Hey everyone, I don't know where, but I thought I read somewhere that all brains will have both an HDMI output on the unit as well as a stereo headphone jack input. Can anyone confirm/deny this for me? I tried searching, couldn't find what I was looking for. Thanks, -J

I'm sure this has been questioned many times and for all I know Jim has given an answer, but I've been wondering why RED is building a smaller 2/3" sensor for the Scarlet instead of a S16 one. I would happily pay some extra for the larger sensor & fixed lens. Being able to match S16 film sizes...

I'm guessing people who's been to RED Day can answer this. The fixed-lens brain will include: Side CF Mount Battery Mount Are these two items connected to the brain or are they removable modules? Reason I want to know: If I want to rent a S35 and swap out the brain, would I have to rent a...

Hey, I'm working on a Red shoot this weekend and I just realized that since the film takes place is in a car, we need a wired remote so that the 1st AC can trigger the recording from inside the car. Any suggestions? Thanks, -J

Hey, I'm looking to buy a DVX100 (A or B). I have one already, but I'm looking to get a second one for multicam shoots. Message me if you are looking to sell one or know anybody who is. thanks, -J

I'm suffering from complete ignorance here and could really use some help... For small indie features--say $200k - $2million, where do they get that kind of money from? How do you get to the point where you can raise that kind of a budget? What kind of people/entities funds that usually...

Hey everyone, I'm still doing research for the web-TV project I'm working with. We're learning as much as we can before we spend our money and resources rather than after. Besides REDuser, where do you guys find new video content on the web? Are there other film forums or sites you're actively...

My friend has written a 7 part web series that I'm really excited to be Producing. We're getting ready to shoot the first 2 episodes in October and we've got a small producing team together to do the legwork (still looking for a DP). But before we put a bunch of time into pre-producing and...

I was over at Roger Deakins' website. www.deakinsonline.com He, and a few other DPs out there, don't want to work on RED because of the lack of an optical viewfinder. He wants the freedom of being able to see what his eye sees when he looks through the camera. Putting an optical viewfinder...

I'm producing a short film to shoot in October and at this point we're debating shooting formats. We're choosing between; -REDone -Sony EX1 We want to use this 1-day February tech test (it's actually a teaser trailer) to convince us whether we can fit RED into our budget. The budget for the...

This is probably the wrong section, but... I've been DIT on several projects (I've never lost footage) and now I'm thinking of making it a little more official and am considering purchasing more gear and consulting with a lawyer to create contracts. I've worked on several projects where the...

Are there any tripod head or sticks group buys going on? I'm building a RED package and need to purchase one. (don't know if this is the right place, but I'm asking here anyway) Thanks, -J

I'm looking to buy a set of walkie talkies w/ headsets for an upcoming film I'm producing. I want to be able to use these on my next films too, so I'm looking for something good. -What features should I be looking for? -Any brands I can trust? -Should I buy used? http://tinyurl.com/9fjn4q...

I'm looking for a certified stunt coordinator for a throwing scene in my film. An actor needs to be jerked from a standing position and thrown into a wall 10 feet away. I've talked to someone who knows stunts but isn't certified, and that's a problem for both me and the insurance company. He...

If I set the zebra IRE to [102-106] and change the color space or gamma settings, will that move where the zebra pattern will be? I'm trying to set the zebra RIGHT BEFORE the clip to white. As DIT, I'd love to shoot looking at exactly what the sensor picks up, but that'd probably make it...

I'm working as DIT on a red shoot this weekend and I'm looking for some good resources on this. Do any of you ever shoot RED 1-2 stops under or at a higher ASA to preserve image highlights? I've been wanting to test how this would look for a long time now, but this is the first time I've had...

I know someone who owns a RED. He wants to be the DP on the project, while I'd rather have him work as DIT and hire a more experienced DP. I understand that he wants to build a reel, but a big issue for him is also other people handling his camera. I thought we could compromise by taking out...

Maybe this has been cleared up already, but there's a conflict on the spec sheets. Is the S35 sensor 30x15mm or 30x24mm? BTW, red team, today has been amazing. I absolutely love the decisions you guys made. Truly revolutionary. I'm very excited to be a Scarlet brain owner and then rent an...
