1st Footage of RED Pro Primes on 35mm Film
Norm Li just posted a music video he shot with the RED Pro Primes on a 35mm film camera.
All I can say is HOLY sharp and crisp. These lenses performed beautifully on 35mm and looks fantastic. Flared nicely as well. The colorist was really blown away by the sharpness as well and did not have to apply any sharpening like he normally has to with superspeeds. The original contrast from RPP is nice too. They definitely behave similarly with S4′s.

Hi, I need some help with understanding the 35mm film. As i am new to the camera world, finding information is hard as im not familiar with some of the technical words used. Im in love with Red Cameras, especially the Scarlet and thats what has got me interested in cameras. I would like to know what is 35mm film? Does Red Scarlet have the 35mm? Is 35 mm film something separate you buy and is it compatible with Scarlet? What is the benefit of a 35mm film? Where do you get a 35mm and how much? How do you connect it?
Thank you for your help.
Kind Regards,
Jay
Hi Jay, this music video was not shot on a RED camera but with RED Pro Prime lenses on a 35mm film camera like this: http://www.nvmcs.com/nvmcs/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/ARRIFLEX_435_48019177cc143.jpg
The RED cameras are digital and shoot to Compact Flash cards, hard drive based recorders like the RED drive, or other solid state digital storage. You cannot shoot to 35mm film using a RED camera. Hollywood features shot on the RED camera are still transferred to 35mm film prints for showing in theaters, however, as 35mm film projectors are still the most common.
