  • 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 :)

There's at least 11 Reds in town by my knowledge, and perhaps more. Anyone else want to reveal themselves? We should get together and support each other.
 
We'll probably wait until a few more Red's show up. We could make it a much bigger group by including those who don't own a Red but intend to use them a bunch (DPs, ACs and DITs)
 
11 !!!! is that NOW or next month ??
i knew there were 4 ( 124,125, 126 & shawn)
that's more then SF area ...
 
I am the only one who actually has one, unless Ray took delivery. Picture This Productions has 1 coming (700s), Koerner has 3, Guy has 1, Greg Leno has 1, Ken Kupelian has 1, Peter Richardson has 1, then the three you mentioned, and me, so that's 12, there could be others.

Btw Donatello, thanks again for the rocking night you came out! Are you going to be at NAB this year?
 
Hi,

Add me to the list. Moving to Portland in March from the UK. Wont have my Red until summer though!
 
yes 124 , 125 , 126 are in Portland now ...

50/50 on NAB 2008 ..... will be back in Portland end of Feb ....
 
I'll be receiving my RED #1949 back home in Portland, but I spend most of the year in Cape Town, South Africa. Will be back from early April and keen to join any local RED user meetings.
 
Greetings Caleb! I just now noticed your post. Definitely write me when it looks like you'll be coming home.

Is there a user group for this yet? I can't seem to find it. Reason being on Tuesday, I'm doing a 3 camera shoot (non-red). And am looking to see if anyone knows where I can get rent/borrow a small dolly or crane for some indoor shots at night. Anyone have some ideas?

Dude, that sounds like an amazing deal, does it have the manual tilt/pan head? I'll talk to the man with the money right now. Any chance you have a dolly for the kPod too?

Hey Josh,.. I try to help when I can... its a manual tilt head... but when balanced
that rig can be handled with one finger... I might be able to help operate it/set it up depending on the night...

it does not have a dolly, but has dolly wheels for track... :) its nice and heavy with weights and all, so it tracks pretty smoothly... but its usually a two person operation...

however, I Do NOT have track... but its pretty cheap to rent.. unless its a long run... then PVC may be an option...

however, if you have enough room... I find the 8 and 12 foot replaces a dolly because you can track people walking quite a decent distance with it and no bumps... how far is the move? also has multiple wheels for different terrains as well as spikes for outside.

email me for my phone number or tfw (at) indentstudios (dot) com lets chat.

Say, I thought this was a thread about Portland RED users?
I'm one, (or I'd like to be) so if it's not there already, please
add my name to your list Shawn.

Looking forward to more beers and camera geekery.

I'm a 3D graphics artist living in Portland, OR (I do CG animations/visual effects for The History Channel, Discovery, National Geographic, etc.) and I'd love to talk to some local RED users and get some insights into the camera and workflow.

Feel free to email me at jonbell (at) esedona.net. Thanks!
