    Reimbursement Question

    I brought on a producer to help with a music video last year. The artist paid us only half the payment at the beginning, so the producer chose to spend $1200 of his own money for the production and asked to be reimbursed after the final deposit was made. The producer filled out a W-9 with me...

    Focus Jumping?

    Sorry, not sure where else to post this. Both on the Canon still lenses, as well as the cinema glass I use, the focus seems to jump a little when making some micro-adjustments. Is this normal/what people refer to as "breathing"? It seems pretty drastic, as if you're shooting with a DSLR and...

    Mac Finance Software Recommendations?

    Just looking for advice on what people have found to be the best software/app for Mac in terms of finances. I've been keeping spreadsheets for some time now, but think I'd like to try software. I do both freelance and small business (sole proprietor) work - mostly just need to keep easier...

    Personalized Filming Formats?

    Hey all - I can't seem to figure out if it's actually possible or not... Can I create my own recording format, or am I simply bound to FF, HD, 2.4, 1.22? I know how to create the actual guides for what I want, but would love to see if I can "black out" the dead areas in-camera! If not... RED...

    Packaged Deals Not Deals?

    I received an email about the featured product "REDvolt XL Module Power Pack", and thought this was some sort of bundled deal. However, upon adding the items separately into my cart, there is no price difference between buying the whole package and individual items. This seems to be true of...

    Filming for VR?

    Is everything proprietary and closed-off? I can't seem to find any articles or instructionals on how to best film and prep for the oncoming wave of VR. I'm really keen on making films in this field, but it seems like I keep hitting brick walls.

    Monochrome MX vs Dragon

    Can someone clarify specifically what the key differences are here? I can't seem to wrap my head around it aside from 6K vs 5K, and the better image science. Are those the only differences?

    Just Another "What Should I Do/Upgrade" Post...

    I'll finally add my voice to these threads and request a bit of guidance/insight from members. I currently own a Scarlet-X and Epic-X. The Scarlet now mainly serves as a backup camera (should the Epic-X ever fail on a job). It's been a huge stress to consider over the past couple of months or...

    HFR: Let's Figure This Out

    Hey everyone, I've been fascinated for some time by HFR, admittedly because I hated watching The Hobbit at 48p. On the opposite end of the spectrum, I watched Collateral last night and was bothered by the 24p/360-degree shutter. This had me thinking that there must be some sort of happy...

    Michael Mann's "Collateral" - What the hell?

    I should start off by saying that Collateral was a pretty good story, both when I saw it back in 2005 on DVD and just last night. However, I was really thrown by a couple of things: Frame Rate I understand Collateral mixed both film + digital, but almost everything digital (nighttime exteriors...

    RED Whining

    Not what you may think ;) This is actually something I've noticed since Day 1 of getting my two travel chargers - the chargers emit a high-pitched whine. I got a RED brick v-mount charger a year ago, and same issues when it's charging batteries, although this clearly comes from the fan. Is...

    Paying Taxes on Work Overseas?

    World travel experts - I'm looking for some insight! I've been asked to put together a budget for a company based in Canada that would like to do work in several different locations around the world. I was wondering if taxes, therefore, get paid to both the US and Canada, or if it depends upon...

    How Do People Get Scammed?

    I'm actually very curious about this - both from buyers' and sellers' perspectives (stories are appreciated). I've been under the impression that something like Paypal, Ebay, and the like would all work well at protecting the parties involved, so what goes wrong that ends up costing someone...

    REDvolt Recycling?

    One of my REDvolts has finally decided to only hit 2 bars of charging, and cuts power to the cam at 10% or so. I have a couple questions now: 1.) Any best practices for eventually recycling this one, as well as others, once it goes? 2.) Why hasn't a third-party solution (or new REDvolt) been...
