Music video shot on a RED EPIC and Lomo Anamorphics

pundit — Thu, 25 Sep 2014 08:19:46 +0000

Here's a music video I worked on about three months ago. I was gaffer/grip. The weather made things somewhat challenging and most of the small budget went on gear rental. Shot in under a day and a half. Make sure you view it in HD! ;)

Real Life Ridge Racer Short Film

eddavid — Thu, 28 Aug 2014 08:40:22 +0000

I shot this piece for Brennan on the Sony F55, BMP4k, Red Epic Dragon and Go Pro for Brennan Stasiewicz- using all camera's strengths to make a real life video game f1 race film. Kind of nutty.

The Raid 2: Berandal (BTS)

Manu4Vendetta — Tue, 22 Apr 2014 00:03:56 +0000

The first part (The Raid: Redemption) was a success acclaimed by critics and the public. A good thriller movie along with its low budget and as remembered; recorded with the Panasonic AG-AF100 and GH2 (presumably) as B-cam.

The second part was recorded with Red Epic, Red Scarlet and GoPro HD Hero 3. But interesting all the work that's involved in the actual realization.

EasyRig users listen up! Flowcine Gravity One for sale!

Tobsen — Thu, 22 May 2014 07:44:54 +0000

I am selling my hardly used Flowcine Gravity One including hardcase. It is in a very good condition.

It is a mechanical two-axis gimbal intended for use with the Easyrig. It can hold rigs up to 16kg (!!!) and doesn't require any batteries.

There is one scratch on te outside (see photos) that doesn't affect the performance of the gimbal. During transport, I accidently locked the screw that locks the axis - never do that! The screw bend and scratched the surface of the metal. I didn't replace the screw because it is basically not necessary for operating it.

Flowcine just released on upgrade for the bearings on the handle. This is highly recommended it you want even smoother operation!

The reason I am selling it is that I happened to not invest into an Easyrig, which I planned on for this Spring. Unfortunately, I had to cut costs somehwere :-(

The retail price in Germany is around 2450 Euro excl. VAT. Incl. VAT is a bit more than 2900 Euro. http://www.toneart-shop.de/flowcine-gravity-one-black.html

I would like to ask 2100 Euro incl. VAT. I think this is very reasonable for this condition.

Item is located in Bremen, Germany. Shipping not incl.

Consolidated Specs for Cinema Cameras with RAW

thepalalias — Thu, 22 Nov 2012 05:29:39 +0000

I went through the list of topics in Raw Cameras and did not see a list like this, so since I had been compiling some for the blog I posted today at http://www.pasadenapulse.net, I thought I would put them here so that others can add to it (and correct any errors that are statistically likely to have been added. :)

These cameras all have (or are slated to have soon) RAW recording capability in some form.

Max Horizontal Resolution

BMCC: 2.4K
Arri Alexa: 2.88K max horizontal resolution.
Sony FS-700: 4K expandable with 1.92K at release.
Sony F55: 4K max horizontal resolution (4096x2160).
Canon C500: 4K max horizontal resolution (4096x2960 RAW max).
Sony F65: Greater than 4K.*
Red One/Red One MX: 4.5K max horizontal resolution.
Red Scarlet: 5K max horizontal resolution (but 4K max horizontal resolution at 24/25/30P).
Red Epic: 5K max horizontal resolution.
Red Dragon: 6K max horizontal resolution. Unreleased.

*As for the Sony F65, I don't want to get into that can of worms. With it's 20MP sensor, let's just say "easily 4K, probably more in the future" but not get too far into it other than to say that the current recording format is 4K.

