Wanna see Red footage shot at 120fps? And more Red news 

As of last Thursday night, all Red Ones can shoot 120fps. Wanna see? Of course you do.

: )

I've got a little sample posted over at ProVideoCoalition, as well as some of the details of the new build's features. Some coooool ones. Go read! Now. Cuz I sedd so.

: )

There is also Art Adams' Red One Lattitude Tests, which clearly illustrates the differences between shooting under tungsten or daylight lighting conditions on the daylight optimized Mysterium sensor. CTB is your FRIEND to get the red, green, and blue histograms to line up nicely, and not have the red channel clip early.

Art also has articles about Red up discussing the mixed blessings of "I never knew how much processing cameras did for me, until I used a camera that didn’t do any." (opinions vary on to how good a thing this is - I relish it as a post weenie who likes to tweak things to the nth degree to get best results)

Art and Adam Wilt in Discussing RED, uncensoRED - they both start wrapping their heads around the nitty gritty of RAW image processing, Redcine, ramifications of daylight vs. tungsten lighting. I didn't chime in as I was in transit during that conversation, but a lot of stuff going on in there for the techies.

...and some others in the Stunning Good Looks by Art Adams category of PVC. Art is digging into some of the differences between Red and traditional cameras - I like a lot of those differences.

UPDATE - Be sure to check this out too - workflow software for Red from a third party. Expect LOTS more in the future.

Red One FTW! Maybe I can watch you use it when I come to LA.

And congrats on the move to Los Angeles. Best of luck.
 
After Art Adams' tests, we decided we needed to do some bluescreen tests with the RED for our first RED shoot.

Yeah, it was noiser under tungsten.

But you know what?

You could still key i... and we're still adding grain to the final images to give them more texture.

So... its a bit of a non issue.
