Changing tent & Red

[Martin Weiss]

From what I understand, lots of film gear can be used on the Red One - matte box, lenses, follow focus.

Now, from my focus pulling days I still have a changing tent for sizes up to 35mm film. I imagine that this should work fine with current and near-future CF cards. It should work fine on the soon- to- be 16gb and super 16gb cards, and likely also on 35gb cards. But what about 65gb cards or the 320gb drive?Surely, they must be too big? Will there be a Red tent?

Well you know as CF cards are impervious to light leaks and exposure from the sun so I'd think a changing tent would be at best irrelevant and at worst would make you look kinda silly. Or were you kidding? :detective2:

I hope to God he was kidding...

Now a BLACKOUT tent for video village is another story.

Village Blackout has some wonderful ones.

Of course he wasn't joking! As we Swedes would say...He's Norwegian :sarcasm:

I thought the new Red 65GB card had a larger seal to prevent light leaks. The problem occurs when transferring the footage from the 65GB card to your RAID. I think Red uses the NAB tent when making the transfer and i was told it will soon be available on the Red store in a slightly smaller version.

BTW- this is the real reason for the camera delays, solving the light leak on the larger media.

You are mean Greg.. That guy's writing Jim as we speak

[Yaque Silva-Doyle]

wait, I'm confused isn't the real problem with the footage being scratched when you remove the CF cards.,.,;!

 

[Petr Dvorak]

And dont forgert to peek in lenses with your torch during shooting!
Also from time to time is recomended to change your underwear ... cold shower helps too...

 

[Martin Weiss]

I thought the super16gb card should have given it away, but for the record: yes, I was kidding.

(and since I am on record: I am not Norwegian either, just live here

 

[Ed Blythe]

This just blew my mind.

 

[Adam Levins]

I am looking forward to the 70mm ops I mean 70gb cards

 

[Craig Meadows]

In the old days we used to joke with interns that if you dropped the tape the footage would go out of focus.

That's just mean...

I almost believed it!

:waaa:

I always carefylly wrap red EXPOSED tape around the edges of the drives -God knows I wouldn't want the images to leak out.

Make sure you tell the Lab to only use RED branded chemicals and make sure the CF cards get a good rinse before drying them.

Now can anybody tell me if I need to use an extended development time for the REDdrives? The first time I tried it I couldn't see the results clearly, or at all actually so I'm thinking I may have under-developed??

Also, I've read some mumblings about being able to reuse Cards and Drives - WTF. Why anybody would possibly want to do that is beyond me....:w00t:

 

[Martin Weiss]

From what I understand, you can re-use it, as long as you only do one-light prints.

Now, cross-processing won´t be enabled before build 16...

How light-proof are the SSD modules?

 

[Hrvoje Simic]

If you wipe them only with a soft cloth in circular patterns they are pretty safe.

But you want to keep them away from magnets.

 

[Martin Weiss]

If you wipe them only with a soft cloth in circular patterns.

Warning: do not, I repeat: not, wipe media in circular motions as this messes up the Bayer pattern.

 

[Robert Frank]

I want to stock up on the super16gb CF cards, is storing in the refrigerator needed for these?
