  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

RED ONE, The True Workaholic..

Well Cails Red at 2612 hours would be:

Roughly 1000 feet = 10mins so 6000 feet = 1 hour:

2612 Hours x 6000feet an hour: 15,672,000 feet of film.
 
Jarred:
17,796,000 feet and $11,567,400

Jari Mutikainen:
17,082,000 feet and $11,103,300

Dino @ 3400 hours:
20,400,000 feet and a whopping $13,260,000



((((Just realised these are on times not run times, so actual record times are much lower!! so great figures but not true to reality unfortunately!))
I'll leave them for posterity.

I nicknamed my camera the "Mailman" cause neither rain, nor sleet nor snow nor the brutal Louisiana summer could keep it from delivering the checks :biggrin:

Haha, a certain retired NBA athlete will be glad his moniker lives on.

On the crazy damage stories . . . I saw a DP dip a Red into a river deep enough that the lens got wet and it kept rolling! Obviously had to check that shot carefully, no issues. Pretty impressive for an electronic device.
 
my number is more like 4000 + lets say another 2000 for the original camera ( i bet it is more, when i get home i will find out exactly when i turned it in and i will have a more accurate number)...so that is about 6k hours

we typically have the camera on for about 14 hours, and we typically shoot about 3-4 hours of content in that time. so lets say for every hour of the camera being on, we get 17 minutes and change of content...(60/3.5)

lets correct for the camera being turned on during prep, so lets take off 1000 hours. so that leaveS 5k hours divided by 3.5 = 1428 shoot hours or 85,714 minutes x 100 feet per minute = 8,571,428 feet of film shot....x the .65 per foot number ( which is scary to me since the last time i produced a big film job i was paying .35 with my discount and .11 to process)... so let's say 8,5,71.428 x .85 = which is raw stock and processing and the number i saved my clients is... $7,285,714.29...

someone should figure out the tape costs for the telecine and also the tape cost if it was shot on hd tape....

You should just tell them that you'll split the difference and call it a day. I'm sure they'll be happy with that option!
 
My camera is #6153, had it for over a year, and the counter is like 147. That is definitely a random number, considering that in this year I shot 4 features, and numerous other projects with this camera - looked at my calendar, estimated that the camera has worked 4 days every week for the past 60 weeks. Even if the conuter was calculating ONLY the recording time, it couldn't be at 147.

Do the RED 16GB CF cards have an expiry date? A number of cycles? Because they crap out on me in exact order as I was buying them, after many-many-many uses. They just stop mounting. I don't complain, because they probably have been cycled through formatting and filling up again a few hundred times.
(hmm.. 4 days per week, approx. 10 camera rolls per day, x 4 cards, that's roughly 600 card formats in the last 60 weeks for each card).

That's definitely more than 147 hours. )) Could the counter start again at "0" after reaching "9999"? Just like those older cars?

My camera is like my second wife, I notice any little shifts in her behaviour. Recently the pitch of the cooling fan started sounding SLIGHTLY differently. Not the different speeds that we all know remind us of an arirplane shifting gears before take-off, but an overall different sound. Something that you would notice only after you've heard the same pitch for many times, and this time something is slightly off.

I am concerned.
 
Fans can wear off and should be replaced from time to time on professional equipment.
 
My camera says 161 hours. It's been on 3 features, 2 shorts and a lot of commercials, infomercials and educational videos, so I'm not quite sure what's going on. That number is way off. Could it have been reset when the power board was fried recently? Or is it reset when the camera is MXed?
 
It's funny, usually for electronic equipment (or anything else that has a counter for that matter) thelower the count the higher is the resale value. I don't think any piece of gear is valued by the HIGH number on the counter.
Another REDvolution.:nads:
 
same boat here,

I've made about a hundred set in two years(#3743) : 2 features, 2 tv, lots of videoclip, commercials, and shorts, and my counter is soo low : 363h I would have thought I was more 1000-1500ish.

I remember my dvx and hvx which have made a complete cycle and got back to a few hours each.
