A few clips from RED ONE in Boston Shooting 120 FPSI have a RED ONE for the weekend and I have been shooting non-stop since I got it. The sensor is heating up as I rip through 120 frames per second at 2k resolution. I tired to shoot 4.5k, but the RED hard drive wont support it! I will be shooting a skateboarding short Sunday and Monday in Boston using the RED at 120FPS, my Sony PMW-EX1 shooting sitdown interviews and the Canon 5dmk2 as a specialty camera. Right now, I need sleep. The RED batteries are charging and the sensor is cooling down. Take a look at a clip from tonight’s Boston University hockey game shot at 120 FPS. I used an old Nikon 105mm f2.5 lens and my Vinten Vision 10 AS tripod. It is much easier following the action with the RED bomb viewfinder mounted to the camera. I was running the RED rig without a follow focus, used only prime lenses and was alone. Quite a challenge following that hockey puck!
Some footy from the skate shoot:
Shot at sunset with a 16mm, 55mm and 105mm Nikon Nikkor manual lens at 120FPS. Um, no matte box or filters!
I will post RAW files in my next RED ONE blog post in the near future. 14 comments to A few clips from RED ONE in Boston Shooting 120 FPS |

Smooth and clean mate… Lovely.
Oh Boy. Beeing a keeper can suck. Right?
Looks good, how do you find grading the red footage.
I have spoken to people who have a lot of issues with it.
120fps must burn up the disk drive space pretty quickly! Nice footage. Maybe you don’t need a Phantom after all!
Fitting that the player you were following was named “Swallow”
Puerile humor aside, nice & clean footage. So 4k wouldn’t work with the unit’s own hard drive? That’s a pain! My concern would be how far from “state of the art” this is, given it was released almost 3 years ago?
Wow, Tom. That footage looks great! Makes me want a RED even more than before.
Looks great, it sounds tough to work with.
Check out FXPHD. They have two classes on
RED. I use it for 3D motion design.

Beautiful footage, I wonder will the scarlet come close to it.
hey tom … a great one !
can’t wait to play with the R3D’s 
…
so in your opinion the RED ONE is not really a” one-man-show cam” (even with FF and a Zoom-Lens) … say for a Documentary or something (as a substitute for EX1 /EX3 or a rather bigger one like Panny HDX900)
As always Tom, great stuff, If you ever need help with the red, or need an AC on it, I’ve worked with it a ton.
And what do you mean by the RED Bomb viewfinder? cause they actually hve a new viewfinder called the BOMB

Sunset shots are very beautiful! Thank you for sharing them.
4.5K works fine with the RedDrive, but you need to also set the RedCode bitrate appropriately or it will tell you it isn’t valid.
For Steven Brace, there are no issues grading Red footage, just people who don’t know how to get the best out of the system (both at the acquisition stage and in post). DO NOT overexpose is the number one rule. If you blow the RAW exposure into white, you’ve got nothing to pull back. Then post becomes a blame game with everyone ending up blaming the tool, when they should be blaming the operator who fudged it in the first place….
HTH

Great looking stuff! My daily workhorse is the HPX-300, which is pretty sharp for a little sensor, but this footage looks great! Say hi to Kevin S!
Oh my god the RED ONE. Waiting for the final video
