Great Wooden Boats: RED EPIC

[shane8109]

Great looking video and great topic

[ReflexEight]

No 4K? Awwwww...

[stevenlattaDP]

I'm sick of RED footage. Very artificial color reproduction. It doesnt matter if its 4k or 40k or 400k. The Alexa wipes the floor with it and it is 2k. RED MX is even worse.

[MrNuun]

@stevenlattaDP I'm sure you know more about it than me.. But have you ever shot anything with a RED camera? Have you ever colored it? There's so many posibilities with the images you get out of them.. I don't think it's the camera you might not like.. It's also about the colorer behind it if you talk about artificial color reproduction.. IMO it might not exceed the Alexa but it sertainly doesn't get wiped down by an Alexa.

[stevenlattaDP]

@MrNuun I understand what you mean but a camera has an inherent ability to reproduce the colors it is filming before grading. I have shot and colored a good deal with RED (RED ONE, MX, and EPIC). The way RED samples color is very much inferior to Alexa. Sacrificing resolution (which beyond 2K is essentially beyond the human eye. Arri understood this and thus left it at 2K) Arri put dual photo receptors on each pixel. As such its color is much closer to your eye than RED and much more natural.

[MrNuun]

@stevenlattaDP I get your point.. And yes, I've seen the Great Camera Shootout. I must agree.. On the color test in the still life part the Alexa was superior. However I do believe that those extra pixels you get in 5K give it that unique quality. And I can see why you appreciate those extra thoughts into the Alexa more than with RED cameras. However you should agree that the general audience does not appreciate it as much. And so directors and DPs choose image quality over color precision.

@MrNuun Watch Zacuto's Great Camera Shootout 2011

[sterlingz]

Absolutely beautiful, Phillip. One of your best.

[prorobo]

This mini-doc could be about cleaning bird poop yet it'd still be amazing thanks to Red and great editing. This is wicked awesome.

[XKillaScoutX]

You are amazing. Amazing short film! Keep doing what you do, because we all love it :)

[MrStuPhil]

For an off-the-cuff mini-documentary that you shot on holiday this is incredible. what lenses did you use?

[VisuaLMagiK]

I was told in school that you can't be the Director and DP at the same time. Is that true?

[MrStuPhil]

@VisuaLMagiK The gods of filmmaking forbid it.

[ThisguyQuake]

Nice short, errol morris would be proud.

[YoussefAbdelmohsen]

Hey philip I'm just commenting again to congratulate you and to tell you that I'm very excited to see Red Tails, I heard the news from Film Riot. I heard that you were the camera adviser in unit B! I can't wait to see that movie just because you filmed in it.

[gymshoe17]

Def one of your best vids, Phil you blessed lucky bastard, living the dream.

[jasedotcom]

Honestly, a 5D looks the same on the web.

[philipbloom]

@jasedotcom a 5d cannot do 300fps

[justinsuperstar]

@philipbloom AGREED

[Riztuud]

@jasedotcom epic has better dynamic range

[MrStuPhil]

@jasedotcom I disagree. I watched it @ 1080p and the detail and color are noticeably better.

[nintendocrew]

That was amazing :)

I really just loved it, further than just the beautiful shots, it was made and composed perfectly

[RudyJimenez86]

I wonder what the owner of the boat company, mike, thought of this film.

[eaglevp]

Great video really enjoyed watching

[pedrosttau]

I can't get my head around why this video moved me. thanks Phil.

[Ayle28]

Beautiful as always Philip, unfortunately RED is a company that we can’t trust, the products are good but the company not !! paid for a viewfinder has been two years now, i’m still on backoreder. You pay but they don’t deliver.

My advise: GO TO ARRI ALEXA. ARRI RELABLE COMPANY

[evzeeland]

Wow, great images and nice colors!!

[roughrider119]

Great work Phillip.

[TheAbsurdity101]

Sexxy VID mate love your work, would love to learn from a pro like you

[atthetopofmyvoice]

Beautiful, generic images.

[judutchinski]

Cool, looks awesome as always Phillip

[Skapo]

Impeccable work! Always a pleasure seeing a new vid from you.

[ShakeAndBakeGuy]

This was beautifully shot. As always. Nice!

But why do you shoot flat on RED even though its RAW? I saw on your BTS that the original footage was flat. Doesn't shooting RAW make it easier to bring back the shadows and details?

[lwj033]

Philip is macho

[judutchinski]

@lwj033 - sluuurp, sluurp... sluuurp. Lol

[bucbill1775]

Philip, HUGE fan. Wondering: Would you like to sell me your RED EPIC for like $200?? lawljk

[antonseim]

Great video. Did you upload the same file to both Vimeo and YouTube? It seems to look a little better on Vimeo, even with the 1080 turned on, on YouTube.

[STRIKETOBURN1]

Amazing as always, I was just in South Haven over the weekend and fell in love with the place! Would love to see some of the shots of the light house and dunes with the Epic... Maybe next time?

[Getawaymoments]

nice, love the first portrait shot.

[IchiDeux]

Red is so "Epic"

[oletheking92]

Why not 4K? Youtube can handle 4K, cant it?

[rydeen18]

@oletheking92 I don't think it would look any better than 1080p considering all the compression is goes through anyway. All in all, probably a waste.

[robojot]

@oletheking92 i dont think 4k works at 300 fps...

[rhyskallen]

@oletheking92 i think it only supports 2k witch is the original setting

[BZLProductions]

Fantastic video Philip! I still liked the Alexa better though. How do you think the two cameras compare?

[aarontainter]

Whenever I watch one of your films, no matter what mood I am in, they always seem to put a smile on my face. Thanks Philip! :D

[MPDfilms]

better on vimeo.

[mp4podcastDOTcom]

Nice little film. Thanks for making this Philip:)

[TheOrfordonian]

Great story telling. Best video I've seen from you.

[YoussefAbdelmohsen]

OMG YESS!!! NEW PHILIP BLOOM VIDEO!!!! btw philip I wanna ask you a question about cinematography? What is the best way to contact you? I wanna know how you do the pan while doing a timelapse at the same time! pleeeease answer this! I am a huge fan of you and you inspire me cause it's very close to what I do too!

[philipbloom]

@YoussefAbdelmohsen you either get a motorised head like a kessler one...a cheap motorised telescope one or do it in post!

[YoussefAbdelmohsen]

@philipbloom :)ah thank you!

[NitsanPictures]

Love this video Philip!

@YoussefAbdelmohsen

I've done a timelapse on a slider by pushing it forward with my hand millimeter by millimeter for 4 minutes to get a 9 second shot.. not perfect but usable and not bad for a first try. (search for 2K or timelapse on my channel)

-So i suppose you can do the same with just a tripod head.

or google: egg timer timelapse

that's a really cheap DIY solution to do this sort of timelapse pan. Just found one ready made on ebay for £20 for a gopro..

[YoussefAbdelmohsen]

@NitsanPictures Yeah I already did it, I did i using After Effects in post production, check my latest video, you'll see it come in at 0:54

[coolHKkidd88]

like idk what to say, your work is amazingly good :) keep it up

[MaybeChrisRob]

this is....EPIC

[3nimal]

ahhh, looks great. such neutral yet wonderfully eye-pleasing feel to the image...

[timholdsworth1]

Amazing
