Here's another question, can non-owners have Red Alert without drawing ire from Red?

[Evin Grant]

Hey Nate! WOW all the old peeps are coming out to play. Nice to read you, long time no type. About Red Alert there isn't any hard info yet but they want people to use the footy so it's encouraging.

Mutemath is on my page btw, but the black level is messed. It didn't deliver that way.

I imagine the fine print on the license says not to distribute...

I gotta get my hands on a clip, the QT component and Alert...!

[Evin Grant]

Here it is, a whoping 1GB but it's nice...

OK before we begin, this was processed to show the maximum possible dynamic range, that said some of the lower shadow tones have been boosted significantly so there is some noise, it seems totally reasonable to me and I haven't even begun to scratch the surface of Red-decoding. For reference I've included a screen shot of the clip at import defaults and then the Processed QT. This particular clip was created by making a TIFF sequence and importing into FCS2. There is ALOT of quicktime funkyness going on with Gamma, recalibrating your monitors for 2.2 will help a little.
You might also want to try to use the little AV controls in QT Pro to match the screen grab below.

Best DR (I can get at this point in my learing curve)

Obviously if you were shooting this scene for real you would have either scrimmed off the talent of filled in the background.

Here's the 2K Pro Res, be gentle and of course mirrors greatly appreciated.

Looks great Evin, keep it comin!

P.S. I'm extremely jealous of you, Brook and Tonaci right now! Grrr.

Hi Evin

Well done :-) The bulk of this shot looks like it's right on the edge of the lower histogram, so this is a good example of how much noise there is in the shadows at 320ISO. I think it looks acceptable.

Like you say, if you had time you'd either fill or take some of the light off the subjects. But for what it is, I think this is very useable.

Even better news is that it looks like you could have pushed the exposure up a little without clipping too, there is a little more room in the highlight range unused; which may have made the shadows less noisy. Thanks for showing the histogram, I think it helps to understand what is going on in the image more.

Looks Fantastic to me. I really am glad you included the reflective black chair. That would have been a serious no go on a major shoot.

[Tonaci Tran]

Yikes, sorry evin i thought you meant you were posting the other shot where they were next to the window in the lobby. My bad. At least your version is prores. I posted up motion jpega and h264s. Right now I am working on the macro titanium "r" shots.

[David Cubbage]

Thanks very much for posting this clip Evin; I have watched it over and over. To me, it shows how well the camera can cope with extreme lighting conditions. The leather grain on the chair is so crisp. The skin tones of your female model are beautiful. Is that right that she is your daughter?

You're all doing a great job!!

Thankyou,
David
