  • 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 in Texas

or me...also in Austin - I'm partnering with someone with a full 35mm package - so PL mount lenses, heavy sticks, matte box, follow focus, etc.
 
Austin here too (though I work in Dallas a lot on commercials, etc); I'm going to be doing the DP for hire with equipment thing. Planning on cine-style setup with Cooke s4/i primes and all related gadgetry. I'm avalable for features, shorts, cine-syle docs, VFX shooting, commercials, etc.

Are any of y'all interested in forming a local user group to meetup regularly and exchange ideas, techniques, footage, tips/tricks, and generally hang out?

Maybe we could start a 24-hour RED-Austin short film race. ;)
 
Austin is the place to be for indie, but I'm out of good ol' San Antonio. I reserved a RED, but am still in the financial planning phase of a producing a full length feature around Nov/Dec. In fact, Wade McDonald was one of several DPs that responded to my posting. My plan is to hire a DP with a RED ONE and if finances allow, be able to keep a RED ONE for myself as well. The main reason I want to hire a DP is so that they can concentrate on the cinematography while I concetrate on directing, working with the actors, and any other issues that may arise. It's good to see that there is a strong RED presence in Texas.
 
San Antonio Red

San Antonio Red

I'm a San Antonio Director/DP mostly for TV Spots and I'm in line for Red #100. I have owned the Varicam for three and a half years and I am very much looking forward to getting the red because as good as the varicam is, it just can't compete with 35mm. My company, Apple Productions, is a complete productions house, with 4 edit suites, a shooting stage, 3d graphics and location production from DV to Varicam to 35mm. We do not plan to rent the red but we are hoping to convert our film clients to this amazing new way to shoot and I would love to work with some independent film makers offering a camera/DP package.
 
I'm in Houston about to start a new production company with some well connected folks in my hometown of New Orleans (now the 3rd biggest film town in the country). There will come a time we'll need a second Red and possibly a DP as I'm more a writer/director (I'm learning though), so I'll keep you gents in mind.
 
Aloha,

You can add me to the list of future Red owners in Austin. Just moved here from Hawaii. Mostly I'll be using the several Nikon lenses I already own and rent other lenses as needed.

Tell me when and where and I'll come to a gathering. We can do it at my house if south Austin, near the airport is convenient for people.

Hey all, Mike Curtis of HD for Indies here - I'd be happy to host in South Austin as well, I'm in Travis Heights, close to Guerro's and all kinds of good restaurants as well. I'm VERY interested in what everyone plans to do with their cameras - owner/operators, rental only, make their own movie, etc.

Ping me at mike@hdforindies.com and lets get organized on this!

I'd think a post-NAB gathering would make sense - I get back ultra late Thursday (3am Friday morning) so maybe something that weekend if that works for everybody?

I also have a bunch of uncompressed HD editing setups in the house, MAYBE we'll have something to look at when we get back...

Wow, I must have been living under a rock and missed hearing about this rig! Now I have to wait until next week to see how long it will take to get one since I missed the initial list.

We are getting ready to launch a production house in Houston and were preparing to buy several Panasonic HVX200s. With this camera on the horizon that idea might be out the window!
 
Hi, all -- I'm just in lowly College Station and am don't even expect to get on the order list for another year or so, but I'd love to hook up with people in the Red crowd. Can non-Red orderers join the club?
 
Nice to see a few Houstonians in this crowd of mostly Austinites. It would be nice to be able to cross rent with you guys on occasion. When are you scheduled to get your cameras? We won't get ours until Nov/Dec. I'm dying to do some compositing tests. I hope Plus 8 (Panavision) embraces the revolution and adds REDs to their inventory.
 
Red rental in dallas

Red rental in dallas

I'm in dallas and I've got in shoot in late May that could really make good use of the 4k image size. I'd love to rent a camera from anyone in Texas who will have one available around that time.

Please message me if you've got one and want to make some money off of it. And certainly a trip to Dallas from whereever you are would be included.
 
I replied to you. I am in Dallas. Slated for October delivery.
Maybe another RED shooter is closer to May?
