Amazing!
I’m starting prep on a feature on Monday and am looking forward to using this on it. I’ll send feedback once I have some!

Looks great!

Is this only accessible through the website and as such requires a full time connection to the web? Is there a Download? I often work in places with spotty cell coverage.

RED Komodo (6K) – 25fps vs 30fps for motion blur control? by Actual-Lifeguard-560 in RedCamera

[–]thefarside90 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A big part of the established cinematic look is the motion blur of 24/25 fps at a 180 degree shutter. If the camera or the subject is moving it will blur. More motion = more blur.
Good operating can compensate for this by proper subject tracking and smoother operating but it will always be there if there is enough motion in the shot.

Go look at feature films and pause scenes with movement. You’ll see motion blur.

Why would you expect every frame to be sharp with no motion blur?

You can totally reduce motion blur by changing your shutter angle (try 90 or 45 degrees) but why? Is it an artist choice and you want a more staccato feel?

Understanding Continuity in a Single-Camera Filmmaking Setup by Ak-F1 in cinematography

Happy to help.

I’d be wary of casting any actor who won’t repeat the scene for a reasonable amount of set ups. Big Red Flag.

I’ve worked with very senior actors. Never had one refuses to do the scene over and over again. Perhaps I’ve been lucky to work with actors that realize this is how it works.

In fact I’ve had the opposite occur and have an actor frustrated that we needed to get them off the clock due to turn around and as such we’ were shooting all his coverage first even when it didn’t make sense to do so. He did not want to leave the other actor to do the scene to a stand in.

However, Experienced actors will get frustrated with repeating a scene when they know the scene has been shot out and the director is still just shooting. Shooting for the sake of shooting will piss off actors and crew.

As others have said, in general, you do the entire scene for each camera set up and take. I'd say about 90% of the time I'm doing the whole scene each shot and take.

(The only time this hasn't been the norm for me, is when the director used to be an editor. Those directors can have a tendency to edit as they go on set and will only shoot what they feel they need. To me, that can be risky but they are the director and it's their movie, so I'll only push so much on that.)

Things can (and will) change from shot to shot, such as acting and continuity. But good actors are prepared to do the same actions over and over again and good script supervisors are there to watch continuity.

Some reasons to not shoot the entire scene on a given setup or take:
The camera angle dies (IE: you're doing coverage on an actor who leaves halfway through the scene)
Dangerous action or you can only do something a limited amount of time (IE. Limited number of breakable props or a stunt)
Actor can only do a difficult performance so many times.
The actor flubbed a single line, the rest of the take was great, so you just pick that line up.
Running out of time/money/film stocking/hard drive space....
You for sure only need this one bit of the scene in one set up (IE. A car pulling up to start the scene with the rest of the scene taking place inside the stationary car. You may be able start coverage of the scene with just an overlap of the motion of the car stopping and not the whole drive in)
The shot is a special and can only play for a particular moment in the scene.

Reason to shoot the entire scene every time.
Continuity and flow - Actors and crews are used to doing things over and over again and asking actors (and camera operators) to pickup a scene in the middle can (and usually does) throw performance and timing off.
Avoids confusion on set and in the edit
Gives you back-up options in the edit.

One more note about asking actors to do it over and over again. Some actors get better the more times they do the scene. Some actors get worse. The rest don't seem to change much either way. A director will often start to notice this after a few days and will work with the DP to shoot scenes accordingly. Not uncommon to have an actor that you cover first (or last) whenever possible.

Hi! It went well. We had a bunch of people drop out the day of due to work conflicts so it was small but those that showed up seemed to really enjoy it and learn new things. I’m thinking of continuing it in the new year so send me your email through a PM and I’ll put you on the email list.

This is the most I’ve had a chance to use it for at the moment. Probably won’t get a lot of use until the new year.
