Hi guys,

in following of the original thread found here: http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=20798

at last it is my pleasure to present the Video of the "SIRENS of TI" shot with the collaboration of fellow REDUSERS and friends, listed below as well as on the credits.

It was not easy to do the shoot for various factors ranging from lighting issues been the biggest, to the absence of any gear to allow my vision to be executed, no cranes or any type of trucks, dollies etc. could be used so it was shot at its simplest form, yet I'm pleased with the results of this collaborative event, and I truly thank you all for your participation.


It was shot with six RED ONE cameras.

The lighting and sound was not controlled by my production, instead we worked with available lighting, and dealt with the flickering of the special effects strobes of the show.

No matter the challenges it was a great venture and a true pleasure working with the fellow REDUSERS and friends that collaborated in this hoot.

This was a collaborative RED shoot to showcase my company "KETCHFRAME Digital Cinema" and my services to the MGM/Mirage Las Vegas.

I Thank you every one for your participation, collaboration, and support during and after this shoot, I also like to Thank Dennis LaFontaine for his introduction and support of this project with treasure's Island Executive of Entertainment Chip Croop, the show Cast and Crew, and every one at Treasure Island.

This week I will be presenting this to TI's new owners and hope to get some paid assignments from which I can hire you back to work together, again, but this time with a pay :)

I hope you enjoy it!!

This is the video we shot on TREASURE ISLAND for the MGM/MIRAGE:

Looked great Ketch. I only wish that I could see it as the original file cuz I am sure that it looks far better that way. Congrats.

Thank you Peter,

yes the original file in full HD is far better.

Okay, I just uploaded also an other file on VUZE, hope when it finishes the upload this will be far less compressed.

Looks good! Must have been nice to work with the girls too! :)
 
Ah, here it is finally! Looks good, but the vimeo quality butchers it compared to the stills. I'll check out the Vuze link tomorrow.

Anyway, nice work, especially with the way you put together a bunch of people, most who had never worked together before, to come in and volunteer their time for this.

Thank you Jeff,

yes Vimeo does not do a good job on compression at all, and the fact that I'm still learning on doing all this compression stuff my self, doesn't help :)

But the Vuze file will be better.

And yes the collaboration on this project was just amazing!!

Haha, just talking about Dubai (again) and there you are, have fun, and be careful my friend, not in Dubai off course.

The demo came out real well Ketch!

Both me and Pamala agreed it was a great pleasure for us to come over to Las Vegas and help you and the rest of the crew on that project. RED User is really an amazing community - actually it is more like a family than an ordinary tech board. People here step up to help each other. We were very happy to help you out on Sirens of TI

Ciao!

Thank you Steve,

It was surely my pleasure having you guys there, and working together again.

Yes in deed this community is an unique one and the level of contact and will to help each other is also very unique to this community, also very true that it is more a FAMILY then a community in it self, and this is truly one of the things that I know I will miss the most once back in Italy, or at list that was what I was concern about it, then it HIT me, this is not an American community, this is not an American FAMILY, this is a GLOBAL community, a GLOBAL family, and it will be with me no matter were I go, and I'm really happy about that :).

Know that your help and that of Pamala was truly appreciated and look forward to have you both on the shooting of Chronicles of Perseverance, here or in Italy or both, I know you will bring something special to it.

ciao
 
Good to hear from you Gibby,

Tek

Hey Tek...how are things? Great I hope...

It was good to meet you in Vegas for Sirens of TI. We had some good laughs and I really enjoyed comparing notes on the industry, Viet Nam, and life in general.

Hope to see you again sometime soon when we're passing through O.C.
 
Thanks Ketch...

Yes, RED User is now a worldwide family...once you're hooked into it, you're a part of it from then on...unbelievably cool I'd say

Just let us know. Me and Pamala will always be there to help you whenever and wherever possible...
 
The footage looks great! My wife and I were in Vegas this past October, and we saw the Sirens show, right after watching Cirque du Soleil's "Mystere". This brought back great memories!
