Why DCV Shoots On RED Cinema Cameras.
"The Best in the Business"
Selecting a camera to shoot your next video can be challenging. You must film on an incredible camera to capture extraordinary footage. We've found the Red Gemini gets that job done.
The RED camera is ideal because of the following features:
Size
The Red Geminiis a compact design.
Weighing only 5 pounds, it is much lighter than its competitors, like the Arri Alexa classic and the Amira. The Alexa weighs 14 pounds, and the Amira comes in at 9. Onset, crew members have to lug around a plethora of equipment, the last of their worries should be whether carrying the camera is going to break their backs.
Just because the RED is small, doesn't mean the image quality is reduced.
On the contrary, the camera is renowned in the film community for capturing organic skin tones, having a dynamic range, a high frame rate, low-light performance, being extremely versatile, containing IPP2 color science, and procuring stunning resolution. You're essentially receiving your bang for your buck.
Customizable builds
Unlike other industry cameras, the RED has a customizable body. You can accessorize it as much as you'd like with the following:
- Types of batteries
- Side handles
- Add on monitors
High resolution
The RED camera has a maximum resolution of 6144×3240. That is about 19 megapixels.
This means that you can have an image captured at 9 times the size of Full HD
Other capabilities include:
- Push-ins (turning a wide into a mid-shot)
- Stabilizing bumps
- Allowing for various camera movement
Redcode Raw
The RED camera shoots on Redcode Raw. This helps to handle the influx of specified data produced by such high-tech equipment. Footage is compressed raw which saves on storage, ultimately saving money, and allows for malleability in post.
In simple words, the RED camera is extremely flexible
and allows for a whole new level of peace of mind when you are shooting fast-moving environments.
While it is not an inexpensive camera, it is more than worth every dollar you spend.
