Motion pictures shot on film, for instance, will generally be shot on the same film stock unless there are artistic reasons for shooting portions on a different stock. It's not always that one is "bad" and the other "good": intercutting from multiple sources is inherently problematic and is generally avoided.Eddie Offermannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06623099205868431744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5440356262362331873.post-67816489958985538282008-06-30T13:53:00.000-05:002008-06-30T13:53:00.000-05:00I think it's red-iculous to think that the image q...I think it's red-iculous to think that the image quality was excellent, and then they didn't use it.<BR/><BR/>There are still serious problems with that camera, otherwise it would have been used.<BR/><BR/>ALUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15939069195397487679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5440356262362331873.post-36665567386083400372008-06-28T10:08:00.000-05:002008-06-28T10:08:00.000-05:00Agreed.

Consistency between 35mm and HD has always been an issue, especially in cameras that only shoot 1080p (wow, doesn't it feel weird to say "only 1080p?). While the RED has a lot of the resolution, and a lot of the depth of field going for it, ultimately, the image may just have not matched up, whether it be grain or color balance, or whatever. <BR/><BR/>I never saw "Jumper", so that would have been a chance to see some RED footage up on the big screen. Guess we'll have to wait for Soderbergh's upcoming films, since "Wanted" is out of the mix.Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07295190723834950407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5440356262362331873.post-42230711442651939542008-06-28T09:45:00.000-05:002008-06-28T09:45:00.000-05:00Sounds like a consistency issue - while the qualit...Sounds like a consistency issue - while the quality of the Red images was excellent, it may have been a bit too clean.<BR/><BR/>A friend recently rented a Red kit for a project he was shooting - he had many of the same things to say that were listed in the text you quoted, especially as regards the dynamic range.Eddie Offermannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06623099205868431744noreply@blogger.com
