With the release of the RED ONE™ digital cinema camera, the possibility of recording stunning, cinematic-quality images with an affordable camera became a reality.
Produced by Red Digital Cinema Camera Company, The Red One captures in 4k; a higher resolution than any other digital camera out there today. In creating RED One, Jannard and company decided to apply the concepts of digital still photographic technology to a moving image camera. The Red One successfully records more data, down to the smallest detail, like a drop of water on a pair of sunglasses or the amber of a cigar. With a high noise to signal ratio, The Red Camera also records great sound.
When the Red Camera was first announced, over 5,000 cameras were on reserve. The anticipation for the technology was high and great expectations were met. RED One proved itself out in the field, providing shots in the action film Wanted and the sci-fi fantasy Jumper, as well as 100% of the acquisition on Steven Soderbergh’s Guerilla, The Argentine and The Informant. In addition, the directing team that brought you the digitally shot Crank is also shooting their upcoming Game as an all-RED feature film production. Not to mention many lower-profile productions ranging from commercials and music videos to small indie film projects.
The camera is not only ingenious but also very practical. You can do creative editing using a laptop, even though you’re linked to 4k media. RED Digital Cinema recommends Apple Final Cut Pro 6.0.2 if you intend to cut a project today. With the Redcode codec installed, you can import the QuickTime reference files and immediately start editing, although Apple isn’t actually promoting this workflow. If you intend to do a lot of RED editing, then an octo-core Mac Pro is in your future. It is definitely possible on a fast machine to place the bigger proxies (2048 x 1024) on a ProRes HD timeline, render and master to tape – all without leaving Final Cut Pro.