Cameras with Global Shutter

Sony F55

Max Framerates at 4K and Highest Resolution (with the color depth recorded)

BMCC: Cannot do 4K. Max 30P 12-bit log at 2.5K.
Arri Alexa: Cannot do 4K. Max 60P 12-bit log at 2.88K in 16x9 mode.
Red One MX: 30P 12-bit at both 4.5K and 4K.
Canon C500: 60P 10-bit at 4K.
Sony FS-700: Upcoming 60P at unspecified RAW bit-depth in 4K.
Sony F55: 60P 16-bit linear 4K.
Sony F65: 120P 16-bit linear 4K.
CMV12000: 90P 12-bit or 150P 10-bit at 4K.
Red Scarlet: 30P 16-bit at 4K. 12P at 5K.
Red Epic: 150P 16-bit at 4K. 120P 16-bit at 5K.
Red Dragon: Unknown 4K (expected to meet or exceed Red Epic at all framerates but guaranteed 120P at 5K). At least 85P 16-bit at 6K. Unreleased.

Native DR

Sony FS-700: Untested in RAW.
Red One (not MX): 11.3 stops official.
Canon C500: 12 stops official. (Though the highlight roll-off has been garnering praise)
BMCC: 13 stops official.
Red MX (as used in MX/Scarlet/Epic): 13.5 official. (Some sources measured at under 12 but I'm not invested in one measurement over the other).
Arri Alexa: 14 stops official.
Sony F55: 14 stops official.
Sony F65: 14 stops official.
Red Dragon: Over 15 stops official. Unreleased.

And of course, the Red Scarlet, Epic (and upcoming Dragon) support the HDRx mode that some people like and others do not, which is officially specified as increasing dynamic range to 18 stops (with a lot of caveats to go along with it).

GH2 holding its ground with Epic

ronmen — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 11:49:04 +0000

Hey guys, just thought you'd like to see some spots we shot on a Red Epic with a $40,000 Arri Alura 15.5 - 45mm lens and a GH2 with the Sanity 5 patch and a $100 Canon 85mm FD SSC prime lens. These are fairly low res files for web delivery but the high res footage looked great too. Here are the four spots:

The Epic was used for the wide and medium shots, the GH2 was used for the CU cutaways on the face and hands. I think the footage cuts very well. 'Just goes to show that you don't need to spend $100K on a camera package to get very nice results.

Driftwood Sedna q1 vs Red Epic 5k

woodybrando — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 14:19:30 +0000

Here's a comparison video between my friend's r3d EPIC and my gh2 with driftwood's sedna q1 hack. we're planning a feature and wondering if it'd b better to shoot on 3 gh2's or one EPIC.

first impressions were that the r3d footage made the gh2 footage look like I'd turned my contrast all the way up in the gh2 I couldn't believe how contrasty the gh2 footage looked in comparison. and I used smooth -2,-2,-2,-2

anyone have any experience using an ultra con filter to flatten the gh2 image?

also, noise @ 320 in the darks on the gh2 was pretty bad. about 2 times worse than the epic. maybe it was the iso bug we'll have to test again. or maybe i need to turn noise reduction up it was pretty much a dealbreaker as far as planning to use the current gh2 to make the feature

good news was sharpness was on par with the 5k image. In fact, I actually added sharpness to the epic footage to match the gh2.

is there anyway to flatten out the gh2 in the matrix?

UPDATE: turns out my friend's monitor was exaggerating the difference between the cameras. I color corrected, sharpened and denoised the clips to match each other. Check out the vid and let me know which u think is which:

and here's the evidence that it really is epic footage vs. gh2 footage

Old comparison

RED Epic versus Panasonic GH2 and GH2 looks sharper

GH2 is better than Red EPIC

tonalt — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 10:26:46 +0000

GH2 with the 35-100mm Zuiko lens can deliver a slightly better image sharpness at 1080p resolution on every than Red EPIC.

Official RED EPIC-X Camera starts shipping to lucky shooters with deep pockets!

chef — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 08:21:38 +0000

It's been almost two years since we first got a peek at the specs on RED's EPIC-X, and the 5K-shooting, is just now shipping out to customers. That's not terribly shocking considering the company's notoriously long development cycles and, if you ordered one, you should be too excited about getting a new toy to worry about how long it took to build. Lets just hope the first batch of folks to start capturing gorgeous footage with this thing!
