RED users in New Zealand

[Scott Webster]

Jae, you're unusual as you're only 1 of 2 owner-ops that I know trying to make the Red work in the freelance market in Auckland. I don't know if you know Mark? He's put an extraordinary amount of work into making the Red work for him when his peers are running around with PDW-700's.

Exciting times in Auckland at the moment with 2 Baselight Transfer systems installed and ImageZone launching Qtake HD. 2, 2 Red Camera dramas shooting at the same time, with another tele-feature and a NZFC feature about to go, all on Red.

Hey Craig,

I'm based in Auckland, yourself?....

Other then that I just keep my eye on seek and hope I bump into a production manager haha. What kind of work are you doing?

I work for Afterglow (www.afterglow.co.nz) we are a production and post place in Auckland - Although much more post work comes through than production.

If you feel like dropping in and having a chat some time and see what we do, give me an email at craig at afterglow dot co dot nz

I've had no luck with bumping into production managers

I know right? I have no idea how one meets a production manager, I guess you just have to get lucky...
Granted I have about as much charisma as a toothbrush so I don't really meet people full stop let alone production managers.

Hahaha totally get where your coming from, but just shake off the low charisma man, you kinda need it in this business. Just put it behind you and start talking to people because you might just get lucky.

Hiya,

We at Purple Post have a RED ONE and are currently filming NZ's first home-grown Bollywood movie. We've covered Fiji, Napier and Auckland and have another 20% of the shoot left! And then it's down to cracking the Post Production work-flow :-)

Cheers

Hey All,

We are an Auckland based production company called Blur and Sharpen. We shoot 90% of our stuff on the RED.

Sometimes we rent an HVX off Scott @ Rocket as a B Camera.

If you want to meet a friendly production manager, try Kristian Eek, I haven't seen him for a while but I gather he is working a lot with The Robbers Dog at the moment.

Would love to see some of the RED stuff coming out of NZ.

You can see some of mine here:

Its really shit compression, which I haven't had time to update it (still using old rotten flash settings that make the picture look like its growing hair).

Best
Tim

Hey Guys,

We are more than 90% into shooting our Bollywood Movie in NZ with our RED One. We are called PURPLE POST LTD and the movie is called "Pump Up The Mandali". Shot on 4K, the locations were Auckland, Napier and Fiji!
We have our own Post Production setup and are working our way into cracking the wokrflow :-)

Cheers

Jae, I am based in Wellington. If you come down this way, give me a shout. Would love to catch up.

Anybody from NZ still around?

I'm seriously considering relocating to New Zealand with my daughter and her husband since I don't want to be left behind. Is there room for one more Red One? We're in the talking stages but I'd like to learn as much as I can about opportunities in Aukland and Wellington areas.

Cheers

I'd be grateful for the getting the heads up on any job quite frankly.
