The new Red Centre #5 is out. In this podcast Jason and Mike discuss offline editing and RED.
A key aspect of the RED offline workflow currently is the use of Crimson and the guys talk this week to Crimson founder Ian Bloom about his software and his approach to just solving problems.
There is also a chance to win stuff for your RED camera.
Note: Sydney Red User Group is WED 14th at 5pm - email for an invitation or details*****

Awesome show guys! I am a DP with a Red (and 9 other cameras) I have noticed my Red camera is no where near it’s supposed 320ASA. When the camera is set at the standard 320 asa it is sensitive like a 200 asa imager. I have used incident metering, spot metering and comparison to multiple DSLRs (comparing histograms). I have also tested indoor and outdoor shoots. Everything indicates my Red camera is 200asa sensitive at it’s 320asa setting. What is up with this? Is anyone else worried about this?
Keep up the good work!
Cheers,
Rich

Thanks Rich, I totally agree with you. Anecdotally I’d say yes its a camera better rated at 200, no idea why its rated one way or the other, but hey I know a lot of DP’s who rate film stock different to what Kodak or Fuji say so I guess its all a personal preference.

Actually we have an entire class on rating cameras in fxphd.com - we rate a Sony and the RED and our methodology came out at around 320 ISO. If you allow for the ‘hidden’ 1/3 - 1/2 stop in the highlights

I must be blind or stupid or both… I’m clicking away on every link I can find on this page, but I cannot seem to find any way to make the audio play… What am I doing wrong?

In keeping with the theme - I think there are one too few double-yoos in the Monster Cine link, too …
