Biggest Camera Problem So Far

[number6]

Just paint the body white with red accents... People will think it's an XL1 and leave you alone. :devil:

Heh heh, sounds like a plan. But I think we need something to hide the smell. I'm thinking there are people out there that can smell a RED a mile away.

What has happened to decorum? To one's right to walk doun the location without being swarmed by future Paparats? I want camouflage for mine, else I'll never get any work done.

LOL!!

Great idea for a Red accessory - a big plastic "shell" that you snap on to your red so it looks like .... an F900!!

Dear God - RED HAS GROUPIES.

This is the best upgrade to date.

They are called Reddies.

 

[Justin Kirchhoff]

I hope I have some Reddies around my #813......I can show them a thing or two.

 

[zak forrest]

im gonna cover mine in cardboard and tape, make it look like a pos

 

[Rob Lohman]

Man... that's so unprofessional of those reddies, don't they know the on-set rules? Sheesh....

I had the same reaction in the same area with my HVX year. Then the cops show up and asked for a permit. How did you guys get away with carrying a loaded RED? Did you have a permit? I seem to always get a hassle.

Rotti/shepard mix and large frame colts.

People started screaming "IT'S THE RED!! IT'S THE RED!!"

That is not the screams of excitement, but the scream when giant llizzards attack or communist. This is scream of terror.
Its the red, run away, hurry before it comes for the kids.

You may have rotten tomatos thrown at you. Not sure what is better... :biggrin:

People started screaming "IT'S THE RED!! IT'S THE RED!!"

Today was the first day we were really outside in the city - and we almost needed security.

It's a CAMERA with .... FANS!!!

Well, there is a simple fix for that :
go into the menu and turn the fans to "silent mode".
This way, the fans will scream very loudly as long as the camera isn't recording, but they'll completely shut up as soon as you start filming.
:tongue:

We filmed the National Folk Festival in Butte, Montana over the weekend. The Red became a bit of a sideshow. Aside from the curiosity of people in the business, others came up and asked permission to take a picture of the camera. "Sure, why not," we responded, "it's taking pictures of you."

I had a Park Service Reddie the other day...

I was certainly not shooting :whistling: on some Park Service land that I didn't have a permit for, when a ranger wandered up.

He was about to fine me, for lacking said permit, when he saw the RED, got super excited, and we ended up having a long chat about it and the Nikon glass I was using.

Let me off the fine when I promised to show him some of the footage I shot

Gotta love this camera sometimes.

When I lived in Montana we got some shirts made up that said "Montanans love it in the Butte"... they didn't sell very well...

A lot of Montanans are irritated by the T-shirts in Butte that read "Butte, America." They sell well here.

I shut down a whole production company simply by walking through their back lot with Red #296.
Never felt so sexy before.

These tales are wonderful.
Airports. Watch out for traveling with the RED. I have yet to travel without several people spotting the cases and asking if it's the RED.

After Entourage shot here, I happen to be on the same flight with the crew back to LA. I was wearing a red RED shirt. That and the RED pelican coming down the carousel, the crew guys saw the RED logo. It was awesome hearing the nasty remarks at the gate in Honolulu and then the whoas at LAX.

I was in Filmore, Utah (population 12), wearing my Red T-shirt at the Chevron / Arby's. A guy came up to me and asked where he could buy a T-shirt for himself. He also knew about the camera, but said he couldn't imagine affording one. He also said if he couldn't own one, he wanted to at least look cool sporting the T-shirt.

The Red T-shirt as a fashion statement! Go figure.
