Who wants to bet that RED will release a new camera that wasn’t already in the pipeline from before Nikon bought them?

It's complex I think. First, with so many shows going LF, there's less of an overall market for a S35 camera. Other LF options also tend to do a bit better in low light though I don't think it's as much as the box says but I digress. So even less of a market with some choosing different...

I heard from a rental house that they drastically changed their pre-order when the strikes happened and Arri kind of ignored the signs and kept building cameras that they didn't have orders for. So they ended up with something like 1500 cameras sitting on the shelf. And when you think the...

Wasn't the first version of Sony RAW, the one on the F55, always able to be processed in Resolve? I thought that was always the case. And it's fixed 3:1 DCT based 16 bit lin. And THEN they later went to a wavelet style for X-OCN which is basically recode in a SONY package because they did an...

There are very few directors that get to make five or more successful movies. None of us have done it. So I cut these old guys some slack. FFC backed himself and spent his own money. Good for him. Nobody talking about Joker 2 tanking with a larger budget and a whole studio with them? Who...

Swing and a big miss for me. I mean hats off to him for blowing his children's inheritance on this very personal political art statement film. It felt like him trying to do a shaekspearean take on the current political direction in the US by drawing parallels of the fall of the Roman Empire...

I just need to hone in on this. I’m not sure you realize how bizarre a statement like this is. I can’t believe anyone that calls themselves a DP would be so disrespectful as to not read a script for a project they have committed to working on. Paid or unpaid. It’s a basically courtesy you...

In many pro grading suites they light the surround of the monitor and paint the surface a neutral grey. Your eyes have an ability to auto white balance and you can’t turn it off. So staring at a deeply saturated red image for a while and you start to not see the red anymore. If you’re...

I’ve seen a few articles talking about using A.I polluted data leading to worse A.I results. This article has an excellent example using handwritten letters. After 60 generations it basically leads to all the letters being the same non-letter. The A.I equivalent of brown paint when you mix...

Or maybe they hate people like you with a sense of entitlement demanding to share techniques they've developed themselves? Maybe you're one of hundreds of people that ask questions about a piece of equipment like that that's all that being a DP is about? Have you noticed that the vast...

No it's not really. At most someone is better at prompting than someone else. There's an argument I guess that taste is what filters the results and then arguably it's still a Human authored work because it's dependent on who or what is being typed and iterated. It's not really free either...

It’s the manipulation of many highly technical processes in service of a creative outcome. The audience also doesn’t care how you “made” the image. They don’t know what processes you went through, what conversations you had. They do hopefully have an emotional reaction to it. They like...

What a mess. For sure an injustice on top of injustice. What a shame. Sad really that no one is held to account for an entirely preventable death.

IA will not strike. A deal is all but done. But I’m not so sure about the teamsters. They do have an appetite to strike.

You’re talking about a film camera. The XL2 is the most recent Panavision made iteration. Film cameras essentially aren't as affected by technology. They are a light tight box that moves film. Some are lighter. Some go faster. Some have a more steady gate movement. But they ae the pinnacle...
