Sample footage request

[Mark Phelan]

All,

I'm scouring the sites for good 1080p footage shot on Red for a class I'm presenting at next week. I've downloaded quicktimes of "Knowing", "Che", "Angels and Demons", "G.I. Joe", but I'm looking for others. Would love to get a 1080p copy of anything that would fit well to impress a bunch of high school kids, a very tall order. Any suggestions or directions to urls that you think would be nice, post 'em.

Thanks,
Mark

Try PMing Jarred or Ted and see if they still have footage from their reel from IBC. And don't forget "My Bloody Valentine 3D" was primarily shot on the Red. And in 3D no less.

And if you want a 720p version of an entry I sent in to Doritos' Superbowl Ad contest, you can download it here. http://vimeo.com/2259563

I did contact Red, but nothing is available at the moment. I'd love to use that reel, but there were some copyright issues that I remembered Jim mentioning. No problem, I'll work with what I can find. I'll look up the Doritos commercial. Thanks.

Why do you need to impress them?

Why do you need to impress them?

I don't "need" to impress them, but rather "want" the experience to leave a good and fun impression. Having been the parent of four teenagers, I realize that there is nothing that CAN impress a teenager, since they know everything anyway, if you understand. As Mark Twain once said, "When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years."

Hah! I remember those days. I remember my first short movie that I shot and I thought it was amazing and it was going to win all of this money. Looking back on it...it really, REALLY sucks. lol.

I think kids are living in a time when technological innovation is almost a common occurrence, the wow factor is maybe not quite there. But if you stick them on an island for a week with none of it and tell them to survive, suddenly their eyes are wide open to how extraordinary some of the technology they are surrounded with really is. Not sure you'll be able to conduct that experiment with your class because of insurance purposes, but it would be fun huh?

Absolutely! Back in 1983, when we worked with our church's youth group, we took them on a 400 mile bike ride down the Blue Ridge Parkway. The rules imposed were no electronic devices, meaning radios, cassette tape decks, no watches and no candy. It was a shock for everyone, adults included, but it was a great learning experience for all. I continue to hear from these "kids" today about how it changed their lives. It's good to stretch outside our comfort zone.
