Thanks to Mike Curtis, we get another endorsement for the amazing RED camera, slated for release in April.
If you can’t read the image, it says:
The RED Mysterium sensor has finally pushed digital acquisition past the timeless 35mm film barrier in resolution and clean color fidelity.
The endorsement is by David Stump who is not only a member of the ASC but is the chair of the Digital Camera subcommittee for the ASC.
Do you really thing digital camcorders can match the celluloid resolution any day? I dont think so. Celluloid will always stay 2 steps ahead, just as the human brain stays quite some steps ahead from the computer…Filmmaking on celluloid might be expensive, but then, its worth it.
Sarthak,
I used to think the same to be true for stills photography.
But on the net I saw some pictures which compared 35mm images scanned at 2K with the Red camera downsampled to 2K, and boy is there a difference;
While they both have comparable resolution, the Red camera is very pristine, while on the Film you do see the grain.
That said, I love the living quality of projected 35mm film.
But now Red is working on a 4k projector, so it looks like the future will be digital in aquisition as well.
