A friend of mine set up this website: http://logline.it/ It is designed to help storytellers improve their ideas based on loglines. It is such a simple and effective website which I find again and again as a great resource if your about to start work on that little gem, want to polish an idea...

Hi guys I am in search of a S3D stock footage shot of a flight through clouds. Does anyone know of a good S3D stock footage website which has such sky or cloud shot? The footage will be projected in reverse used in a black comedy play about the last few minutes in a man's life as he falls...

Hi guys. I need a bit of help with my Redrocket card. After installing the latest firmware and drivers in the correct order the Red Rocket card works fine when detected by the computer. But the card will only be detected by the computer and RCX 501 if I start up the computer (I am using a Mac...

Hi guys Got off a job a few weeks ago all went quite well. We had the odd corrupt drive or power down but other wise had no major technical problems. Except on the last day when we tried to shoot up into the top of a tree on a sunny day the A camera stopped recording and returned an error...

Hi guys. Need some help with this one. I'm working on a shoot for a TV show we are using 2 MXs and have 6 drives to share across both. All going well except the fact that we keep getting an error remark in the daily rushes report about a line of dead pixels about half way down the frame visible...

In preparation for Redstations/SSD I want to tailor my inputs to fit E-Sata. Am currently using an E-Sata connection Raid 1 box by Stardom with my MBP through an E-Sata to express card34 adapter great throughput and very reliable. I connect the Reddrive via FW800 (no bus power FW cable) but soon...

Hi guys Have read through most of the posts on the Rocket threads regarding HDSDI output form the card. There seams to be a bit of mixed responses to the question and I would like a bit of clarification. From my understanding a Redrocket with no Breakout box can output an HDSDI form the 2 BNC...

I was recently involved in a car crash whiles on a job, that resulted in both my primary and backup Macbook Pros being crushed. The insurance is about to pay up and I am going to buy new machines. In a nearby suburb I have an Apple retailer and literally around the corner from that an actual...

Hi. I'm wondering what you think is the best format for a directors showreel? I ask this because I have seen many director showreels that had more wiz bang editing and super slick cinematography than story in them. As DP or editor showreels they where great but as director they didn't' show...

Hi. I have not been able to extract info from the metadata as CSV, TEXT or PDF since build 30. I used to be able to do so in R3D Data Manager or Redrushes but with build 30 and 30.5 this has not been possible. Redrushes will produce a CSV file with one variable in it that reads "Unable to find...

I have worked with 2 different MX bodies this month and have been very happy with both cameras so far. The only thing that bugged me was that on one of the cameras (build 30.5.0) I reset the internal Reel count at the beginning of a film prior to our first drive format to 1. We continued to...

Can any one shed some light on the difficulties behind the Cool Camera Gear R2E to Esata cable malfunction? I purchased one months ago and have yet to make it work on a single job. It has only worked with 1 Reddrive out of many I have tried it on to date. Other users I have spoken to about this...

I am looking for a way to capture SDI in on a MBP. Is there a mini converter that has SDI in with a FW800 or FW400 connection? Thanks.

Hi guys, was on a job last week with a build 17.4.1 camera. I backed up the drives and as usual loaded them into Redcine (v3.18) to check the footage. In Redcine the clips came up with skewed colours. It looked as if the blue channel was ignored, the blacks were way crushed, contrast was max...

I must say that so far I have not been impressed with beta 18 3.6. I think that the problem with play back of 4k ANA clips has to be resolved. As it is still a beta release I hope nay pray that they will be resolved for the release... release. Is there a way to play back build 18 3.6 4k ANA...
