I know that a lot of people on this forum have a lot of experience working on big productions and commercials, that is why Id like some of your input. I can tell that making commercials, whether fast food or cars, its a great business to work in. I just recently finished college. I have been...

Hey, I am purchasing a dolly in a month or two (Depending on my pay) and I need some advice on a Dolly. I have done some research and the Dolly I have chosen is the Dana Dolly. With my budget of $2K I can afford to get the Dana Dolly and C-Stands (Which I really need to get). I would be using...

I have a Canon T2i, Canon 17-55mm f/2.8 IS and a Contax Zeiss 85mm f/2.8 Yeah, I dont own a RED unfortunately.. Nor can afford one :( I would like to upgrade my camera to a 5D mkii as I still cant afford professional video cameras. So, its the best I can do at the moment. Sell T2i & 17-55mm...

I'm not doing a car dealership commercial at the moment, but Id like to. I've always wanted to do one of those epic car commercials, but Ive been thinking about starting off with doing a commercial for local car dealerships whether it would be; Porsche, BMW, Jaguar, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Ford...

I'm wondering If you guys could post some B.T.S. stills of your lighting setups. I learn a lot by seeing how others light things and I try them out myself when I shoot things. Seeing pictures helps me understand why that light is there and how it works in the scene. I like seeing the B.T.S. of...

I was wondering.. If the native ISO is 800 like on the scarlet, and I can still switch it through the lcd monitor, do I have to shoot 800 or not? Since its all metadata, what difference does it make if I switch it to a lower iso than 800? When I did a shoot one, on 800 it looked really gainy...

I wanted to make sure I am using the full capacity of my system when editing in Premiere and After Effects CS6. Can you help me make sure I have everything enabled and working to it fastest? Lately I have been having problems with low RAM when I have a decent amount of it and other misc...

I was on a shoot a while back and looking at the footage from my entire 20 minute short film, I believe all or most of the footage in the council chambers is very grainy compared to everything else. It was lit properly and exposed properly. It might show up a tad darker than I hoped, but even...

I have recently completed college as a film production student of 3 years. Throughout my three years in school I have worked as a Director of Photography in most of the films we've made. Often times I was also a Camera Operator or a Gaffer. As you can tell, my main interests are in...

http://woodencamera.corecommerce.com/RED/View-All-RED/Jetpack-V-Mount-Epic-Scarlet.html If Im right, If I purchase this and use the Red Bricks, I can power the SmallHD AC7 - OLED? http://www.smallhd.com/products/ac7/ It says it has 2x 12v Lemo Connectors. But on the AC7, it says you can get...

I currently own only one 85mm f/2.8 Contax Zeiss lens. Its a great lens, and I would love to get a whole kit of them. I am just wondering, if I have a 19mm studio setup and have a mattebox & followfocus, will I be possible to focus with these lenses? They are very small, so Im not sure if...

I wanted to know what the length is of the longest Red Pro Prime. I believe the 300mm is the longest of them all. If it is, then Id need two dimensions. The length of the longest lens - Not including the 300mm: The length of the 300mm: From the very front of the camera mount to the tip of the...

Although I do not have the Red Scarlet/Epic or any of the gear yet, I am trying to see what the best possible rig would be. Why? Well, I have a way to make it compatible with the DSLR I currently own... after months of searching for the right gear/rig. So, it should work with both the DSLR &...

Was shooting a dark scene a few days ago. And there were two large hot spots in the room pointing over two bed. Actors were dressed in solid white. I was being careful not to underexpose and not to clip. I was shooting at T/2.8 and the highlights were at T/8 From what it seems, I don't think...

I do not own a Red Camera nor any of its accessories because I cannot afford it. But, I have been thinking that maybe I should invest in a Red Epic with all of the accessories through a loan or whatever means possible and then have that loan paid off by renting the camera out to other...

I'm still a DSLR owner. I'm not a fan of shooting on it, but its the best I can afford now. I'm buying my self a whole rig that will allow me to use it on the DSLR and on the Red Scarlet/Epic in the future without having to sell everything and buy it again for new cameras. I'm wondering what...

Shooting on the Red, howdo you light a dark scene? The problem is, its a dark lab. There are two blaring hot lights over two 'surgical' tables, meant to be over exposed. And when the main doors open, another hot light source lights the room. Also, there are electronics and lights flashing in...

We started shooting our short film, but looking at some of the shots we've done so far, they look.....underexposed by a stop. I properly calibrated my light meter and have been using that to judge exposure for the RED One - Non MX. Looking at the footage in RedCine-X, they are underexposed by a...

ey, I asked this question a while ago, but with the film shoot going down in a few days, I just wanted to know if there were any suggestions on how to pull off this shot. It has been seen in the movie 'The Grey'. I have an idea, but it seems to be a difficult method to pull off, so Im...

I have been searching for the right kind of slider for a long time, one that can be used for virtually any or many cameras; from the Red Epic, Red One, Alexa, DSLR's, and many more. I have narrowed it down to these two skate sliders however, there could be another one I have missed that would...
