RED in the UK?

[Solomon Chase]

Hello there UK'ers. I've been asked to shoot a video for a band from Doncaster, UK. The only problem is I can't bring all my equipment from Atlanta on the plane.

I'm looking for someone with any film equipment (lighting, jib, dolly, steadicam, etc) to use for the shoot. At the very least I need a lighting kit.

I will be shooting the video with a prototype from one of RED's upcoming competitors, along with some super rare lenses like an F0.85 and F0.95 prime. Because I may not have the camera shipped in time for the shoot, I would like to arrange for a RED camera, just in case.

Because the video budget is very small, in addition to money, I can barter my web/flash design, color correction, or VFX services for use of your equipment. I've been doing this 6+ years, and used to work for a high-end Atlanta design agency before going freelance.

I designed the website for Cinevate ( http://www.cinevate.com ) and just did the cinematography, VFX, and color correction for the following 48 hour film: http://vimeo.com/1305149

also, if anyone has contacts outside of REDuser, send em' on!

Thanks,

Solomon: Considering that you are asking the Reduser community for help.. Can you give us some information about the upcoming "competitor" for RED? Brand or company involved ? etc... I think all of us here on the forum would appreciate knowing what our business or creative options might be in the future.

Maybe "alternative" might be a better word than competitor?
Higher dynamic range, smaller form factor, but lower resolution.

I'll be doing a detailed post with footage and images soon.

Any other RED owners? Trying to have as many options / backup plans as possible for the shoot.

Hi Solomon,

Are you famous Solomon that did the slow mo rain scene on the HV20?

If so, did a very good job.

Best of luck on your music video in UK.

Cheers...

P.S. Still would like to know what is the "Alternative" camera you are planning to use for your shoot?

That's me =) It's crazy how many people have seen that video.

Thanks for the well wishes. Like I said, I'll be posting tons of info on the cam after the shoot.
