Shoot the interior of a biplane cockpit, with your RED, under exposed 3 stops and pump it in post because you only shot two days. If you hurry before they fix the black vertical banding you will be able to duplicate it!

Whats interesting about RED is that some people are approaching it from the "run and gun" perspective because of the price bracket and methodology. And others (me included) thinking posibly I can have more control and maybe time (through Apple' Colour) to manage a look. Its a different way of working to the traditional film model. I can grade while the edit is happening etc.
I've always shot film, and its taken the incredible event that is RED to make me jump away from film because it expands my creative horizons. It can reflect more of my vision and the production team, but it does need a good team.
There were elements on PJ shoot that I picked up on, but it was a shoot that I'd reckon would need two and half days to shoot with two units, so the crew did great. The upshot is though if you want to deliver a project in 2k/4k, any weakness's in your production will be exposed. Whether its not good makeup, design,lighting, or a so so focus puller.
Resolution alone does not make a film.

8. Shoot 4k porn?
Ugh. Some things were just not meant to be done in HD. :D

Dont underestimate the porn industry. As you may recall, VHS won over Betacam in the consumer market strongly effected by that particular industry. But I agree in terms to the 4k porn. I doubt that will happen soon, they did choose VHS :poster_oops:Originally Posted by pixelchef

Shoot with the wrong framerate. 12fps instead of 120fps.

Back on topic here, I just shot a beer commercial (wide open) with an HVX200 and mini-35/Zeiss Ultraprimes. (Normally I'm on shoots as an HD tech or 2nd Cam Assist).
I always knew/understood focus was a challenge when maintaining a shallow depth of field...and experienced it first hand. There's a reason why you need a camera department when shooting 35mm. It took me (the operator) 3 or 4 takes to get closeups (leaning in to sitting down) right. Something most of us will need to practice before shooting, as we don't want to have a perfect performance ruined by soft focus.
I'm certainly up for the challenge....and look forward to becoming a better focus puller...but Jim has a very good point.

Going from DV to HD(1080) with manual focus I think was a real challenge. I have tons of shoots that is a tad out of focus. scale down to dvd and you dont even see it. Keep it in 1080 and its quite evident IMO. 4k...phu, I can only imagen.

or push record button without realizing it. That will DEFINITELY produce...
