Hi everyone,
The movie industry is also in deep discussion about color, imaging and
how they will be continuing the transition from film to all-digital
work flows.
One of the most progressive of the movers in the movie world is the
Red Camera company.
In conjunction with Apple and others, Red has developed a Camera Raw
work flow and a set of matching technologies for making very-high-
resolution digital video for film.
And, by using a Camera Raw work flow, the company empowers filmmakers
to work at proxy resolutions, to apply post-camera color correction,
and to apply creativity to the interpretation of what the sensor "saw"
during filming.
This breaks with all traditional filmmaking work flows, and opens the
movie industry to having the same discussions we are having with still
digital photography.
The folks who have developed the Red One camera, and its siblings Epic
and Scarlet (go to red.com) threw out all the conventional ideas of
how cameras should see images, and started from scratch. Their
products are truly disruptive technologies, and they will change the
process of movie making forever.
They are right here, right now, having the same discussions about
color, characterizing the sensor, and translating the resulting
imagery into "accurate" or other interpretations of the scene.
For the movie industry, though, there is the dimension of time, which
in today's terms translates into massive storage challenges.
I have been watching and waiting for Red to deliver their Scarlett
camera for commercial and documentary video. It will be extraordinary,
and it will work in Camera Raw.
And, when Epic is released in a year or two, there will be a
groundswell in the movie business. Many more production movies will
move to all-digital video, as the barriers to very-high-resolution
digital filmmaking will have come down.
