RED Evolves with New 8K Brains & How to Shoot Digital to Feel Like Film [PODCAST]

Three cheers for RED! It seems the company has finally conquered its longstanding PR issues by managing to ship something—the new 8K Helium brains—when it said it would. But why is the highest resolution option called "full frame"? We discuss that, introduce your new favorite streaming service, and tell you how to get the film look digitally in this episode of Indie Film Weekly, co-hosted by Jon Fusco, Emily Buder, and Charles Haine.

As always, the show also brings news you can use about gear, upcoming grant and festival deadlines, this week’s indie film releases, our Ask No Film School segment, and other notable things you might have missed while you were busy making films.
