Welcome to the Revolution!

Afterglow Digital Cinematography offers rental, on-set and post-production support for the revolutionary RED One digital cinema camera in Cape Town, South Africa.

The camera produces stunningly clean images that rival 35mm film while offering the instant accessibility, flexibility and affordability of a digital workflow.  

Top 5 reasons to go RED:

1.)  The Mysterium sensor:  4k super35mm-sized sensor offers unparalleled sharpness and cinematic depth of field.  Take advantage of the world's best optics with RED One's PL mount.  Benefit from the anti-aliasing and reduced noise of shooting 4k for HD or SD out.  Turn a medium shot into a close up without sacrificing quality.  Pull the cleanest key you've ever seen.  

2.)  Portable and modular:  The 35mm-style on-board batteries, compact recording media and modular design make Red a great tool for diverse filming applications.  No refrigerator-sized hard drives for recording.  Scale it up or down, rig it to a crane, car or Steadicam, RED excels.

3.)  REDCode RAW:  4K would be extremely cumbersome to record and archive were it not for REDCode RAW, a wavelet-based compression that allows for 10 minutes of 4K or 40 minutes of 2K recording onto 16GB CF cards or up to three hours of 4k recording onto on-board the RED Drive.  The files remain RAW, meaning that the images can be drastically manipulated in post without breaking down.

4.)  Workflow:  The Final Cut Pro integration will benefit many editors, and the wavelet-based compression means that real time extraction of proxies embedded in the R3D files can occur without time wasted transcoding. Redcine is a powerful freeware grading system for all productions.  Don't believe that?  Check out Red's own Mythbuster's video.

5.)  Price:  The price points for RED equipment are 1/5 to 1/10 that of comparable digital cinema cameras.  Enough said.
