Posted in 24P, Canon, Canon EOS 1D Mark IV, Indie filmmaking, LaForet, Red Camera, Red Epic, Scarlet, cinematography, photography on Tuesday, 20 October 2009, 1:29 pm | 3 Comments »

Canon (and Vincent LaForet) have done it again. LaForet shot another brilliant little short movie at night on Canon’s (unexpectedly) about-to-be-released EOS 1D Mark IV in the worst lighting conditions he could find in LA–using NO lights (other than streetlights) at ASA 6400. The results are amazing. It looks like a Hollywood movie that a [...]

A brilliant, beautiful, slow-burning, disturbing film. Ceylan comes from a still photography background and the cinematography is painterly, evocative and stunning. [...]

Ted Schilowitz on how to expose with Red: “Two Cameras In One”

Posted in ASA, Indie filmmaking, Red Camera, cameras, cinematography, exposure, high dynamic range on Saturday, 25 April 2009, 4:27 pm | 1 Comment »

Excellent post a couple weeks ago from Ted Schilowitz on “how to expose with Red”. Succinct and excellent. Neatly fleshes out some gut impulses I had, based on empirical evidence (aka actually shooting a lot with Red): I’m explaining to people on a pretty regular basis that the RED is kind of like 2 cameras [...]

[UPDATE, 20 April, 8am: added some thoughts on post-production as P.S. at the end of this post] OK, so this is admittedly subjective but here are three about-to-be-released things that will create a lot of buzz at NAB–which I’m likely to buy for my budding boutique indie feature film studio here in Hong Kong: Red [...]

PCam is now available from the Apple iTunes Store (including outside the U.S.). It’s not cheap (US$39.99). But it’s excellent. And now it’s been updated with all Red data. It’s from David Eubanks, a First Camera Assistant in LA. I was alerted to this update from my friend and cinematographer, Roman Baska. I’m downloading now…
