http://we.tl/kdjVeTfQdD I attached a WeTransfer link to (2) shots taken from a recent Gillette re-shoot (it's a spec). It might be too late to save it, but looking at it now, the lighting does not fit the overall piece. Looks a bit like an infomercial. Anyway to spice it in in post via a...

Hey Guys, We all love these "Grade My r3d" threads, so thought I'd add to it. This one is a bit more interesting as we shot on an EPIC in black and white (tried getting our hands on a monochrome, but it was not available). Curious to see just how much can be done to a black and white image...

Hey Guys, I'm shooting a video loop on the NASDAQ tower in Times Square for a client (bank in Amersterdam) later today (on the scarlet). I've been trying to reach out to them to find out what frame rate they want the project to be shot in, no answer from them yet. Being that they're located in...

Hey Guys, So I'm prepping a spec shoot for Gillette that covers the history of the male beard. The spot will be shot at high-speed (still deciding on camera...phantom miro, epic or fs-700 w/ r5 recorder). The history the spot covers will be ancient Greece (Spartan Warrior), Middle Ages...

What is it with external hard drives always having some issues? I used to be a fan of G-Tech drives until one of my G-Techs (500GB) started giving me "corrupt files". A Toshiba hard drive that I had for less than a month (3TB) failed on me. A buddy of mine had a Lacie which failed on him as...

Hello all, So a few days ago I shot a commercial for an iphone case. Two days ago, just as I was about to start editing, my harddrive failed...and yes I didn't back up the footage *__* So here I am, prepping to re-shoot the same commercial. Perhaps its a blessing in disguise, as the first...

Hello to everyone, Here's my first official foray into the RED world. What I wanted to do was to make a "high-concept, cinematic club promo", rather than the typical DSLR club promos we constantly see. After pitching it to various clubs, WEBSTER HALL (NYC's biggest club) agreed to let us...

Hello Guys, Looking to see what my options are when needing to send r3d files through the web. I've been using Dropbox (have a 100GB limit there), Wetransfer (free version gives me 2GB) and Media Shuttle (awesome, SUPER fast, but have to pay $50/month). Dropbox, while great for organization...

Hello to all, I always enjoyed reviewing the many threads Ben Scott posts regarding grading his R3D stills, thought I'd give it a shot as well. This one was shot on an Epic, with the Red 17-50mm. Still from an upcoming promo for Webster Hall's, "Webster Hell" night on Halloween. (Two...

So here's a weird question. Does anyone else have back pain after shooting for a few hours? Handheld in particular, but even on a tripod in awkward positions. My back gives out after about 2 hours of shooting, to the point where I have to do some back stretches and massages to bring it back...

Hey Guys, As many of you must have known, last night the moon was closest to the earth of this entire year. And of course everyone, everywhere took out their cmaeras and started snapping away. Wanted to know if any of you guys took any. I'll start by submitting my edit ;)

Hello All, And the never ending of the best slider/dolly continues. This past weekend I was up in the woods shooting "in the wild", waterfalls, deers, birds, foxes, etc. I was using a Kessler 3' Cineslider, which did the trick, but when it came to shooting in the water for certain shots, that...
