Filming 100-Megapixel Aerials Over New York
- bartkappenburg 8y agoSee the 8K movie at youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN3uF3990Q0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN3uF3990Q0
- MrBuddyCasino 8y agoTIL that 8k is too much for a 2015 MBP to render in software.
- e40 8y agoToo much for a 2013 MP, as well. I have a single D300.
- Findeton 8y agoApple computers are not well-known for being powerful. Actually, the opposite is true.
- mrep 8y agoMy late 2013 one handled it but it has got a 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, 16gb of ram, a NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M and the cpu was still at like 90%.
- Rebelgecko 8y agoFor the daytime shots especially, I see lots of weird aliasing artifacts on the buildings. Is it like that for everyone, or is that just a sideeffect of watching a 4320p video on a 1440p monitor?
- bicubic 8y agoIt’s aliasing. You don’t see it on stuff filmed with most consumer cameras because they have an anti aliasing filter over the sensor. If you want maximum resolution, you remove that filter. They could have removed it in post but again it would reduce the effective resolution.
- Darthy 8y agoThat's incorrect. You're thinking of a low pass filter, for which the Red supports a variety of filters that you can switch. What the parent most likely is seeing is bad nearest-neighbor downscaling (e.g bad selection of downscaling algorithm).
- abakker 8y agoMaybe photo vs film terminology? On my canon 5DSr, it is definitely the physical antialiasing filter that is removed to allow improved sharpness per pixel at the expense of greater risk of moire.
- pipio21 8y agoI have a high definition monitor and TVs. It looks gorgeous on them.
- CyberDildonics 8y agoIt is an artifact of the down sampling being used, yes. It wouldn't be the same if you were watching the 8k source directly, but few people are probably able to do that.
- bitL 8y agoI only have 3x 4k monitor, would need to buy another one to watch it in 8k ;-)
- grenoire 8y agoThe cameras used are absolutely insane...
- philfrasty 8y agofor anyone interested...http://www.red.com/store/products/dsmc2-brain/710-0303 http://www.red.com/store/products/dsmc2-brain/710-0303
- callesgg 8y agoSo whats the target audience? Who wants this video? Who can even play it?
- Mediterraneo10 8y ago> So whats the target audience? Who wants this video? I imagine that downsampled and tweaked to seem even more vivid, this is the sort of thing that appeals to television manufacturers so that they have cool demo videos to play in a loop in the shop.
- eveningcoffee 8y agoAnyone who could offer a big video wall installation?
- reaperducer 8y agoI was trying to think of a purpose for this kind of resolution, too. Other than surveillance. It reminded me of that line from Real Genius where Mitch says, "Let the engineers figure out a use for that, it's not our concern." Then I remembered the awesome video for Imitation of Life that R.E.M. put out back in 2001. It was necessarily blurry, but with this kind of gear, it could have been crystal clear HD.

- zachruss92 8y agoThat video is crazy. It looks surreal on my 4k monitor.
- l33tbro 8y agoIt's a neat camera, but it's really unfortunate that you can't put industry-standard cinema glass on it (eg, Master Prime, Summilux, Cooke etc). Spending all that money on body and rigging, then having to use a Tokina or Sigma lens is kind of ridiculous.
- fezz 8y agoMounts are changeable to PL, Leica, PV, EF, Nikon on those Reds.
- Darthy 8y agoCorrect. Master Primes, Cookes and Leica Summilux are all PL-mount, with which the Red is completely compatible. Seeing such a bullshit attack as the top comment is really unfortunate.
- l33tbro 8y agoNo. This is a full-frame 35 mm sensor. Few of the industry-standard super-35 lenses fit without vignetting at 8k.
- yason 8y agoYet the ultra-high resolution video looks somehow artificial and like it's rendered instead of filmed because of all the sharpness that is not normally seen by the eye because of focusing.
- ehsankia 8y agoIt's pretty common for new higher quality video to look fake, simply because we're not used to them. It happens every time we go up in resolution or framerate, until you eventually get used to it.
- bitL 8y agoIt's how sensor and post-processing play together. You probably won't enjoy the look that is coming straight out of camera (ordinary and ugly), so an artistic license is applied in "cooking" colors, noise removal, sharpening, remapping of light dynamic range etc. to make it look better. If you do pro photography, you might be amused how much artificial some photos look straight out of camera, especially if you are using off-camera flashes; sometimes you get candy-like photos with accentuated edges that look unnatural, but that comes straight out of camera in the RAW file already.
- VoidWhisperer 8y agoProbably a false positive but this site triggered my anti-virus (Malwarebytes)
- gshock 8y agosame here
- bitL 8y agoPretty rad setup! I love this kind of marriage of technology and art! Very nice work! Thanks for an inspiration! Did you think about doing the same above Kīlauea these days?
- matte_black 8y agoI hope to watch this one day on my own monitor, or at least any 8k capable screen.
