RED in Texas

[Dustin Cross]

Aloha,

Well NAB has come and gone. What's the word on an Austin Red get together?

Did anyone else go to NAB and see the cameras and footage. I know Mike Curtis was there. Saw him a couple times, but never had the chance to talk. Anyone else?

I am a student at SFA and have some experience with dvpro production using an older model sony dv cam. I shot docu still for my school feature length film along with continuity, art direction, and camera grabs for end titles. If a meeting time shows up that I can make I would love to join in if i could get a ride.

P.S.

I am absolutely stoked about this camera.

I'm a freelance cinematographer based in Austin. I shoot almost exclusively high level stock imagery for my personal collection represented by Getty Images. I just sold my Arri 2C 35mm package and am looking hard at the Red One, but also other HD packages in 1080 and 720. Anyone out there who would meet and visit with me about this switch? I plan to purchase my own package and travel with it. It's critical I select the correct camera, but I'm very new to the electronic side of things.

No board for New Mexico yet, so I'm trolling Texas (I'm from Texas) to see what's available. My husband is the writer/director of our team, and I'm producing. We're looking for a Red One, or a DP with one, for a micro-budget feature shoot, dates TBD. We'd rather not wait to receive a Red One, so if someone out there has one and is interested in selling, let me know (2nd choice would be to hire someone with a Red One, as the DP...not sure if our budget can handle this, though).

Thanks.

Hey gang,

I'm an independent Austin filmmaker (red reservation holder #396) and I was curious is anyone else out there would be interested in creating a "RedShare" program where we could call on each other for tradeout days on 2 camera shoots? would be a lot cheaper than each of us renting from each other.

obviously we'd want to start off heavily (heavily!) insured and maybe even start out by piggybacking on each others projects to make sure nothing goes wrong ...but it seemed like it might be a cheap way to get more bang for buck out of our Red bucks.

Post here is you're interested, and if we gen up enough interest, I'll create a mailing list or something.

Also, what happened to the idea of a meet-up? anyone still interested?

I'm game, and it sounds like (reading the forum) that a venue down south would be preferred...?

I would prefer a Thursday evening, myself, but am usually fairly flexible.
What's better for everyone else, weekend or midweek?

I'm here in Houston as a producer looking for a DoP with a red for shooting later this year. Just finishing up a feature I shot end of last year with an Andromeda system. Trying to stay on the cutting edge...

Will also have a few features next year. I like to plan ahead on what I will be working with so I can get post ready.

By the way, was there ever a meet of redusers in Austin? If it can be planned on a weekend I would certainly drive over. Maybe Mike can bring some 4K footage to look at....

Hey REMY, I was really bummed when I had the be out of town when "The Waiter" screend at WF. I really want to see it, the trailer looked great.

Jason called a few weeks ago and said you guys had a project coming up and wanted to talk with me about it. My RED will be in the January 10th shipment.
