  • 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 :)

Santa Cruz REDuser's Group

I actually just revisited this thread earlier today. Time to try again? Did the SF user group ever get together?
 
Not to my knowledge Brandon.

BTW congrats on your Vegas film, nice work.

I've been watching and both these threads have been dead for awhile.

I'm in process of buying Red 1644, but that's still a few weeks out due to shipping / inspection / warranty transfer / shipping to me.

It would be great to meet some local Red users, count me in.

Vegas film? Not that i know of... different Brandon?

Yeah, I'm up for either a SC/SF meeting. I'm also looking for any opportunity for work (at silly cheap day-rates), so if anyone wants another operator/helper or an extra camera, let me know :)

My bad,

I know we've exchanged emails, and there are a couple of other Brandon's on the board that I've interacted with, sorry.

How about we figure out where people are, and figure out a central location.

I'm dead center of silicon valley, so it's about the same distance for me either way.

Oh yeah! How's that prom dress movie coming? I delayed my feature because I couldn't get the right people together and I was preparing to move down south for a gig, but that plan changed and now I'm saving more money and planing on moving north this fall, East Bay probably.

In Monterey now. About 1 hour hour south of Santa Cruz, 2 of SF.
 
I was looking to shoot some Visual Effects compositing test shots next week with a friend who attends the Academy of Art (we were going to make use of their green screen studio) using my HVX200, however some buttons decided to stop working. Unfortunately the Academy only loans HVX's to grad students, don't even think about the Red camera.

I was hoping a Red user here would be down to help as fill in for a day or two tops (we are willing to accomodate your schedule). Keep in mind we are students, while we can throw a few greenbacks your way for gas and troubles, 500 a day is simply out of our budget.

If you have reservations I understand being the owner of a decent (though admittedly not nearly as hot) camera. However feel free to ask me questions or if you want to meet up with me in person beforehand (I am based out of San Jose though I attend classes at Berkeley, and my Academy friend is in Foster City).

The only thing else I can offer is our labor in exchange. I've done some grip work and on set assistance (AC and PA). He's done some AC work, and is working towards a Visual Effects compositing and lighting background. I will be gone after the next week but my friend can get you access to the greenscreen studio in the future (from what I'm told every wall including the floor is green, not sure about ceiling.)

In addition I have a tripod and p2 card along with a hvx200 that only records but does not capture and will need fixing. I know I know. That's like a lightweight offering to be a heavyweight's bodyguard, but I want you know this isn't some hit and run demand for favors. I am a man of my word and my labor is my currency.

Hey man, send me a PM with the details and we'll work something out :)
 
From Sacramento? it's that good, huh? ;)
 
As soon as I make my big break, I'm personally inviting you and the whole SC Reduser crew to Little Shanghai... unfortunately for the time being this artist is still starving ;)
 
Hey, all.

New owner/op here based in Pleasanton, CA. I'm very interested in joining a user group and would like to know if there are any upcoming Santa Cruz mettings.

Thank you!

Sean
 
I hope you guys can get this off the ground. I'm at UCSC and plan to be a Scarlet owner once you Red loyalists get your fill of the supply and the new customers have a chance to join in. I'm also originally from the Sacramento area, so hopefully I can link up with someone in either region once I'm an owner.
 
I'm down for trying again.

Anyone have a place where we can meet? Studio, etc.?

Or perhaps we can pick a starter point like The Perg or Bad Ass Coffee?

I'm free Friday night...

Friday night is fine with me (11-20-09). How's 8:00P at BA Coffee?
