[Alex Huber] "Great but why do you need 4k?" "
Alex
I am in the middle of a full blown test of RED at Fletcher Chicago, and I too have asked that question. Graeme did a fine job explaining it, but the reality of the highend marketplace is that film production was moving to 4K before the RED was announced, RED just accelerated the timeline a bit.
adding to Graeme's comments
4K will give better key's for VFX work
4K will give better plates for Background work.
4K is not as scary as P2 was for most people.
2K is still a viable option out of the camera
There is no such thing as unlimited DoF in 4K
remember also
4K is NOT for everyone
IF you do not know what a "PL mount" is you are in trouble
RED One will NEVER be the HVX200
People that talk about working in 4K without ever touching HD are to be avoided.
my 2 cents
