Hi to the Oz RED users. Just letting you know that I've been following RED since it's inception but didn't take the plunge until reservations opened up again in January - so I've got #1103 which I don't expect to get until Aug/Sept but I keep my fingers crossed that it will be earlier.

Just letting you know who's out there in Oz with a reservation. I'm currently based in Melbourne but am prone to travel!

Cheers

Cam

All,

I've put done a list of topics our local user group may or may not concern it's self about.
I've got these from what I've read on this thread plus a few more.
Please jump in and add, edit however you wish. I've expanded Education as example.

1. Education – who, what, resources, etc.
• Who – producers, camera assistants, DOPs, production & hire companies, professional organisations, Red owners, other private individual & organisations.
• What – basic & advanced user training, data work flow, backup, online storage & file systems
• Resources – Red Inc. & dealer network, professional organizations (e.g. SMPTE), other user (local & o/s)

2. Support infrastructure – technical support; replacement, etc

3. Professional workflow – capture, offline, online, using Redcine, software/hardware workflow products, post houses, screening, etc.

4. Production techniques - etc

5. Commercials - rates, shipping, insurance, hire accessory & support requirements, etc.

6. General – list of owners, etc.


cheers,
Dave

Just thought I'd say g'day too!

I'm an Aussie but I have recently moved to Tokyo to make films. Although I'm based in Japan I have most of my film friends etc still in Australia so there is some chance that my camera will end up being hired down there. On the flip side of that I'm the only person with a Red in Japan so it may well be booked solid here for a long time to come (fingers crossed)!

Anyway, if anyone here is traveling to Japan in the near future don't hesitate to look me up for a beer or two, you never know when you might get to film up here and if you do then you have a local Red camera ready to go!

cheers,

Paul

G'day

Happy to be part of any ANZAC Red initiative. We are NZ's largest (video) rental house and will be taking delivery of an early Red (23). Our main focus will be on 2/3" B4 Cine HD /ENG HD production due to the lack of cine lenses in the short term. We have interest from major NZ post houses in being involved in testing of the camera and workflow. I know of 4 confirmed camera orders in NZ but I expect there are more that haven't gone public yet.

We probably won't be comfortable renting the camera until our 2nd body arrives or we have confirmed cross-hire options.

It will be interesting to see if an Australasian distributor/service agent is appointed for the region

Howdy Rocketeer,

Any NZ'er is welcome as far as I'm concerned. I've worked in NZ a number of times of the past few years and I love the place! Now that I'm back in OZ though, can we swap prime ministers? I'm sure you'd love to see our wonderful "Little Johnie" doing his daily power walk across the Southern Alps.

Now, how could we arrange a well-timed avalanche?

Cheers

Are you counting Peter Jackson in those 4 confirmed orders? If not, you better make it at least 5 ;)

When we take our camera out to Park Road I'll make sure to ask him ;)
And when James Cameron arrives I'll see if they want to have a Reduser evening LOL

Hi all, OzRED is a great idea. I'm intending to go Canon glass. Was thinking of Nikon but if Birger deliver at NAB then I'm Canonising. Any thoughts? Great to be in touch. I'm #241.
