Hey all, I am a high school graduate. I have worked with RED cameras for a few years, I have directed/shot/edited 2 feature films. I am interested in coming in at an entry level position at a rental house. Any advice? Do I have to go to college to be considered? Should I intern at a local house...

I shot a feature on my R1. My audio team made some mistakes and used a Tascam DR-40 for most of a film, when not caturing to the camera. So as the editor and sound guy, I went through the audio and applied some lowpass, EQ, ect. to try and compensate for the lower performing recorder. Since...

So I want to do this stuff for a living. I'm a young guy, haven't attended college yet, and I hope to go into steadicam operation. I own a cheap ($900) steadicam rig which I fly my R1 on. I'm not a master, matter of fact, some of my shots are pretty weak. I enjoy it though, and I continue to...

As a young filmmaker, living in the digital age, where almost anyone can make a film of some caliber, my thoughts on film school change very frequently. I have heard many people say it connected them with lifelong connections that benefit them very much. Others say if they could do it over, they...

Hey all, I'm directing a film late next year that involves a handful of effect shots, and to match the style and time-period of the film, I want to use a projection system in place of green screen. The idea is the use miniatures to shoot, say, a train rolling off track, adding digital effects...

So, I've been editing my MX R1 footage in Premiere Pro CS6, and I keep getting this little, black bar across the bottom of the frame after I render. I shot 2.33:1, 4.5K widescreen. Here's a screengrab of my preview. Anyone else had this happen? Any ideas? Thanks,

From my first shoot with RED.

I'm setting out to shoot a feature film. I'm going to be on location in a hotel and I need camera movement. I'm shooting on a R1 MX, and I'm thinking of going with a Fisher 9 dolly, because it seems like the cheapest way to get all the shots I'm going to want. I read that Fisher still rents the...

I'm down here in Austin for a few days for SXSW, anyone else around to get together?

So, I'm a writer/director in Madison, WI, and I also like to shoot what I direct. I've been doing a web series with no budget, just DSLRs and volunteer actors, all on location, lit with a few can lights and the occasional Fresnel. I've been on a hiatus from that due to actors being involved in...

So, I'm cooking up a feature film. I'm think of using my MX Red One on a steadicam for super long tracking scenes. I just went through the script and cut half the dialogue. If I were to do a, say, 10 minute continuous shot, of a husband and wife talking in a hotel room, with her in the bathroom...

So, I started editing together some stuff in Premiere, and whenever I pause the images just get stretched out and funky. When I hit the spacebar, it starts playing just fine. This was just a little annoying up until I needed to make credits. When I put my credits page on the timeline and...

So, I'm working on a suspense feature and I'm having some thoughts for shooting style and gaffing. Unfortunately, the two conflict a little. For the shooting I need to do long tracking shots to get the right effect. Sadly, the film takes place in a motel and we have only the budget to shoot on...

So, I did a demo reel for my RED One. Up to this point, I've shot entirely at 1080. But now, YouTube has 4K settings, and I'd like to use that for my web distribution. However, I was messing around in CS6 and I found that I have no idea how to export in 4K. If anyone could shoot me a few...
