Onfilm July 2007 Crossing the Line Exclusive

[Scott Webster]

Zane Holmes ( a Kiwi version of Mike Curtis) has done an incredible article on the making of Crossing the Line for our local screen industry magazine, Onfilm.

I wish I could post the cover shot (maybe Jim can as he is the credited with the photo) which pictures the Red One prototype with the Optimo 12x Zoom and the rest of the rig held together by a scaff pipe cage, bungy cords and tie downs!

Reading the article it is truly impressive what Red, Peter Jackson and Park Road managed to achieve. Even Steven Spielberg is quoted as being amazed at what they accomplished in 2 days.

 

[Robert Mott]

Not able to see the article that you are talking about. Could you post a link.

 

[Chris Gearhart]

Yeah, I would love to see it!

 

[Scott Webster]

Sorry, the article is a hard copy in the magazine.There is no online link.
Red may be able to get permission to publish extracts and photos online but I cannot. I understand some have ordered copies of the magazine previously when the Peter Jackson interview was published.

Doh!

[Brook Willard]

"Onfilm," eh?

 

[Scott Webster]

OK good news. I've been in touch with the publishers and due to various copyright issues I can't throw up the cover...but Onfilm are going to throw up the cover shot and a pdf of the article on 23 July (NZ) on their website

www.onfilm.co.nz

Errr yes! the current cover shown on the site is the June issue that links through to the July edition :usd:

 

[Chris Gearhart]

Heh heh. Naughty Gavin. So much for throwing up.

Or maybe July 23 (NZ) is July 19 (US). The exchange rate has gone crazy.

 

[Gavin Greenwalt]

Hehe. I can't be held responsible for what they put up on their own front page.

The link said "Click here to see the current issue" and despite a deceptive thumbnail... they followed through on the promise.

That Optimo is a monster, I did not realize PJ's short had so much glass involved. Hope my RED zoom holds up in comparison, and I am sure it will.

 

[Chris Forbes]

To coin a phrase.

Wow I just got a chubby....

That Optimo is a monster, I did not realize PJ's short had so much glass involved. Hope my RED zoom holds up in comparison, and I am sure it will.
