Re: Focusing the Red

Naw, I feel your side of the story. I really do.

But I would argue that in such a situation, back in the day when film was the only real option, that shooting wide open in the dark the operator never had a 100% good look at focus at all time then either. There has always been that "I know I took my marks correctly, I know the actors hit their mark, and the operator said we had it" consumate pro sense of faith. Lord knows the video tap was useless for that then, why is it indispensably important now?

In the end I come around to your point of view, though. I guess I'd say that if such things are simply not negotiable in your neck of the woods, then the Genesis/Dalsa/whathaveyou is really what the production should have. Something has to go for such a cheap price point, and RT monitoring is one of them. C'est la vie.
