The Red One rules!

Wrong-o.

Same res as 35mm film scanned at 4k. Not 70mm (I.E. IMAX) film.

The reason that most things are shot on film is because people are afraid to change. This RED camera IS better then film in some places--and some places film still succeeds. However, RED and the rest of the digital cinema camera manufacturers are quickly catching up. Now, if RED meets it's timeslot, by next year we will have 28k Large Format cinematography. I would like you to come back then and still say that it is a "WIP"

@bobaandy lol.

awesome

film is so superior to digital except in shooting low light conditions, serious cinematographers need to get over this in the same way that we have for the past century- by being good at lighting, or having balls like kubrick and getting a bloody nasa lens. More cinematographers are too afraid to learn to shoot in film. your job is to make the film look as good as possible, and the only thing with enormous capabillities is film. people need to stop writing off film as a dying form.

the red one is great for having to shoot in digital. the reasons for continuing to shoot in film are well known and obvious. it is not because people are afraid to change, it is because it looks better in every way. Tell me if you noticed much difference between the opening of dark knight and the rest of the film, because it was shot on 35mm.

@surferboy36O the response to brightness and colour, the textures, the naturalistic look is just unreproducible. This all is because film is a analog and non linear recording media, and an electronic sensor and circuitry cannot replicate its behaviour.

[surferboy36O]

@bobaandy The spacial resolution of film is ENORMOUS and in cinema it is more the scanning resolution that counts because it is muche less than the film itself. Film latitude is also huge, being a photographer I know about this, several times when I thought a picture was lost, with proper developing you can salvage an excellent image. I wouldn't know any numbers to compare with the EPIC, and of course digital can be lighter and more convenient, but I know no digital media has the film look-->>

[bobaandy]

@surferboy36O Speaking about the EPIC camera out currently, it has a higher resolution, higher dynamic range (with HDRx) and a longer recording and run time then film. All in a tiny package the size of a Hasselblad.

[surferboy36O]

I don't think this is just a matter of resolution or latitude, or even price or convenience. If you are a true artist, director, or whatever, if you have the spirit of a CREATOR, the only thing that is important is the final product, doesn't matter how you ahicved it. As much as I like technology/digital stuff, etc., I personally believe nothing compares to the look film gives, and that is it, an electronic sensor is another type of technology and it will never be the same as film, --->>
