  1. Well, $100 under such promotion now... Yeah, it would be nice to check your input for the subject matter :-)
  2. This one sticks it even at a lower price range: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AYDSWK2/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl1&tag=robertoblaked-20&linkId=800282169b025e30943649871a6814a0
  3. I concur Jon's comments. Kudos to Vasha : ) Not only night footage (to prove with the right settings, this camera can be a low light killer : P) but also daily footage. To those used to bash this wonderful piece of technology to infer it as too videoish, here you have what a pilot or competent shooter means. Coupled to the proper glass under control to know the limits of your acquisition tool, why do we need another capture device BTW? ; ) @webrunner5 you are on the spot, Don... my 8 years of Montenegro can only confirm you that : -)
  4. Just marketing. For some reason this thread has 136 pages. Not only because of downvoting.
  5. Seems fair enough to me at least : ) @David, pops to my mind one of my fav quotes if not my dearest one: «The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.» ~ Niels Bohr E : -)
  6. As matter of fact, this is the real struggle a filmmaker must deal with. I hadn't read your generous and juicy post before I posted mine. As Glenn @mercer can check by himself now, the numbers are not so far away of each other ; ) That is, to not properly state they really match : ) Your ten script pages mark don't obviously surprise me, even though as above-posted Ruiz is still considered a milestone :- D
  7. No idea on your background Glenn, only on your good taste ; ) But I guess you'd end surprised if you'd look closer LOL ;- ) Anyway, no secrets any good search or learning enterprise or a good school resource even online can lead you to the answers you're looking for. I don't even know that show... But, take four minutes (for the full-length), I mean, to end within the screen in the final cut (or pages of script) as average at least! Narrative shot in one camera setup. No multiple camera where a not-so-well-cared soap opera can range forty/forty five minutes or so (i.e., pages of script to pair up). Oh well, do not count special projects either ; )) Which can end in a half of that first figure above for example. On the other hand, Raoul Ruiz as for instance was known by reaching twelve to make it happen in a single day.
  8. Thanks for the heads-up! Indeed. You are right : ) My bad. Especially when I had the chance to personally meet him in Rome, trade good laughs and enjoy his companion eight years ago where I could bring with me about 5% of the people present in the RED event they organized there with the finest help of Corrado Silveri. Ted who Jim brought from AJA was rather relevant, even though I tend to point Jim-Jarred as the double-decker train. I'd favour to see Ted as the vertice of a triangle to build the company culture Jim dreamed from scratch in that distant 1999 year as some records say. I only started to be connected with him and that venture (with Jarred, since a year earlier) from 2005 on. BTW I wish Ted all the best at Paramount (E :- )
  9. David, beyond... Don meant a dozen years ago or suchlike, more than a decade, eleven years to be more precise ;- )
  10. Well, I guess I am entitled to also be able to add some sparks here once I was there too... ; ) While David (Newman) was actually the first in the line to become what REDCODE is, Graeme Nattress ('man of plugins') is the maths wizard behind to fulfill the rivalry. David had the tech as well he was more targeted to give a solid meaning to the masses mantra when sold his Cineform to GoPro. Amazing technology from genius hands used in the Multiple Academy Awarded Slumdog Millionaire, as for instance, when REDCODE was still in its infancy to say it pretty straightforward. Jim (Jannard) started his project in his mind along the last century's end, even though, he had hired the best man Jarred in that late 2005 from dvxuser webmaster to be RED chief and help him to finish the whole camera concept a few months before that NAB announcement the year after. A 2K cinema camera converted later to a 4K acquisition device after all, when David was effectively focused to bring 4K editing as a workflow to life. Followed by this (golden) pair of contributors usually bashed by the customary suspects inside the 35mm realm; CML, cinematography forums and so on... Hope this helps to clarify a bit such part of the History of Digital Motion Picture, E :- )
  11. I guess this is the guy: https://www.mysmartprice.com/gear/2018/04/23/philips-releases-new-43-inch-4k-monitor-displayhdr-1000-adaptive-sync-support/ More here: http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/philips-436m6vbpab-monitor-(43in-va-ultra-hd-gets-displayhdr-1000-certification.html https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/04/philips-launches-a-43-inch-hdr-monitor-that-reaches-1000-nits-of-brightness/
  12. Sad to know. How and why did it happen?
  13. For a simple reason. We all know BMD IQ standard , that's why so. Isn't it, guys? ; -)
  14. Sure. That's a mere comparison though. Sound and image don't compare at all as much as hearing and sight are senses of a very different nature. With much distinct limits indeed. See the example between animal species of unrelated kind as far as their sensory system range concerns. Therefore, perception is the main key element then. That's all about that. Fair point anyway, Aaron (E :- )
  15. Sure : ) But there are physical boundaries marketing tend to pretend they are not mindful :-)
