Albert Hughes on the RedOne
“We did a side by side test with a RED camera and an Arri 435 at the locations where the movie was to be shot. After processing and D.I., we did a film out and presented both sets of images to the producers. All picked the “shot on film” images on the right as the best ones. They were half right. It was the best footage, but the footage on the right was shot on RED, not film. Both Don Burgess and I were shocked that RED handled the actresses’ skin better than film. It had a creamy quality, more of an old style trick that dp’s used to use when they put pantie hose on the back of lenses. We are now one week into shooting and we couldn’t be happier with the look we are getting.” Albert Hughes.
