Love Burns RED

FEBRUARY, 2018

In honor of Valentines Day, we thought it the perfect occasion for a post about the thing most dear to our hearts; Our RED Scarlet-W.

We acquired this beauty in April of 2017, which amounted to signing away each of our first born children, but we can say with confidence that it was well worth the sacrifice. The Scarlet is a full-fledged Super 35 cinema camera, shooting in glorious 16-bit Redcode RAW, 5K resolution at 60fps, 4K at 120fps, and even as high as 300fps at 2K – which affords us really kick-ass slow motion. And with enough dynamic range to best the ARRI Alexa, you get a sense of how serious this machine is. Alright, you get it – we’ll stop now.

RED cameras as a whole have a bit of an urban legend surrounding them. Everyone knows what a RED is, and they know how serious of a camera it is, and whenever someone sees one they sort of gawk at it like its the Ark of The Covenant and say:

“…is…is that a RED?“

“Yes. Yes it is.” *insert smirk emoji here*

The capabilities of this camera are a bit ridiculous, but RED understands this, and joins in with fun marketing. The logo to the camera is a skull, with a ‘W’ hidden inside it to represent it’s sensor technology that I mentioned earlier, WEAPON. They could’ve named it something normal, like the XWS 3000 or whatever, but instead chose to be assholes about it. Need to expand your I/O ports? Buy the JETPACK Expander. Need customer support? You’ll speak with the BOMB SQUAD.

As owners of the RED Scarlet-W, we can deliver cinema level image quality to all of our projects, blowing DSLR’s and mirrorless cameras out of the water. Combining all of these crazy specs with nice optics, such the Sigma’s Artisan series zooms, you get supreme image quality, like Northern Faces‘ “Messin’ With Me”, Girl Blue‘s “Dreams” cover, and Dark Honey‘s “Stinging Nettle”, all of which are below for your viewing pleasure:
