Outdoor Shot showing Dynamic Range

"Here is a good general dynamic range shot showing both the sky and underneath the trees/foliage that are in the shadows. Shots like this can be pretty hard to get decent contrast in without adding some light for the street, which they didn't do. So you can see pretty deep into the shadows, but also get good detail in the sky and the moutains beyond which would generally be a lot brighter since you're catching those direct rays from the sun."

I have pulled a matte using Combustion+Ultimatte. That was the best matte I have ever pulled. But I have to admit that I have never worked with HD before.

(just for the case to any abusive reader.. :grin:)
 
I agree. I'm sure and believe this Mini will rock...

...but where are you? This and the other forums are worth of it.
 
Sorry Emanuel... I thought everyone was preoccupied looking at images on other forums ;-) .

We are busy preparing a presentation for Paul Otellini.

I think each forum has its own place. I am pretty sure everybody is keeping an eye on everybody. Just waiting to hear good news. :)
 
There is a place for all. The Silicon Mini, for instance, will be an unique product without similar competition. Where's a small HD (maybe 2k we hope) camera like this one? Still, available from now?

This week Intel announced its partnership with Silicon Imaging and CineForm to optimize the use of Intel processors for video and cinema content creation in resolution and data rates which surpass HD.

During the keynote address by David (Dadi) Perlmutter, Senior Vice President General Manager, Mobility Group the Silicon Imaging Mini and CineForm workflow were used to highlight the next generation Core 2 Duo platform. A trailer from "Spoon", edited by emmy-award winning Tim Kolb, was shown to the audience during the presentation.

More coverage with Intel is expected around the world at upcoming IDF events:

Czech Republic, Prague October 4
India, Bangalore October 10-11
Taiwan, Taipei October 16-17
Israel, Tel Aviv October 30

Trivia: The SI Mini is now being used to shoot content for a feature film with more special effects shots than Superman Returns. What production is it?

Silicon Imaging and IRIDAS Develop New Color Workflow

Silicon Imaging and IRIDAS Develop New Color Workflow


For those of you who are subscribed to this specific thread, I have copied the post from Jason Rodriguez:

http://www.iridas.com/press/pr/20061025.html


I'm excited, and really, this is big news because it means our camera is now a complete "blank slate" for you to make whatever color adjustments you want, load that into the camera, and have complete color management from the camera head through post.

Nothing like this exists anywhere on the planet. There is no camera on the market that can take 3D LUT's and use them as the native colorimetry of the camera, shoot with that 3D LUT, and manage it as non-destructive meta-data all the way through post. You're typically either constrained to the annoying confines of the on-board matrix and colorimetry of the camera, or you can do the 3D LUT technology using the Iridas toolset, but you have to preview the look on a monitor that can use 3D LUT's, like an expensive Cinetal, or something of that nature.

Speedgrade On-set has some amazing tools to create any color-look you can imagine . . . virtual film-stocks, etc. If you don't like the way the camera looks, make it look like *anything* you want! Seriously!

The reason I say this is because 3D LUT's map one set of RGB triplets to another set of RGB triplets. As a result, a single 3D LUT can model absolutely ANY non-linear color correction, be it gamma correction, curves, saturation, selective color corrections, etc. Also our implementation of IRIDAS's 3D LUT's are completely non-destructive, meaning that if you clip the whites in the 3D LUT, but there's still "over-white" information, you can simply dial that information back in during post correction in a 32-bit floating point environment.

We're going to be packaging a bunch of generic looks with the camera to-do stuff like bleach bypasses, wide-Leeds range stuff, low-con looks, etc.

There'll be more information coming out soon, but we just wanted you all to be aware of the exciting new developments happening. We've been quiet, but we've been working hard :)
