  • 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 :)

Wikipedia. . . why, oh why, are you so out-of-date?

Come on all you wikis out there. The RED Digital Cinema Camera Company wiki article is WAY out-of-date.

Someone should take it upon themselves to fix all of the inaccurate and/or out-of-date material.

What a disappointment!

You fix it... That's the whole point of Wikipedia.
 
I'm too ignorant to know what I'm doing. . . but given how that site gets updated within moments in some cases, I was pretty surprised to see so much out-of-date data.

No. . . I'm going to have to leave the updating to the experts.

I think Noah has done a pretty admirable job putting together a Red primer book which he will add important information to a companion website when it's appropriate. I know it's not as immediate as a Wiki can be but still a very good resource nonetheless.

The most difficult thing for people on the periphery of the RED universe is keeping up with changes. I still hear people talking about what they don't like about the camera, and often times they are talking about things that were solved long ago or were myths to begin with.

Noah's book gives you a lot of valid information ranging from how to shoot all the way through the post process. He even includes some suggestions on how to build a business around the RED.

I believe a Wiki is a great idea, just very time consuming for one or two people to keep it up.

One of the areas that is still lacking to a small degree is extensive tips and techniques using RED. Nuts and bolts stuff on specific topics. One of the things I considered producing at one time was an on-demand training channel for R1 and future cameras. For example, one of the quicktime movies would be all about Color and Gamma spaces. Another might cover exposure with specific examples and lots of before and after with links to the original R3Ds. I know others have toyed around with this as well. Essentially, you would pay a small download fee for each video. I just never pursued the idea due to time constraints.

By the way, the upcoming REDuser events will be very much about techniques. For example, shooting 3D with RED.
