Article Comment – Will 6K with RED Dragon Mean Unmanageable File Sizes? Plus, New RED Rocket Card in Development

Though no one will probably ever read this because this is a few years past the original posting, I'm going to answer this anyway.

I own a Red Dragon, and the files are completely manageable. They are easy to store, easy to use, and I can edit them natively right on computer without changing a thing. I'm finishing up a feature documentary shot on a mixture of 5K and 6K footage, and it's all been done on my Mac Pro and Raid Drive. So... there you go.

Article Comment – RED Summer Shipping Update for Their New WEAPON Camera

A lighter camera is great for a lot of things. Drones, stabilizers, handheld, the lighter that you can get the camera, the happier you and your systems are going to be.

Article Comment – From Scriptment to Screen: How Hannah Fidell Helmed the Stunning '6 Years'

And I could write my novel on the back of napkins I stole from the pizza joint down the street, but I won't because writing on a computer is easier, and sometimes that just helps. The right camera can make things so much easier when you don't have the budget and time to do everything right.

It's a point people forget, I feel. Just because you can shoot a movie on your iPhone doesn't mean its the best idea. There are a lot of challenges that come from trying to make that cinematic that you simply wouldn't have to deal with if you were using a real camera. The same rings true for DSLRs. On a production with a tight schedule, that can spell doom.

This post is rambling and done at 2:30 in the morning. I actually agree with Matt, but I also agree with Aaron. The two comments should be merged into one informative comment.
