fuzzynormal Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Hey man, what do you think you got out of that camera that you would't have gotten from a f35? Just curious how things are evolving/have evolved over the past handful of years. I appreciate the color grade on that piece, BTW. Cheers.

Ed_David Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 just able to do 100 FPS slow motion . But it was a toss up - if we didn't need to overcrank on a few scenes I would have gone F35. Better highlight handling and skintones rendition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronChicago Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Looks amazing. I love the look of RED with grain added as you've done. Ed_David 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinegain Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Grain? Grain of salt. That looked more like digital noise to upset the pixel peepers.Thanks Julian, for posting the intended final version as well. Looked great. Slowmo was pretty epic.

Ed_David Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 Yes it's actually good to see my stab at coloring and the version Anh put up - amongst other things - yes grain is a decision I looked at a lot - I went back and forth a lot about whether to add some grain and it helps with the stuff at 100 FPS and the stuff at 30 FPS and 48 FPS - to connect it all together more seamlessly - I also added a bunch of secondary color correction to help smoothe together all the scenes and play with the sun - which was interesting because it's Winter Sun, which is quite fascinating, Also worked with saturation from the outdoors and inside and by messing around found a less jarring schematic would be warm/cold vs saturated vs desaturated for exteriors. Was interesting and challenging to play with the conventions of the imagery to the poetry - to try to find a connection thru color to make seamless - I found it quite enjoyable!

Nikkor Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 what lenses? Any vignetting problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_David Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 We used the 16, 40, and 85mm arri ultra prime lenses. Nope, no Vignetting. I added some to a few shots for stylistic reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 About to release a film shot on the Red One MX that through coloring no one will notice if it was shot on the red dragon or alexa or anything - it's just a matter of really figuring out how to color and light and compose - that's the biggest thing.

Ed_David Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 exactly - that was the experiment. But because of lawsuits, I had to admit rather quickly it was red one mx. Red's lawyers are fast! Julian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.f.r. Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Not a fan of the color grade, framing and burnt highlights. Also the handheld look takes away from the production value imo. Ed_David 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volker Schmidt Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 It´s all about the story, the talent and the mood which have been created by the makers - not the technique!Well done, Compliment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulf Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 omg, that's really great. and that's not an easy plot to shot imho.this is the true language of light and it is full of emotions and feelings (so there's no wonder you struggled when you are trying to discuss things in normal words like the rest of us :-) - you should better express yourself by shooting and shooting and shooting even more, the only grammar you ever should take into consideration are the flight of the photons))no, seriously, while I am not sure about the different gradings, at least they didn't disturb the view; your visual communication is very trained, sir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
