A bit offtopic indeed, but thought that since everyone here is a geek, it was ok...
We just had the opportunity to have people make a small movie about our snowboard discipline, and the guys used the new Red Digital Cinema Camera for this... this is the first snowboard movie ever done on a Red and the result is going to rock ( shortmovie of 7mins only)..

Teaser is here:

Speed: up to 120 fps!

this camera means the end of film in Cinema....Panavision is history soon...Editor told me you need Huge machine to work with the files!

Not true actually. We take our footage shot with our Red One and convert down to VCD quality then delete the originals, which makes the files very small and manageable for working with on our 386 (with 2GB HD).

Okay, to be clear, my post was me just kidding around. In fact, I don't even own a Red One with which to create such footage. However, if someone here gives me one for free, I won't complain.

indeed, there is not even a single PC able to use the 4500k files and broadcast them using a beamer at this quality....( nor there is a beamer able to do it!)

Everyone is downgrading the 4k to 2k files for proper use!!
