my question is, if you had that problem, when bond company don't wanted to insure the production because of the RED camera. They say that RED is not reliable, and they want to shoot the movie with other camera. What is the solution?

thanks
 
as a rental house I can't change bond company, that comes from the production side.
 
the reason why they think RED is not reliable, because they had that experience of loosing all day long work because of the red drive crash. Not to say that as a rental house, bond company won't talk to you, they talk to the producer, and the producer has no choice just pull the plug on you. I think my question is valid and I just wonder if anyone has some real answer or experience on similar case. This is part of the future to move to bigger film production.

...and they haven't ever lost some rolls of film?

Nice thing about Red is at the end of the day (or sooner) you have everything backed up and triple-checked... can't do that with film.

If the crew does their job properly and backs up footage during the day, this shouldn't happen. Worst case scenario is that the last scene is lost and shooting can continue on CF card. It's therefore crew and producers responsibility to ensue best practice is followed, and insurance cover is possible because best work practice is written into the insurance contract. I know that's how it's worked on shoots I've done.
