Synaptic Light – a Journey in Filmmaking and Social Media

This is Last Part of a 4 Part series on my thoughts and experiences concerning the Short 1 min Film we put together for the skarlets competition:

• Part 1: Red Box Spider Journey: The Idea
• Part 2: Red Box Spider Journey: Pre-Production
• Part 3: Red Box Spider Journey: Production
• Part 4: Red Box Spider Journey: Post-Production

Feel free to watch the entry and vote and post comments

Here are my thoughts and experience on the Post Production side, as well as the conclusion, please tell me what you think (more…)

I’ll have to revisit this early December after the Scarlet announcements on Nov 30th.

You know you get those stories of things that just can’t be real; someone brings it up in conversation some time or another, the urban legend.

Ok granted, it will optimistic to think that this will be released with a year, but going on the reputation of RED – it will be released. Imagine that 28k footage – what on earth do you view that on? “umm – I will be editing the full res sequence on the surface of the moon”

RED had their much anticipated announcement on October 30th. There was much said. But my intention here is to highlight the camera, not to review it but just to parade it – cos this is an awesome super-duper camera of note – word.
Not really sure what the cost will be in this case because of the vast configuration options. Typically you would start with the brain (sensor part) and build from there. But with RED One owners there are intensives for similar configurations when investing in this new baby. Wish I could be in that club with the cash on hand for this camera; but having said that – I am very keep the hear more about the Epic FF35 option.

Yip, I admit it – I have a problem.

I am weak.

What can you expect from a work in progress.

Too much of my time is spend desiring and dreaming about an awesome RED One camera System and a hardcore Mac Pro Editing Setup. There we go; I said awesome and hardcore in one sentence.

Hmmmm.
