Article Comment – RED's 6K WEAPON Magnesium Camera is Shipping

Way too much detail on her skin. It looks kind of gross. This is the wrong application for 8K.

Article Comment – Crew Calls Production of 'The Revenant' a Living Hell: When Is a Director Asking for Too Much?

Most of the people defending him in these comments would probably be the first ones to jump ship. Tom Hardy put the director in a headlock for being such an asshole to the entire crew. And it was closer to 50 people that were fired/quit.

Article Comment – RED Introduces 8K Full-Frame WEAPON Camera, Shipping End of 2015

8K won't make a big difference. That is the irony. Unless you follow this rule ...

"One advantage of high-resolution displays such as 8K is to have each pixel be indistinguishable from another to the human eye from a much closer distance. On an 8K screen sized 52 inches, this effect would be achieved in a distance of 50.8 cm (20 inches) from the screen, and on a 92 in screen at 91.44 cm (3 feet) away."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8K_resolution

Did any of you guys see the 8k Super Hi-Vision demo at NAB? I did. Two years in a row. It didn't look much different than 4k. In fact, the SonyF65 4k demonstration blew the pants off it.

Things that will make a difference ....

dynamic range
color science
S/N ratio
ISO
Ergonomics
Price
Reliability

LOL. Who cares. 8K won't look any better than 4k or 6k. Diminishing returns. Our eyes won't see it unless its projected on an IMAX screen which won't be able to play that anyways. This is the best RED can do? ARRI got it right with the Alexa 65.

Article Comment – Apple's New Super-Thin 12" Retina Macbook Uses One USB-C Port for Everything

If the "innovation" doesn't provide improved functionality and performance for the end user then who cares. Shaving a few mm off the thickness of my laptop won't help me edit faster.
