Yes, this is great. One professional talking to another, no bullshit.

I wish there were more insightful interviews like this. I love this interview format.

@rapist41 From what I've seen shot on RED the color's look desaturated and dull. The RED is a toy compared to something like the Alexa or Genesis. However, I'm still a film guy, but none of the modern stocks impress me. I had to get a company in Europe to make me film stock because I feel the stocks now are trying too hard to look digital or clean when honestly I don't feel that's what film should look like.

@Andybato That is up to the director's talent and shooting ratio. If you need 100 takes for one scene...the problem isn't with the format.

[MrFTW733]

there should be one like this with Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu and Guillermo Del Toro. just a thought

[sharpshooter6666]

one person is an idiot

[Andybato]

@rapist41 Hmm, Imax film is good. I never thought of that =O

[rapist41]

@Andybato WELL,THE RED ONE IS THE BEST DIGITAL CAMERA SINCE IT MIMICKS 35 AND I PARTLY AGREE WITH YOU ALTHOUGH DIGITAL FALLS FAR FROM 70MM IMAX FILM

the red scarlet is coming out soon for 6,000 and its very small, also shoots in 2k, 4k, and 8k

REALLY frustrating not having which number i'm on in the title

[KnivesMonroe]

Wow... I am such a fucking nerd. I loved every second of this.

@rapist41 But actual film is getting harder to find and are quite expensive. Of course all the classic movies are are recorded film. I just think digital cinematography is just a simple way, at least for aspiring, talented flimmakers, to buy it so they can experiment with what films they want to make, rather than having to spend more money on films that they've wasted, you know?
