Other: Color science - short history by Art Adams

Bless Art and his complete dismissal of MX sensor Reds. I know he and Jim Jannard had a falling out but that segment really seems to come from someone who didn't get to grips with the tool he was using and then blamed the tool, when there is/was amazing work being shot on MX with great tones. Yes, even stuff shot under ungelled tungsten.

That said the piece was interesting. Would love to read more on the aesthetic qualities of different stocks over the decades if such an article exists?
 
Haha who hasn't had a falling out with dear old Jim?

Personally I have always felt RED to be more "filmic" than some of its brothers and sisters, and that would have a lot to do with the fact that RED was always after "film" and it's characteristics from the start.

They've done a great job overall not withstanding some wrenches thrown in now and then.
 
I agree. Image quality and richness and skin tones were never the issues when I owned a Red and in the end the only reason I sold was a financial one as everyone wanted Dragon and I couldn't afford to upgrade. They can on occasion get a bit prickly when you question any of their design or marketing decisions :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)

Also I believe Redcolor 3 and Redgamma 3 were revised colour sciences/gamma curves for MX sensors (although backwards compatible), just like Dragoncolor/Redgamma4 were for Dragon sensors.
