[Konvas] Finally shot with Red camera

[Camak, Lael (US - MGTTS)]

Just coming off a 2 day shoot with the Red camera.  Rap music video with
green screen, low light night scenes in an alley, and some high glossey
interior scenes.  Camera performed amazingly and was THE star of the
shoot amongst the crew.  Of course it had my Lomo primes on it, but I
was floored with the images it produced.  

You could pile up a ping pong table with cow manure, light it ok and it
would look like a bed of roses.

Had only a couple of playback problems that I think are being addressed
in the cameras next firmware update.  Had another card problem where the
media wasn't read, but by the end of the shoot I think it was error on
the operator (me) extracting the cards improperly.

I'm not posting it, but I'll get some screen grabs maybe next week.

One thing.  I've shot lots of film before, but of course couldn't see
any close-to-final images on the set.  Whenever I couldn't find a crew
member, on THIS shoot they were hovering around the IMac viewing footage
instead of the craft services table.  It was amazing how the instant
feedback affected the crew.  

I know the short fall of this camera is bright outside sunshine so I'll
have to look at that when I can.  Didn't need any on this shoot.

All the best, 
lael
