It's a pity the Scarlet can't do HDRx at 24p.

Tease!! Show us more!!

Will do mate, just flat chat on a couple of jobs at the moment, I want to get up the coast a little and shoot some decent subjects in clear water

[Nick Hope]

Rich Stevenson posted some Red Epic underwater footage. Heavily compressed though. Not sure if the footage has been desaturated in post, or if Rich had his settings that way, or if the subject just needs to get out in the sun more.

(maybe a mod could add "Epic" into the thread's title, as this seems to be for Epic posts too?)

Some stills and I will have some quick cuts from last weeks diving, the first two were at 10mm the second was at 13mm, I actually didn't shoot anything at 17mm as the vis was pretty ordinary.
I am just exporting and will upload some video tonight, nothing mind blowing but it will give you an idea

[jonny shaw]

Quick and dirty cut, conditions weren't great, vis on the wreck was 5-7m, Fish Rock was better at 15m vis but the depth was reasonably deep at about 30m. I am going to sound like every other guy with a Red but the vimeo thing just doesn't do it justice. I watched it on a 2K projector and it looked flippin awesome..... and that is at half res.

Thanks Pete, I'm not too sure about the grade but hey I cut and graded it in a hour or so in Premier Pro. Was actually really easy as you have a live update with RedCine X and PP handles the native files easily.

Try to shoot in HDRX in 2k and process in CineX Pro. You find the latitude to be very nice.

I'll give it a bash Drew, I haven't actually shot any HDRx stuff at all, my reservation would be the FOV at 2K.... worth a go though

[Drew]

fisheye it.... @ 2x it should look ok.

Hey Jonny
I am interested how you handled WB with these shots. Did you do all the white balance in post or did you try and get it as close as possible while shooting. If so did you set the K temp or use another method

[jonny shaw]

White balance is just metadata so it doesn't make any difference. I did manually WB on a couple of dives so it looked better on the monitor but don't really worry about it. Working with R3d's in post is a huge learning curve. You have so much latitude to work with and you really need to work it to get the best from it.

Just saw that John E announced Deep Scarlet, same as Deep Epic but not with Redmote, Tally light and a couple of other bits including port and either PE160 or PE286 for under 15K. Very cool, although I have to admit that having access to redmote is awesome and I use it on pretty much every job.

Also just seen that Amphibico have just announce their housing 'Rouge' there are pics on Reduser
