Total Recall (2012) Shot on RED Epic

Total Recall started shooting on the RED Epic camera a couple weeks ago. Here is what the cinematographer, Paul Cameron, ASC, had to say about the camera:

It’s hard not to face the reality of what EPIC brings to the table. It’s ability to render a noise free image at 800 ISO with the lattitude to back it up. HDRX is really what seperates it from film. The abilty to take a second exposure real time to maintain detail in highlights 6 stops over is something i believe will make a lot of cinematographer thrilled.

As I take it through the paces I am finding it possible to render a very tactile filmic look. On this picture I am using Panavision C Series Aanamorphics and going for extreme flares and halation in areas of the frame. The more I deconstuct it the better its looking.

Game on.

Paul Cameron, ASC
