Red compression and matrix tests

Sure, but that's half the fun isn't it? Don't worry, it's not just you, it's Jim and the rest of the team that I tease too!

Was keying in AE in the 4k film comp settings and I just had to point and click, nothing was a problem. I saw all the detail in the mesh trash can and no color bleeding of the greenscreen. This is awesome!

BTW, I've radically improved REDCODE since those were done...

On the side note and related to the RED's camera: If the matrix is change/modify to allow for more dynamic range, then would the gamma curve be more compressed as a trade-off?

We're not changing matrix or gamma curve to get more DR - we're doing some voodoo sensor magic. I think "matrix" was just a turn of speach.

Graeme,
Jim said you made a significant "discovery" today. Care to enlighten us??

Speach?? Is there a fundamental difference between modifying the matrix and doing some 'voodoo sensor magic'?

This is fun. It's wretched and took about 4 minutes, but the key is stunning at 4K. One click, one slider and it's clean as hell. A little tweaking and color work [and a background that isn't old, poorly lit and matches] and some amazing stuff could be possible.

I'm so excited. I just threw a second green screen image into the same tree and got the second [coffee] image.

WOW! Brook, that looks great.
I'm so excited to play with this new camera, but I doubt I can light things as nicely as a Pro gaffer.

Thanks for the e-mail help, you've been responsive and knowledgable. Whatever you or the RED's team do to the sensor, DR to me is very important, as I'm doing lots of scene that I have no control of the lighting.
