fuzzynormal Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 The old Red One MX - still a workhorse - forgotten piece of old tech that still gets a really beautiful imageShooting in Havana as Americans was not easy I still have a bunch of footage from 10 years ago that I shot when I was there. Glad you were able to get in under the wire, as it were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ebrahim Saadawi Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Shows how inaacurate skin tones can be suiting to the story/mood. I love the runing scene with strong back light, I had it in mind for a future project yet it's great to actually see. This is really inspiring, I think I am going to do a short based on that scene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzynormal Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Shows how inaacurate skin tones can be suiting to the story/mood. I'm still a bit flummoxed why highly accurate skin tone is such a priority for some people. Personally I view color as a variable that can and should be exaggerated. To each their own I guess.

Personally I view color as a variable that can and should be exaggerated. To each their own I guess. I think in this case he meant it as a compliment- you're both on the same page. What most of us want are cameras with accurate skin tones out of camera. From there we can more easily match cameras, have no surprises in post, and can tweak color for emotion (ending up no longer accurate/realistic and instead lending to the cinematic mood of the story). sudopera 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseywilsondp Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Shot my first feature on the one, it was a beast, but it certainly had a presence on set, something my tiny a7s can't quite compete with. Great image too, despite it's detractors.Anyways good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't run in that arena of higher levels of production. And I've never met a camera I've been unable to effectively utilize because of bad colors.Well, that's not true. I've used some pretty wonky JVC cameras.As for the RED1, there's still a reason it appeals to dudes like Mr. Davis and why they use 'em to make cool stories... But man is it slow! jcs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inazuma Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 These cameras are going for less than £2000 on eBay. I wonder what they'd be like compared to current -£2k cameras like the NX1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_David Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 These cameras are going for less than £2000 on eBay. I wonder what they'd be like compared to current -£2k cameras like the NX1I should do a test! I have both. ALso a A7s and f35. Why don't I stop being so lazy and do a test!!!!!!!!!! I think offhand I like the skin tones out of the nx1 more than my red one - non scientific testing. curious about highlight handling how they compare. and of course red one mx has much better rolling shutter. less jello. so that's pretty big. but it's also a big beast and takes 2 minutes to boot up!

Rails, cables, mag readers... lens mount depending on your glass... Price goes up quickly (lots of proprietary stuff like the mags). But I'd probably buy one over a few other sub 10k cameras if I had 8-12k to spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
