Great question Liz. It depends on the significance of the equipment addition. Our lenses are reserved for big cases labeled 1A 1B etc. The good news about the numbers is they can easily be removed and rearranged but our gear lineup is pretty filled out at this point so we haven't had and big additions since implementing the system. Maybe another article will come out tackling this if it becomes a bigger ordeal than expected haha.

Hey Kevin, Glad this helped! Good luck out there!

Hi Jack,
Thanks for catching that typo - it should have read through the visual effects process. If VFX are done before grading when the clips are rendered they would not be able to be rendered into R3D because the file format is proprietary - so we would lose the R3D raw options when grading and other raw formats are very "fat."

As for setting up Resolve to work with RED footage, we could dedicate pages to the color grading process (and I may write one in the near future!) but the main focus of this article was on the file system and journey of the shots. I wanted to keep the process applicable to people who don't shoot on RED too.

Hope that answers your question!

Best,
John

Before we began filming I had a safety brief with everyone on set. I instructed everyone who was working with the lights to make sure they said "Striking" or notified everyone in some other way the lights were being turned on. However, the reason for the eye protection was mainly because of the super close proximity to the LEDs while building them - from a distance, the lights function the same way as any other bright light.

Hi Ash! We used UV paints specifically designed for body painting - Yeah there was some keying involved - Used a luma stencil - will go into more detail in another article soon!

Thank you!

This is absolutely incredible. I cannot wait to get the upgrade!
