its more used for "fuckit fix it post". It allows the DI people to pull out/mix&match bits of the frame that would otherwise be lost to noise.
Its also useful in VFX for things like matchmoving, as you can crank up the exposure so the tracker can grab onto something (again assuming low noise.)
That's the theory, with RED it never delivered, being noisy and not very sensitive (see DoP/ set deisgner's mutterings in the hobbit.)
- KaiserPro 8y agoActually something is coming back to me. Its useful for "day for night" shots. Originally one would slap a blue filter on your lights and under expose the footage by x amount. Assuming the sensor has a dynamic range wide enough, you can just alter the exposure in post, without clipping the blacks too much.
