Re: Focusing the Red
by Nate Weaver on May 16, 2008 at 7:16:20 am

[Jeffrey Cirbes] ""But I’d hate to have to focus the RED by eye on a dynamic, moving target. There just isn’t enough detail in the low-res outputs to be sure of focus."

Episodic shows are all about dynamic, moving targets (at least the 3 I work on) This is ONE of the reasons why we will not use RED."

The 720p output gets you 80% of the way there, but there's still room for error.

The real question is, is the final output of your job high enough res for it to matter? In addition, if you're shooting Red, you should either be working "film" style where you have a 1st and he gets to have a rehearsal and take eye marks, if necessary...or be ready to have a few buzzed shots here and there.

BTW, even if a show was all about hustling run and gun all day long, I wouldn't rule Red out just because of focus issues. You'd have them with any camera. You can buzz with a F900 just as easily.
