    It's not just us living on borrowed time...

    For those who may have an interest in conservation. Sobering news coming out of Africa where for the last 2yrs scientists have been engaged in what has been dubbed the Great Elephant Count. Absolutely gutted to hear that the news is way worse than expected. In just the last 7yrs some 30% of...

    Why no RED Fund?

    Just thinking out loud here, RED has the resources and skill sets at RED to do it. I'm wondering why they don't have a feature exclusive to the RED Camera range similar to Kickstarter but more along the lines for funding projects slated for filming with RED Cinema Cameras? Some of the bigger...

    Voice Talent.

    How many posts?

    How many posts do we need to create in order to edit our own profiles? I'm locked out from adding an avatar or anything about me. If there's nothing that looks and screams more like spammer its a blank profile in a professional forum.
