Well the recent events didnt stop Red.. In fact it didn't even slow them down. It actually gave Jim some time to create an incredible new color matrix, and the results are pretty stunning.

Here is a chart straight off the camera this morning with only Jim's matrix applied.. no levels color correction etc.

There is a digital Macbeth integrated to the JPG so you can compare.

Oh! There it goes again. God bless those pacemakers!

Great work Jim and thanks Jarred for posting this!
 
Are you kidding me? I'm no pro, but my eyes don't lie... and that looks pretty on-the-money to me.

The hits just keep on coming. Thanks you guys.
 
Color looks great, I also like the DOF on the bg and the metal stand, seems to me to tell us alot more than some of the stills of the car/women etc.

Keep em coming, looking sweet!
 
Wow

Wow

Ok, that's incredible. The only thing that I can tell is that it's representing all the colors a tiny, tiny bit warmer–which is actually the better direction to go, IMHO.
 
:thumbup: Cor Blimey Guv'nor. That's a beauty and no mistake!

Wow. So nice it made me go pseudo-Cockney, and I ain't no Cockney!

(BTW, what is it with the stupid bowties and tweed jackets that us Brits are supposed to wear in all American films with a UK setting, not to mention the red buses and telephone boxes which are in every shot! It gets a bit annoying).
 
Here is a composite of the charts, for easier comparison. The synthetic targets are the small superimposed squares.
Remeber that both charts must be viewed in a color aware application (like photoshop) as they are in the Adobe RGB 1998 colorspace.

Composited chart

It's looking very good already!
 
When you have both the input and output values, it seems to me to be just a matter of solving the equations rather than tweaking?

Edit: Just tried to solve for the equation [r, g, b, rr, gg, bb, rg, gb, br, rgb, rrr, ggg, bbb, rrg, rrb, ggb, ggr, bbr, bbg, 1]*A=[RGB]' (it was what I could come up with, but maybe the log-colorspace should be used). That got the (min, max, mean, median) distance between the 24 colors down from (0.0077, 0.1419, 0.0462, 0.0466) to (0.0008, 0.0194, 0.0087, 0.0089), which is nice, but also introduced some ugly artifacts in the yellow, lime and light orange.

Must be nice to be able to just hang around the RED offices all day... :-P

Looks amazing, Jim. The news from your camp just gets better and better.
 
Thanks for that, Anders. We've put some tweaks into the REDCINE and should be getting much better matches pretty soon. The other thing, is that there's a contrast curve on the image Jim made, which may account for the level, rather than the chroma differences you're seeing, in greyscale tracking for instance.

thanks for the composition.. nice to see the overlay.

just to let you know, since posting this image, Graeme has made some revolutionary tweaks that has made the two even closer..
 
Truth be known, I would be handcuffed without Graeme. He is providing tools that make this a lot easier. Certainly is a lot of fun, though.

Sounds intriguing--just what is a "revolutionary tweak"?:thumbup:
