I wonder if the new star wars tv series will be shot on RED. we know GL loves technology. specially new technology and with the kind of keys you can pull with red footage and not having to digitize. I'm sure ole george would just love star wars in 4k

He might not, considering that he bottlenecked his last two star wars features at 1080p!
 
LOST? prob not, but that would be amazing!!

24?? since rodney charters pretty much loves digital

and...

umm?

fifty bucks says its some doctor drama..


i think we need someone young to wield a red, for a film... hey, im 17, love film, love red even more, whatcha say Jim?
 
Another to add to the list.....Downstream shooting in LA right now for the next 3 weeks. I did 2nd Unit up here in Norcal on #401 and Videofax's #175. Norcal Footage looks amazing!

OK, it's official, so add it to the list:

"Woodshop" being produced in Colorado.

We have already shot about 40 pages of script and do the rest starting Friday. In addition to a great cast of young actors, both local and LA, we've got Jesse Ventura as the high school shop teacher (yes, really) as well as Mitch Pileggi and Don S. Davis in supporting rolls. Every frame of this film is being shot RED 4K.

I heard a couple of days ago from a camera department crewmember in Dubai that the new underworld sequel was shooting on the Red. He seemed certain about it. Beyond that it's unsubstantiated but I thought I would add to the fervour.

I can end speculation on this one, it's not being shot on RED.

Surely NZ's big man on campus is gonna shoot somethin on it/is shooting something on it?

Assuming you mean PJ? Rumour has it he certainly has a few REDs but I don't think they have any work lined up just at the moment (but my speculation is pretty under-informed). They're shooting The Lovely Bones now, which I'm pretty sure is 35mm. Maybe Tintin will be a RED flick?

I reckon there's one member on the board who'd have a pretty good idea about it all.
 
tintin is all 3d animation. so i dont think that he will use the red for that ;)
 
Given how much George Lucas loved that other camera he used, I'm sure he'd enjoy using the Red One on the live-action Star Wars series that's coming up. Surely. There was a horrible rumour about them shooting it all with HDV at one point, but Red must have caught his eye. It's exactly what he's been campaigning for during the past decade.

(This is my last post on Red User - barring some kind of emergency - for the next couple of months. Our feature's underway, and I have no good excuse to linger here any longer. I'll miss the place. And I'll report back with feature experience when it's done. For the record, so far, we're LOVING this camera.)
 
Competition drives change. If your competition is winning more jobs with a Red camera and you are using something else, you go out and buy a Red. The still photography industry has already switched from film to digital. It's now just a matter of time before the 99% of the motion picture industry goes that way, as well.

Steve Jobs put together a computer in his garage and eventually killed off all the major main frame computer companies. Same way, Jim Jannard put together a 4K camera in his garage and that is going to kill off the Big movie camera makers like Arri. Movie producers are running away from film in droves. Jim is a hero like Jobs. No doubt.

Question is always what will the big guns do? Arri and Panavision cannot compete with RED on price and they do not have the business savvy like Jim. Panasonic and Canon are interested only in mass production consumer cameras. Movie cameras are not big enough market for them to enter. According to inside info, Sony is not interested in selling F23 or 35. They are just prototypes for R&D. They have their own product cycle plans. For example, they already have a replacement for Sony EX1. They will bring it out only after selling 1 million Sony Ex1. So, RED is alone in the Movie camera replacement business.

Those who bought into the vision of Jim so far are Geeks who think they can become movie directors by forking over their life savings for a camera body. Many of them dreamed of flipping it for a huge profit. Many bought RED and cannot figure out what to do with it. However, by selling 3000 cameras, Jim has made his investment back and made a nifty profit. In years to come, Jim will sell thousands more and rake in huge profits. No doubt Jim is a business genius.

In a few years, people will read about ‘film look’ in encyclopedias and in ancient history books. Everything will be in 4K digital. Kodak has already anticipated the death of 35 mm movie film in their business plans. Samsung is planning manufacture of 4K digital projection screens for movie theaters. Arri 535 will be in Smithsonian along with ploughs and swords from ancient Babylon. People will remember Jim Jannard as the visionary who made it all possible, while looking at his foot and palm prints on the Hollywood walk of fame.

I still reminisce about the simplicity of super 16 and 35 mm film cameras. You frame the scene, and just shoot. Develop the film and edit it by cutting and splicing. Make a print and start projecting. No storage worries, no FCP worries. No transfer to film. Life was simple. Any idiot could do it with a few thousand dollars. Now, you have to have DP, DIT, Post house, digital projection screens and hundreds of thousands of dollars. Good old days. You never know what you had until it is gone.

With all my respect why not leaving people spending their money. I don't understand where the problem is. I don't need to be Schumacher to buy a ferrari.
And BTW sometime dreams and fantasy make life a bit sweeter.
