  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

This may just be another example of why it may be a shame if all the theaters are on the road to convert to digital projection. I would think perhaps at least part of the reason that the look was acentuated into a softer look was do to the film out (it no doubt added some nice texture and softened the edge).

There is certainly no question that RED and a film out is a wining combination for many reasons. But isn't it also kind of ironic that RED is contributing to a portion of films demise on one side, while at the same time feeding off of one of its strengths here in this example? Not being overtly negative in that statement, but just an interesting observation...

Looking forward to seeing those results in the theater... with a 'film out', of course!

P.S: and yes, there is always the: RED, to film out, to 2K/4K scan, to digital projection route... but that may be even more ironic...
 
First time I hear about Pana getting Reds... about time... this is yet an other landmark that is very telling.
Congrats Red on both the project and the Panavising of Red Ones
 
Great news for New Mexico to be able to attract such productions, and great news for RED. Anyone know who they are renting from? In NM there still seem to be very few rentable REDs? Any ideas anyone?

I heard a rumor that Panavision is providing the lenses, so they added a PV mount to the cameras.

It's true - they're using Panavised REDs. Panavision is in the process of fully Panavising a bunch more for the LA market... and they're barking up all the right trees for accessory design and rehousing.

They purchased 6 new cameras - no rentals here... You wouldn't be able to "Panavize" rental anyway...

PV lenses on Eli

PV lenses on Eli

I thought that Don Burgess had gone with Master Primes. Guess I was wrong. They are shooting on CF cards. They bought 125 of them.
On the original test they shot Eastman 5217 stock.

I would like to know if they are shooting PV who did the mount conversion.
 
ROFL... that is hilarious. 8GB or 16GB? It would either be $20k or $62k though, I guess when you have budget for stock you might find ways to spend it anyway.

Must be nice, rofl... here I still struggle to have enough cards when I shoot my own stuff on P2s. :)
 
Congrats on "Eli".


If the Panavision news is true, this could be the tipping point of Hollywood's complete acceptance of RED as the new standard going forward.

I'm on various sets every week, and I'll tell ya, RED is in all kinds of conversations. Pilots, Indies, Commercials, Features, new businesses starting up... I'm so proud of what RED has accomplished and happy to have gotten involved early on.

What a great community we have developed. Rock on.

Thanks for the info Peter :)

Cheers from Japan (where Panavision has recently bought some Reds as well)!

Yeh kinda like the movie "australia" alot of people who lived in that time love the movie. Others found that it dragged on. Ausies like it though, hahah of course.
 
Please correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Panavision end up with a couple of early Reds (under the 1000 serial #) when they acquired another Rental Company a little more than a year or more ago. I am sorry that I forgot the name of the company but it I can't remember for the life of me. It was a big deal here on Red User and elsewhere. I would appreciate the clarification. My point is that they did not just get in the game, but they have obviously upped their ownership, commitment to third party development and public profile.

On topic though, "M II S" gets all the pub (as it it should), but I really got into "Dead Presidents" and "American Pimp"! Which reminds me to get "From Hell" and watch it again...
 
Panavision Australia have RED's and they are working them hard!
Good on them I say, very wise move.

oooh and Awesome news Jim, just Awesome !

Who ever is bagging RED now will be looking like fools in a year or 2 when they are shooting them exclusively.

It's just life.
 
Nice to know this. Congrats.

It must be because of Jada. :-)
"Boyz n the hood" was also memorable from those days.
