Agreed. That was my problem all along. It didn't feel right. A large majority of the film was shot on Scarlet in 1.89:1... I hate to conform to 16:9 just to match the other stuff.

Letterboxing is ok with me.

I THOUGHT some festivals are accepting 2k prints. I could be wrong. But I didn't know if it was better to err on the side of bigger.

I know anything CAN work......

Looking for some opinions...

I'm working on a doc that was shot on Scarlets, Red One, 5D's, and 7D's. The footage is all mixed. Lots of 4k @ (4096x2160) and some @ (4096x2304)... some 3k... some...

We'll be starting in Sydney, following lectures in Canberra and Melbourne, then back to Sydney.

Oh, if worse comes to worse, and I need to scale things back and rent... is anyone on the forum up for renting out Scarlets? I've been in touch with a few of the local rental houses, but I figured...

Hey guys, thanks for all the responses! It's been very enlightening.

Pawel, I'm still researching exactly which visa to go with, but thank you for all the info. I might hit you up again if I need...

I had a question about bringing a small American film crew to Australia.

I'm planning to go shoot for about 10 days... just at conventions/lectures... I'm just curious if I'll need any kind of...

Thanks Jim!

I was looking into battery restrictions... with large capacity batteries, each passenger is allowed to CARRY ON (not check) a bag with one battery installed in the device, and two...

I sending them an email currently. Thanks for the tip!

I've ordered 6 of the Globalmediapro batteries, but it looks like they won't reach me here in Arizona before I leave on my trip to Australia. Does anyone in Australia (Sydney specifically) have or...

I'll just respond with a part from my initial post... the parts in bold are the most interesting...

Imagine someone thinking outside of their box? That only happens in the movies.

Actually, the last event I worked on, the house sound man said "Don't worry, I'll take care of you." Yeah... he...

Thanks Kyle.

Thanks for the tip Daniel... gonna read up on this. Do you have any experience with it?

Thanks brother.

Oh hey, how are you mounting your mic? Was just looking at the Redrock microSpud.

Can anyone verify if RED Bricks will charge on the GMP charger? And vice versa? (GMP batteries charge on the RED charger?)

Hey all,

I'll be working on a documentary shot on Scarlets soon, had a couple questions about sound.

I'm looking for a "good"... fairly inexpensive mic to attach to a run-and-gun type of...

You've now compared major surgery and the construction of a building to coloring an indie film. I suppose it's my fault for asking questions though.

Do you happen to know anyone in the...

Here's what I'm thinking my workflow will be, so far:

1. Edit in FCP using proxies
2. XML to Redcine-X for color correction (One reel at a time. Conform to R3D's)
3. Transcode to 2k Prores 4444...

That was a more helpful response. Thank you.

Still, at this point I AM just asking questions. I have to start somewhere. I do know people who work in sound, so I'm not completely dead in the...

How would you define "tragic"? Something like skin tones are a little more orange than they should be, and the distributor throws the movie away and shouts "You'll never work in this town again!"?
...

Good info. I've got some testing to do... Thanks man.

Steve - Thanks for the reply...

I guess one thing I might have left out is that my brother and I both have a backup of all the footage... so transcoding everything will be very time consuming,...

Oh... and a few one-on-one replies...

Oliver - Thanks for all the responses! I'm reading a lot of your blog posts now! Great work!



Why are you rending as a single piece, if you have to...

Thanks for all the responses! I was out of town with no computer this weekend... so I'm gonna fire back at you now...

I'm getting a better grasp on what is the best way to attack this. I still...
