Just for fun -

So, you get your RED ONE. Power that baby up - play with the menu ... do a test or two. Then what ...?

Time to shoot something.

What will your first RED ONE shoot be?
 
probably not much since I'll be still reeling from putting out $30k or so to get going.

I might involve myself in a couple of other people's project that might want to step up to RED.
 
Well First a big wide pan of Zion national park.. Then close up with cute girl and out of foucus lights in the background.... Then after that time lapes of me celibrating the RED's arival with evential pass out..

sound like a good frist day of shooting to me. Oh and maybe brake out the car rig.
 
probably my carpet, as I switch it on :D

... but I wish to take it in to the space (Space Shuttle) and take footage of Earth, atmosphere and all that wonderfull thing there etc. in 4K, then watch it on 4K projector with my friends and be stoked with every captured detail
 
After the requisite testing, playing, pushing buttons and ogling. I'm hoping to have a short film to shoot assuming my writer comes though and there's any money left over. But since there wont be money left over, it'll be a guerilla shoot on the weekends here in Hollywood.
 
I'm planning an hommage to the Lumiere brothers famous train arrival shot. In Poland, they have a few very old humungus (that's very huge) locomotives still running regular lines. A couple friends of mine went there last year and brought back some beautiful photographs. The scenery is incredible and those trains are impressive. The wheels are the height of a man. It'll make for some beautiful images. It may not be the first thing I shoot, there will definitly be some testing first, then it depends of when I get it. This shoot is planned fot the fall. If I get the camera much earlier, I'll shoot some other stuff. I'm also planning a short maybe during the summer or in the fall at the latest, so we'll see when it's there.

Cheers,
Damien
 
Megan, my daughter. And the trees in the garden. These are the trees that show horrible macroblocking on crappy HDV cameras. They'll look lovely under REDCODE.

One of my four part seasonally themed shorts; "Summer".

Not just an idea but a true fact of life everyday around the house!!
Boys, if your single - stay that way until after your RED is delivered....
Then tell your new bride to be that your DP buddy will record your wedding in 4K!! But don't take the RED on your honeymoon to Hawaii!!
 
Once I get kitted out to dunk RED I'm hoping that I'll be able to enounter a Giant Manta Ray. I've dived over the years, having lived in Micronesia for the past 5, many hundreds of times with these incredible animals. Their fluidity and sheer grace should look fantastic coming from RED. If I only had the chance to do it all in 4K from the start, but that time will come.

Cheers,
Mark.
