Ferris Beuller and 4K
A patron of the RED USER.net forum mentioned seeing the Social Network in NY this weekend. He inquired as to whether or not the film was projected in 2K or 4K, commenting how good it looked on the large screen. I responded to the forum, but wanted to include the response here since this issue is much bigger than The Social Network. In fact, it goes back to another post I made earlier regarding...
2010 3D Summit
3D Summit
This past Wednesday and Thursday at the Universal Hilton was the annual 3D Summit event. This event boasted some of the latest and greatest 3D talent and tools which were spread out amongst a myriad of key speakers and hallways filled with prototypes, proof of concepts, demonstrations and demos.

Since 2008, a significant number of post production houses seemed to have disappeared.

The final DI look can now be seen...
RED REEL 600 & 4K
Since 2007, I have produced and edited 8 company reels for the RED Digital Cinema camera company. Most of the reels coincide with special event exhibitions - such as IBC, NAB, or in-house RED events and play all over the world and sometimes online (if you know where to look).
Friends that know me know that when I have to make a new RED Reel, I not only go “off the map,” but that...
