HBO Entourage

You mean the 17-50 Pro?

Yup.

Guilty. I mistyped.

I meant the Pro 17-50mm.

Thanks for the correction, Curran.

The team at Red really seems to love that new zoom.

it was supposed to be cut in at 1:21.. because you all know #21 is such an important number, but i think the fade in shifted it 1 second, which together in itself is ironically another hint...

prerecord?

Looks like an Tattoo Epic when I grow up I want to be like Dino he is my hero.

prerecord?

Two issues with this - The 1:21 was shifted forward to 1:22 and, it clearly is not big enough to live up to #21's hype!

prerecord?

We've had prerecord since the first day of the Red One. This must be a NEW feature to have so much hype!

the shoot was pretty straight forward, actually it was a stil shoot that we piggy backed onto, so we really only worked for a few hours...i invited jarred up to the helipad to watch a bit, it was great to see him out on the front lines with the troops...(he pretended to bring me a hard drive to get through security , it was classic...)

glad you enjoyed it, if you watch HBO then you will also see Promos for Hung, which were also shot with RED#0031 MX and also for First Blood, which parts of those promos were shot with red#0023 MX also by crash- we were on the hung job on the same day so could not be in two places at once.

logistically, for Entourage, we had the RED#0031 MX on a technocrane and the film cameras were on a dolly and sticks...so any big moves were done with the RED, like the push through to downtown and the overhead stuff...

I love how it works so seamlessly...please reference this promo to all of your clients that doubt the quality of the red and its ability to mix with 35mm..

enjoy, and thanks again for the kind words.

finally, i think we put a couple of these Entourage shots in the NAB reel, so if you were paying attention there, you had already seen a couple of those shots....but don't tell TW/WB/HBO
