Skate on Red

GPSchnyder — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 17:54:44 +0000

I really like Skateboarding. On my Consoles and in TV. I tried it out 15 Years ago, but ‘m more the type of guy for Martial Arts. But from Tony Hawks on my Dreamcast I visited the skateboarding every once and a while. Last on my Wii with Skate It which is a lot of fun.

So why am I telling you this? As I said I also watch Skateboarding on TV if available. And for me this Video filmed with a Red is SkatePorn in 120fps:

skate - shot on red #1347 - 120 fps from www.theglobules.com on Vimeo.

Watch it on Vimeo as you can view it in 720p there.

Mysterium-X - Reduser.net

Jarred from Red has posted another Image grabbed with the Mysterium-X Sensor. Now showing not a dog, but… himself. And besides the Image quality, man, Jarred could be a Model.

I am really fixed with this one. Watching this I realized that in not even a year I can have that image Quality in 3D, filmed with two Red Scarlet Fixed. Man I’m loving this. Now I’d really like to see some moving Images.

Hey Red, bring on the good Stuff!

Want uncompressed? Give 50% upfront!

GPSchnyder — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 09:22:51 +0000

As Jim says at reduser:

So we can build a box for uncompressed that will handle the Mysterium-X, S35 sensor to 100fps uncompressed. That is over 2GB/sec. Cost of the box will be $150K and will record 13 minutes of 100fps or about 50 minutes of 24/25fps. We can also make a box for Monstro FF35, 100fps uncompressed, which is 4.8GB/sec. For similar recording times, the box will sell for $300K.

First shot with the FF35

GPSchnyder — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 09:20:48 +0000

Meet Enzo. He’s shot with the first FF35 Prototype. In 5k. It’s only a 8-bit Screengrab, not a processed file.But dam does that look good. I mean. Look at Frankie2, the Cam that shoot it:

Now tell me. When was the last Time you saw something like that from the “Global Players” like Canon?

I love this stuff. Just look at the quality the screengrab has right now? I mean, it was the first time they powered this baby

What Jim loves about Steven

GPSchnyder — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 08:21:44 +0000

Jim has posted his thoughts about the one and only Steven Soderbergh. Here are his Thoughts:

1. Academy Award winning Director.

2. Loves to shoot his own stuff. And edit it.

3. He doesn’t ask anyone’s permission to do what he thinks will work.

4. Made a decision to shoot two Ché features (Benecio Del Toro) based on seeing Peter Jackson footage and one quick test shoot at his house (with Jarred, Deanan and myself) on two prototype, pre-production RED ONE cameras.

5. Assembles his troops in Spain waiting for two RED ONEs to show up. Has told his team he does not need backup cameras. RED will come through. We got the CF cards working minutes before shooting begins by emailing firmware to Deanan, Rob and Ivan in Spain. They then drive to location and fire up the cameras and start rolling…

6. 1st day shooting in a walk down only valley, 100+ degree temperature. Cameras overheat. SS says “put ice packs on them until RED can figure this out” and continues shooting. Continues this process for a few days until we can email a firmware upgrade. Pre-production firmware, no exposure assist or frame guides of any kind, 24fps only… barely more advanced than “Boris” and “Natasha” used by Peter Jackson. Never complains. Not once. Only… “happy to be here”.

7. Sends me an email how thrilled he is to shoot RED and probably will never shoot anything else, no matter what the budget. Loves the cameras.

8. After finishing the 1st (2nd) Ché movie, decides to shoot the next one anamorphic. We tell him he is nuts. He believes that we will find a way to make it work. We do. He is thrilled with the results.

9. After shooting and editing the two Ché movies, SS informs us he is shooting “The Informant” (Matt Damon) on RED. “What do you have in the way of improvements?” We give him Build 15. Off he goes.

10. Next up is “The Girlfriend Experience”. Shot on RED Build 18 (with anamorphic support). His 1st AC surprises him onset that he can actually view the anamorphic footage correctly on his monitor. He wrote me a note to tell me, “you won’t believe how good this stuff looks… well, maybe you will.”

11. Next up… 3D on RED.

I have to say he’s inspiring to me as well. He’s a guy to mention when someone says to me “The Director of a movie can’t also be the Camera Operator…

Red gone wild

GPSchnyder — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 09:13:27 +0000

Seems like Red’s owner Jim is gone wild. Well, to say at least ! would buy the Chain as it a) looks really good, b) would be a good tool for Self-defense when they try to rob you and c) is the rumored wireless rec/Stop button.

Imagine how cool it would be on set to start your cam (on a crane or hidden in the viewable portion of the Set) via this little gizmo.

Click the Image to se more crazy Stuff from Jim, like a Missile and a wrist watch?/Buckle?

More on Che

GPSchnyder — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 09:41:05 +0000

AS you may have noticed I really like the imagery of Soderberghs Che. It’s fully done with (I think) two R1.

There is a great story over at postproduction.digitalmedianet.com studying the Workflow of Che. Nice to see how the big boys play with the Software and run around the limitations that every wannabe filmmaker is crying about.

And as I work mostly like Soderbergh (well, maybe not that good, I mean with Display attached and doing my own camerawork) I really like what he says about the/his R1 at MovieCityIndie:

And, just for a further reading here’s another Site at the Filmmakermagazine.com about the Workflow with the Red and at Che in special.

Have Fun with your Weekend Read
