Footage I shot of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan on the RED ONE Digital Cinema Camera. I edited this piece together (using some footage from my previous Afghanistan clips) as a demo to show the capabilities of this new technology, and how it can bring quality, scalability, and longevity back to combat zone footage unseen since WWII/Viet Nam era. The actual resolution of the footage is 4096x2048.

It is my hope that the DoD shows interest in assembling a specially trained team of service-members to film on this new equipment and provide footage to disseminate back to the public at a quality this generation deserves, both home and abroad.

Camera = RED ONE
Lens = Angenieux 20-120 T2.9

Opsie.....blush. Knew it had to be a zoom. How is the 2.9/Red in low light?
MrGlory 2 months ago

The shots of the F-15 and the Airman taxiing the helicopter are probably the lowest you'd want to go (the vingnetting on the F15 shot is natural--not done in post), and I feel the grain was mostly manageable at that point. Lots of mountains around made "magic hour" last a while and I was only able to film approaching dusk anyway. I've seen some pretty low prices on this particular lens, and though I wouldn't reccomend it for "run-n-gun" like I was doing (it's huge and heavy) I wouldn't hesitate to use it on a personal film. I liked the look it captures.

Mr. Glory great idea! I also feel the same way about getting HD quality footage of you guys as well. If you dont mind me asking is the red your?
MrGlory 26 days ago

Yes, I am in the National Guard, my civilian career is filming.
Brandon Vaidean 26 days ago

thats awesome! have you got results with what you are trying to accomplish with the HD in the military?
MrGlory 26 days ago

The hard part has been finding the "right" person who's in any position to consider this opportunity. Just recently I've been interviewed by a couple magazines and that has led to more exposure to the right folks in a round-about way so we'll see if that right person takes notice. In the end there's probably more opportunity to do this as a civilian photo-journalist, but I don't think that is the right way when it's all said and done. I think this should be something done from the service-members perspective, there's a lot coming from the outside already. Most of what is done by troops is on very low quality cameras and that's why I want to get a special team to travel around capturing history on the medium it deserves.

What file format did you upload this to Vimeo?

The clarity of the video is amazing... moreso, than standard (1440x720) HD uploaded that I have seen on video. Does the Red One make that big of difference even when reduced to a codec that makes it "uploadable" to Vimeo?
MrGlory 19 days ago

I uploaded a 1280x720 (letterboxed from 1280x640) H.264. But yes, it's more a factor of the RED footage being simply that amazingly clear/smooth when focused correctly. You should check out something downrezzed to 1080P (try redrelay.net) for an even more impressive display of the RED's capabilities. Here's a still at 1080, a little soft focus-wise but you'll get an idea of the smooth look to it even at low light: img359.imageshack.us/img359/262/allsquiet1080kg3.jpg

Great idea, love the images, especially the everyday stuff. I'm a big fan of everyday life and situation and people that get overlooked. To have this at such an amazing quality (I can't believe you are shoot video at the same quality as my Nikon). Hope you get to shoot a lot more, this is gonna be a great document for later, and my guess is not that much later.
