What'd you do for audio?

Chris, great work as always. What sets it apart for me is the ability to use what you have, and still make world class stuff. I also dig that you are willing to share all the BTS stuff that I just drool over. A masterclass every time. In fact, I wish you could do something like one of these online Masterclasses, they pretty much rock. https://www.masterclass.com Would be great to have a kind of REDucation that could be tuition based, and online!!!

We anything that had the Ritter fans going was completely useless, so that was a rebuild in post by our sound designer Ken Cain. There was a pretty extensive sound design throughout the film in fact, as there is so little dialog. It also wove in and out with the score which was fairly tonal and atmospheric as well.

Same here I normally avoid Vimeo for the same reason and I have really pretty crappy bandwidth (in the middle of no-where) off my T-moble/ hotspot / samsung tablet and I was surprised how SMOOTH and immediate the VIMEO feed was this time too...

Are we looking at new secret sauce/ secret source here :-)

We tried various sources from DNX to Prores and the Prores resulted in a significantly cleaner compression on Vimeo than the DNX 4K source did. We're talking 100GB+ files uploaded... We didn't experiment as much on YouTube and fed it the same Prores output source.

Thanks Eric, valuable feedback. Banding drives me crazy! A bit of a let down on YouTube's part. The 4K output is completely banding free, so if we are able to arrange some 4K screenings for the Hydrogen day and around CineGear, it'd be great to show it off in 5.1 and 4K at the Red theater...

Not on Hydrogen day, but Cinegear for sure.

Red theatre sounds amazing !!! / very very sweet indeed.

I'd sit in, stay longer for a "Director's" commentary type thing... Play it once then replay, stop /start/ pause / play and talk through maybe how some of the key / deceptively simple yet very tricky sequences came together.

Perhaps we can try to pull some of Epoch's team for a CineGear screening/Q&A... Just depends on timing and work schedules.

Scot, did you catch all my blathering on for the ASC's Instagram feed?

I did not...let me look that up...but do tell.

[Jeff McCoy]

Take a drive up to LA, and watch it in our theater at the studio in all it's glory :)

Ohhhhh +1 please

I know your ethic and I embrace it....I am searching every post...you once wrote a very long post very early in the morning (I think) about being asked something that the poster could easily look up. I will do my own looking...thanks for that push.
