Mysterium-X News.
The 1st project shot on the new Mysterium-X sensor is “The Social Network”, directed by David Fincher… cinematographer- Jeff Cronenweth. The movie is being shot with two RED ONE cameras modified with the new sensor upgrade. David and Jeff were kind enough to shoot “The Match” (DiCaprio) for us a week before RED Day One.
The next project to be shot with the M-X sensor (RED ONE upgrade) is “Knockout”, directed by Steven Soderbergh. Shooting begins in two weeks.
Interestingly enough… Fincher is using Soderbergh’s original cameras that were used to shoot “Ché 1&2″, “The Informant!” and “Girlfriend Experience”… so we had to prepare new RED ONE M-X cameras for “Knockout”.
The 1st round of customer M-X upgrades have begun.
Here is a reminder of what the images can look like from this sensor. This is ISO 2000 at T 1.3. No noise reduction whatsoever.
