Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening All, Looking into purchasing a quality 17" Production Monitor for both on-set and Color-Critical Post-Production work. Torn between the Sony PVMA170 & the brand new Small HD 1703-P3... Anyone had any experience with either of these monitors? Would love some...

LOCATIONS: Winnipeg - Manitoba, Canada Long Beach, California Honolulu, Hawaii I am looking for LOCAL (to each shoot location) professional crews of 3 to 4 (DP/Operator, Grip, Sound, PA) for the creation of a short biography on an international furniture company's retired CEO. Production...

Hello Redusers, I wanted to share a big project of my studio (Elements Studio in High Point, NC) with you all! I was honored to direct a music video entitled "Hooked Up" by Country artist James Wesley this Summer. The entire video was shot on, along, and in some scenes 45 miles off the North...

Got a couple of questions for my fellow REDUsers! The first thing you should know is that over the last year I have absolutely fallen in love the MX sensor. Fantastic in the darks, pretty good in the highlights. There's no denying it's still an incredible camera. Now 99.9% of the time shoot in...

Having an incredibly strange problem with RED CINE-X! It could very well be user error but I don't think so. I shot outside (bright sunny day) with 5600K. All looked fantastic in camera - nothing too cool, nothing too warm. Load my card into the computer, transfer and open up & BOOM - the image...

Ladies & Gentlemen of REDUSER, I have an "Epic" question for you. There is no question that the EPIC-X is simply an incredible camera...but I want your completely honest opinion. I am a commercial filmmaker working for studio that is thinking about purchasing a EPIC-X. With the exception...
