premiered 10 minutes of footage at CinemaCon 8 months ago and it was mercilessly slayed by just about everyone, using the...

Ticket sales is a poor indication of whether 48fps is considered a "success" IMO. For instance, I have (below) zero interest in this film's subject matter other than the 48fps. I will go and see this...

I resonate with all the names David Mullens threw up, plus Slocombe, and all I'll add is the cinematographer who went from one extreme to the other (furthest) was Leon Shamroy lighting the gorgeous...

Thanks for that interesting link. Believable and sensible.

OMG, that means a larger fish devouring all the others? What a shock.

Ed Harris could do it.

I'm along these lines too. The higher frame rates and of course 3D to me seems just the stone-age version of what will one day be the holy grail of immersive virtual reality; feeling as though you're...

Re: Doug Trumbull UFOTOG project; that is quite old now, was at least a couple of years with no further updates and was effectively Trumbull trying to raise funding. He gets involved with an...

Fascinating shenanigans going on these days in the Camera Wars... which beat the Clone Wars hands down.

I'm a RED supporter and customer, (although I seem to only post devil's advocate stuff...

I was directing a play once where the producer offered the lead to someone who accepted, then notified the photo-finish second choice moments later that they had not got the role. When the winner...

... and would be willing to grab me a couple of static shots of the MGM Grand sign at night? I need two 10 second shots for a short film I'm completing.
I've got photographic reference of the...

To me RED is tracking along nicely, a relative baby in this competitive field, movie making that has such a rich history. RED fans often talk about how "objective" they are, then go on to bemoan why...

This surely would have been mentioned before, but if it hasn't... Jackson says that it only takes "10 minutes" to get used to the higher frame rates, overlooking the fact that he has been watching it...

Liam is spot-on, and at 4:24 there is an angle that shows the white backdrop and the black background where they meet.

Good to know that EPIC works in zero gravity environments.

Considering the amount of hard work that went into the making of this doco's 4 parts, plus heavyweight views, including other thought-provoking observations, (and the fact that it is so convenient...

To file under the magic mysteries of firmware, Gene (the Epic-X) was about to make the big journey back to the States for a repair visit, but the latest firmware upgrade seems to have restored...

That's like an entertainer who has had a standing ovation from 98% of the packed stadium, but has a tantrum and retires because not EVERYONE stood up! Steve, if it'll make you feel any better, I sent...

Have not installed this release build after reading so many negative experiences, but I'll add, just for general Reduser knowledge, that I have shot quite a bit on the beta build with no problems...

Received e-mail notification from RED a few weeks ago that the EPIC-X we have (#2330) needed the new antenna -- we had it sent out -- then opened up the EPIC for the install to discover it already...
