musicvideo testshooting first impressions

[Rainer Fritz]

so guys, thanks first again...

We had a great 1stAC and a great cinematographer. I will post the final version next thursday evening when the grading and the editing will be done.
35mm filmout is neccessary to see how the red image work on the big screen. there is a big difference between displays and a 100 square meter big screen. we will project the final version on a good 2k beamer and also to see what the arri laser will do with the material ... :)
The workflow on apple works for my opinion best. we batch processed via compressor the proxy files and used it for offline editing. after that the post will process the files which are needed for onlining in a tiff sequence to have the full chroma/luma space. i am very interested how it will look then.
we opened one frame of a dark picture in photoshop and in the areas where only black was shown, were detail in. absolutly great.
so i think there are much more issues to be done. the camera looks like there were some really good cinematographers missing, which will give a input specially at building a camera at its hardware design/engeneering.
but never the less it is a great camera...
when i look to linear lighting of the picture which is delivered from the sensor, i will say you have to give one stop additional to measured one, then you are on the point.
we measured every lens and the only one which were out of back focus, was the zoom. but don't worry. the lens brings for the price a well picture. the point is that it is not interior focused. looks like a sigma or something else.
so thats my first impressions....

best regards

Thanks Rainer and all it looks great.

Also the atmosphere looks almost like

a re-make/re-model of

"The Third Man" movie

that has happened now to be shot on RED

like a music video in the Viennese underground :cold:


Detail from Herbstrock music video production 2007.

Almost 50 years ago...> > >


Shot from "The Third Man" found at "Location shots in Vienna of The Third Man (1949)".

"The lighting in the sewer is weird. Actually this is not the sewer.
Rather it is the portion of the River Wien which was covered in the 19th century.
It is emerges again at the entrance to Stadt Park, and in this picture Lime is clearly
running toward that exit of the river, toward the light coming in from that opening for the river.
This is of course strange since he clearly began the chase at night. (Note that the scenes where
people climb down stairs to the "sewer" without lights is highly idealized, as when I climbed down,
it was pitch black without a flashlight)."
