Red Post Partner ~ Rendering, Coloring, etc. (LA)

[Morgan Schmidt]

Greetings,

Looking to partner up with a Red post expert / or small 'mom and pop' company for a current project, and a variety of upcoming ones. While I can go to a larger house for conversions, coloring etc., on big jobs, I'm looking for someone who has a workflow extablished for more moderately budgeted jobs.

The current project, the first of three with this director, shot 700GB of footage to cut together 50-60minutes of finished material. Editor cut with 'dailies quaility' ProRes quicktimes generated by a larger (hideously expensive) post house; all the file names correspond exactly to original R3D clips. We need to go back to the originals and render out another set of Prores files with proper filenames, this time baking in a nice first pass color correction. I'd prefer to dial in my color in Redcine, Redalert (programs I know well) to pass to you along with Red files on to you, but am open to other suggestions that are time/budget. I'll fine-tune the color in FCP.

Cheers,
Morgan Schmidt, DP/LA

I'd suggest you do this yourself rather than rely on a post house that's going to charge you an arm and a leg for something that's pretty easy with Crimson Workflow.

Or have REDLAB do it in Toronto. All it would take is mailing them a drive. www.redlabto.com

I like these guys - http://www.timecodemultimedia.com/

Stuart is great to work with and a talented guy who knows his stuff. He is the color guy on creative cow (he shows up around here on reduser sometimes too).

We prefer the term 'boutique'. Plus, mom doesn't work here too often- that's called diversification.

If I read between the lines of your post correctly, you're basically looking for a render farm? While that's not exactly what we do, we, certainly might be able to help- and very probably for way less.

contact me tomorrow via old-man email (that's all us pops know) and hopefully we can fit into your projects and bugets.
