Anyone else in the SF / Bay Area - getting a RED?

I plan on shooting a lot with my new RED camera - 3 months in 2007 to produce several HD nature DVDs.

However, if there are some talented DPs, producers that are doing commercial work or extra-ordinary documentaries or Indi-features that have large commercial potential - feel free to contact me.

In general, it would be great to network and help each other out with tech issues - so at least let's get e-mail list together and maybe meet once a month for networking.
 
Hey Greg,

I'm just 3 hours south of the Bay Area, near San Luis Obispo. I used to live/work up there, and I still work there regularly. Donatello and a few others are also in the Bay Area.

Among other things, I shoot a lot of nature, adventure travel, alternative sports, and documentaries.

I'm all about networking...
 
Hey Gibby,

Sounds great! I've seen some of your work over on Mammoth HD, and plan to be joining you there soon in HD. I have a few DVcam stock footage DVDs over at Artbeats myself and plan to expand into HD.

Also, you invited me awhile back when you get you RED to come visit, I hope to take you up on that. I plan on moving back to Santa Barbara or San Luis Obispo in the next year or two - I miss the beach, what can I say - watching my own DVDs only make me want to move back.

Well, lets get Donatello to say hello, and we'll start our e-mail list for north of LA CAL... with our first meeting to be in San Luis and first shoot of RED shortly after... I volunteer to be first AC. What do you say?

Oh and I can bring my 2 Nikon lenses that a few have recommended if you don't have them already, Gibby - my Nikon 17-35 F2.8 and Nikon 80-200 f2.8 - but you'll have to bring the RED adapter.
 
RED 103 will be in berkeley ... hope to be heading down to see Gibby & RED 8 sometime after NAB ... i'm off to NAB April 16-18th ... NY 19-30th .. then free after that ... car pooling south is possible ... OK Greg is AC ... i'll be the food PA ...
 
Yeah Greg...the Central Coast is an easy place to live and a hard place to leave. Nice pace...and lots of options!

I have a bunch of SD and HD collections on Mammoth HD. Yesterday Mammoth HD distributed a press release on the new RED Footage Collections that me and some other RED shooters will be offering through them. The release was picked up widely today by scores of motion media trade web sites. There are 3 new pages up on the MHD web site for RED stock footage. Almost all the photos on those pages are my DSLR stills as spaceholders until I get the first RED frames/footage up there. Here's link to the main MHD RED footage page. The other two pages are on the link buttons. Link: http://www.mammothhd.com/MHD_RED1.html

Cool, bring those Nikon lenses. I don't have them, but I will have the Nikon adapter. I have a few Nikon primes we can shoot with.

I'll also have the RED 300mm and a few cine primes we can slap on it. Donatello, if you have some glass you'd like to test out, bring 'em. Gonna be fun!!!
 
Hey Gibby,

That sounds great! I'll bring the lenses, and Donatello can bring the clam chowder! I'm also very happy to see Mammoth HD, taking the lead in offering RED footage at a premium. The RED part of the website looks great.
 
Mammoth is looking impressive, never been there myself. Have to add that to my "need to visit" list...

Hi Gibby!
Your press release is getting noticed, a producer in Newport Beach forwarded it to me because he knew of my involvement in the Red project. It looked very nice. Looks like a worthwhile stock footage project, best of luck in your project!

Red 1030 is in the south bay.

Hey Donatello, I'm going to be at NAB on 4/16. I'll see you there!

A Nor Cal/Silicon Valley Red user group is great! I'm in...

I'd like to carpool with you guys too. I'll bring my Nikon 50mm f/1.4 AI and 85mm f/1.4 AF-D to test on Gibby's Red. :sarcasm:

Sorry...it took me awhile to notice this post of yours Brian! Thanks...

I think stock footage from RED One should be a serious consideration for the business plan of every independent RED One owner or renter. Quality 4k and 2k footage in various desirable frame rates should have a solid demand for licensing - and a long shelf life in the case of 4k. Obviously 24fps will always be in demand, but for certain fast-moving subjects (sports, nature, etc.) 4k/60fps (via RAW/raid), 2k/60fps onboard and 720p/120fps onboard should license real well. Time lapse and POV also have good market potential. Almost any subject matter imaginable has the ability to license out, but some obviously license better than others. I love shooting stock footage in my free time. Its the resource that just keeps on giving. I call it "mailbox money" because once you've shot it, you keep getting surprised at your mailbox by unexpected checks. Very few guys will have their business just be stock footage, but it is a great addition to a good shooter's business portfolio.
 
You Nor Cal/SV guys can come down to the Central Coast sometime after we finish a few days of testing RED #8 in L.A., and I make my way back up to the Central Coast. That L. A. testing will happen immediately after I get the camera. I'll keep you posted on this thread. Gonna be fun!
 
Hi roubaix,

Welcome. When you get back from nab - shoot me an e-mail and maybe we can can set up lunch or happy hour with the rest of the group.

Gibby, I see you are getting ready for your shoot. I'd love to offer my to Nikon zooms 17-35 and 80-200mm. If not the first pro week that you are setting up (sounds like in So Cal)... but maybe the 2nd week in Central Cal. I really want to see some sunset and waves shots. Anyway, please goto www.wavesdvd.com and e-mail me and let me know what is up. Thanks.
 
Email sent. I'd love to get together with the rest of the bay area Red users.

We can take a little field trip around the Central Coast and shoot a wide range of subjects: ocean, nature, beaches, people, vineyards, etc. Let's talk via email. When you first email me, please put "Nor Cal group" in the subject line.

I'll keep you Nor Cal guys posted on developments via email...

Cheers!
