| Working on a movie right now shot Epic 5K. Many shots are repositioned and zoomed up as much as 200%. You can't do this with something that's 1920x1080 in the first place. You can zoom in a little but now 200% to make a single out of a wide shot. Most effect plates are pulled in log at 2K and often larger for complex 3D work such as green screen keys, set extensions, etc. RedLogFilm exports as log through RedCine-X or Davinci or AE. The option just doesn't exist when you haven't shot with a large format raw camera. I love the Sony F3 cameras, large pixels, low noise but when are they going to allow us to get at the large image? Sony keeps telling me its just a firmware upgrade away. Maybe.

IMO, if they’re not shooting for cinema-sized outputs, what’s the point of all that resolution? I’ve always chuckled at some in that crowd, anxious to call themselves indie film makers, who don’t have the infrastructure, storage space or means to edit and handle 2k-4k material. |
