On Artbeats.com: Using the RED One for Stock Footage

Chris Meyer | 10/21- 02:28 PM

Some of their lessons learned shooting with the RED.

When we heard that Artbeats were shooting stock footage with their new RED One camera, we were curious to know what they had learned, including issues such as lenses (they ended up getting a Nikon mount and using SLR lenses while waiting for RED to produce cost-effective PL-mount lenses in greater quantity), image latitude (they feel the RED rolls off highlights and shadows better than their Sony F900R, giving a more filmic response), workflow (they transcode RAW files to DPX film-format files for processing in After Effects), and the such.

I mixed in some footage from a light drawing test that we did for the same project using a Canon DSLR.

No on Prop 8 (California)—shot on RED

Art Adams | 10/16- 08:04 PM

Another successful RED project on a shoestring budget

I’ll revisit this next week when I have more time to write (I’m about to go into a four day RED project that will shoot over this coming weekend) but I’m very proud of this spot and--as it was just released onto YouTube--I wanted to show it off.

Green, Magenta and RED

Art Adams | 10/16- 04:17 PM

Be aware that the RED camera seems to be VERY sensitive to green

“Conversation”: Anatomy of Another HD Spot

Art Adams | 10/15- 04:10 PM

Here’s how I shot a spot that’s currently running all over California
