[Mark Toia]

Just wonderful. Really inspiring work. This is the best Red footage that I have seen.

You'd choke if I tell you how I graded it...

Great stuff Mark, I honestly miss my Canon glass some times, for this I just bought a Canon Al mount, just for those times when I miss it too much and want to lay back with it.

Mark, speechless. Utterly awesome. When can I enroll in the Toia University of Digital Cinema?

I only use canon glass for fun mate. It is good, but not the best mechanically. Optically some canon glass is up there with the best. I shot parts of this job on them just to prove a point to the community that you can actually do million dollar projects on it with minimal compromise.
There is a miss conception out there that canon optics are average, when in fact i can mix it with Master primes glass without noticing. During grading, even I was confused what was what...
Good fun glass to own, but Im still a PL fan.

Thats funny, I used to call my old studio complex TOIA UNI... hahaha..

I mentor a few people already, some are doing quite well. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask. I like seeing young people do well.

Hey Mark -Haha, that's actually kind of funny as I am sure I am a bit older than you. This is my third career (or so) but I am never too old to keep learning. And thanks for the offer to answer questions. From what I can see, I like your business model and your approach, and I am in awe of your talent. Thanks for being here on REDuser!

Yes,

I agreed with you 100%, apart the fact that you will see a difference if finished and screened in 4k, I have.

This piece after I revisited is truly great!!

Definitely love the grading on it too, great choices on the pastel chose.
