> Honestly, though, the quality of their codecs suck. The color information just isn't there. You can watch Netflix and immediately tell which things were shot on RED, because they'll be grainy (which they think is a feature) and will lack nuanced color.
This is all just false. Their codes allow you to record actual RAW data from the sensor in 16 bits. All the color nuance is there.
RED cameras are crazy expensive and are used by Hollywood, Netflix, and thousands of professional studios. They are the golden standard, along with Arri cameras.
- rurban 4y agoBullshit. The Arri Alexa is the gold standard, the RED the cheap alternative. You can immediately see if it was shot with a good camera or a RED.
- boppo1 4y agoCan you give me some example scenes to look at?
- johnklos 4y agoHere's an article that'll tell you a few examples of what's shot on what: https://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/cameras-behind-netflix-originals/ https://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/cameras-behind-netflix-orig... Here's a very polite quote about some of the issues people have with RED: "We did a lot of tests with the VariCam and the RED, and I was really happy with what the VariCam was giving us. We found that we were a little afraid of how the RED camera handles greens. We were going to be surrounded in greens while shooting summer in Atlanta, and the RED just looked a little too digital."
- boppo1 4y agoNeat, thanks.
- aspyct 4y agoThe fact that the raw is 16bits says nothing about image quality.
