Willis was supposed to get $196,404 to direct the flick, budgeted at $20 mil.<BR/><BR/>The lawsuit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, claims "Willis abruptly and without notice terminated his services as director for personal reasons and walked off the set." The suit doesn't get more specific.<BR/><BR/>The suit seeks more than $4 mil in damages.<BR/><BR/>Willis' legal pit bull, Marty Singer, tells us the suit is "absurd" and that the movie collapsed because the producers didn't have the money to pay anyone. Singer says the producers were required to salary money in an escrow account, but never did. He also says Willis will sue the producers for the fee they promisedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34411274.post-89335681729509489522009-02-18T17:30:00.000-06:002009-02-18T17:30:00.000-06:00http://www.red.com/faq/http://www.red.com/faq/Alexandyr Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05358689836161734165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34411274.post-88293174172542378462009-02-18T17:26:00.000-06:002009-02-18T17:26:00.000-06:00"I'm no cinematographer, but I play one on LaMovBl..."I'm no cinematographer, but I play one on LaMovBlog."<BR/><BR/>I'll take a stab at that.<BR/><BR/>The RED ONE camera is a digital cinema camera that captures footage in much higher resolution than HD. Basically, it allows movie production companies to shot digitally rather than on film. Kinda hip, in other words.<BR/><BR/>On an HD video camera, the image can be captured with 1920 horizontal pixels. Pretty sharp. (That means its super clean on your new HDTV.)<BR/><BR/>Red's cameras are sharper, according to the FAQs on RED.com. Red's 4K camera captures 4000 horizontal pixels. Their company also has an EPIC 5K, which captures 5000. And a 6K, a 28K, etc.<BR/><BR/>What's the advantage of capturing in higher and higher resolution, and when is it really (and truly) necessary? I'll let CL and the real cinematographers answer that.<BR/><BR/>How'd I do? Somebody give me a grade.Alexandyr Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05358689836161734165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34411274.post-62967727066378741462009-02-18T13:53:00.000-06:002009-02-18T13:53:00.000-06:00OK...don't want to sound ig'nant, but what is a RE...OK...don't want to sound ig'nant, but what is a RED camera shoot?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34411274.post-29240950394708038652009-02-18T10:05:00.000-06:002009-02-18T10:05:00.000-06:00What do you mean, Patrick!?

R.E.D. in the S.B.C., baby!<BR/><BR/>I wish we did have more films here though. My spidey sense says that the Brolin/Wright incident did more harm than we thought. Maybe not, maybe we should do a local incentive on top of the state incentive (which itself needs to be updated to compete with other states like Mississippi and Michigan).<BR/><BR/>I won't speak too much, but a post house is in the works here in town. Look out for that to be online late, late 2009 if all goes to plan! ;)Chris Lyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12206736877781622369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34411274.post-81553188241220261682009-02-17T17:47:00.000-06:002009-02-17T17:47:00.000-06:00Yo, J.B.!
