Red on the front page of a midwest newspaper...

[hunterrichards]

Just wrapped a few weeks ago on an all Red indie feature. I thought you guys would get a kick out of this. It seems that the midwest craves indie film production.... I was a bit suprised to find my self on the front page of the IOWA review.


About the production:
"Winning Favor" is an indie basketball film based on a true story. It is set to be completed in early 2009.
About the Red:
There were no major problems with the Red during the entire shoot (I even switched to build 16 halfway through:weight_lift: ) It was a pleasure working with the system and I don't plan on using anything else for films like this.

For some screen grabs and clips from the film, please refer to my blog: lightplusmotion.com

Awesome!, RED on skates! That reminds me of some of the first pictures of a RED ONE prototypes recording to CF.

Your silly. I actually just got back from Rwanda with 10 hours of footage to cut into a 10 minute promo for a non-profit.:help:

I was having issues convincing the janitors that the skates..errr.... dollies... were OK for use on gym floors. I had to put a white piece of gaff tape with "PROFESSIONAL DOLLY SYSTEM" on it for them to buy it. Maybe Element Technica should put stickers on skates and sell them as a personal dolly system, with 15mm + 19mm support of course.

I was pretty diligent at logging the footage. I hope to have it all cut, polished and ready to go to DVD in 2 months. The Red wasn't actually used on the Rwanda non-profit gig, but a tape camera instead (for many reasons, but mostly because of size, cost and lack of crew) Next time I will use a mini-RED.

I do have to say that shooting aerials over the Rwandan hills is a blast with any camera.

This guy has confidence.

I'd rather break myself than the RED.
