Hey Friends,

I've been thinking about the LART and how these guy's are donating all there time and equipment, many of them will have traveling expenses, etc.

And I'm asking all the Redheads to join in with me in by pledging a small donation to cover the cost of food for the team.

Wouldn't it be great if these guy's didn't have to spend any of there own money for food?

And even better, what if we raised enough money to have it catered? Then they could focus on the test's, and not on cooking.

If everyone just threw $20.00 bucks in the hat we could raise enough to cover it. Or do what you can, $10 or $5...

There's a lot of us who are going to benifit from the test, if we all pitch in a little, we'll get there.

Maybe gibby can set up a pay-pal account, or we could just mail him a check... What ever Gibby prefers.

But to get the things started,

I'm pledging $100.00 to the cause.

Let's show these guy's how much we appreciate them with our $upport.

Thanks!
 
How about we each take $20 and send some USO care packages to some soldiers in Iraq.

Lets show these guys some support. Something this administration has forgotten.

Peter Jackson did the camera test for me.

$20 x 3283 users = $65,660 / 17,500 = 3.752. Forget food that almost covers the 4 RED cameras. :usd:
 
Hey Sam,

That is an incredible offer, I for one (as I am sure all the other LART members do as well) greatly appreciate it. Thank you Sam very much and I hope I can buy you a pint or two... ;-)

Cheers,

Andrew
 
Sam is a good guy, and it comes as no surprise to me that he is looking to help these guys out. I will await details on where we can send the donation. I think it is a great idea. These tests that Gibby's team will conduct are going to provide incredibly important real world data to us.

Fightordie, I can't completely agree with you about the Peter Jackson test. Yes, it gave us confidence that the camera is for real, but in all fairness to Red, those were not production cameras and some things have changed from those prototypes. I was impressed as hell by the footage, but the test these guys will be conducting will be with production models and that is huge for us.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the kind words and your support!

I have to agree with you about the importance of the tests.

And all of us with a reservation are going to benefit from the feedback we get from these guys.
 
Thank you Sam for the generous gesture...much appreciated!

Me and Ken Corben have gladly committed to producing the LART testing. Everyone, including the studio we're testing at and the testing team members are donating their time, facilities, cameras, and accessories to the testing. Even after that, there are still a few hard costs, such as food, that need to be covered.

I've also received a few PMs from individuals who are interested in pitching in for a food budget for the team. Each of those offers, including yours Sam, is very much appreciated! We will gladly accept donations for our food budget. I'll confer with Ken Corben on what way to best handle sending in donations and then we'll post our recommendation here.

The team members who're not from the L.A. area are paying for their own travel to L.A. and their own lodging. All team members are donating their time and the use of their cameras, lenses, computers, and accessories, so having their meals covered by donations will then be something we don't have to ask them to personally come up with. That will be very cool...

Exactly why I hope everyone here on the board who can, will pitch in and together we can hopefully provide a caterer.

Yes! VERY COOL!

I know I don't post that often, but trust me when I say I'm here everyday learning from everyone....

Because of that, I feel a strong sense of community here at Reduser..... This board is made up of some really amazing people. People that are talented, generous, and of strong character.

And that's why I believe as "fellow Red fellows" we can all "Rise to the Occasion" and support this terrific team Gibby has assembled.

Let's not just hope the other guy's will "Take Care of it". And let's not just be takers... when the reports of the test start coming in and we all rush to learn and benefit from our friends labor.

But rather, let's take pride in knowing we all helped a little bit by simply pitching in a few bucks to feed this deserving crew, that by all practical purposes are working for the rest of us.

I know we can do it!
 
YEAH!! what are you waiting for, andrew jackson is eating a whole through
my pocket!

maybe thats where that breeze is coming from? either that or my flys down...
 
I'm in like linen.
lets open this seventh tradition for Red addicts
 
That sounds like a great idea. Maybe we could have a target amount that we are trying to raise; and perhaps we could find enough cash to pay for people's flights..?
 
LART Food Contribution Info & Details

LART Food Contribution Info & Details

Gotta' say this community is a class act. What a great idea. Gibby and I, as producers of LART, were looking at passing the hat to LART members for Subway platters and Pizza Hut as the second meal since the days are gonna be looooong...

The goal is now catered lunch and dinner with craft service for 20+ participants over two days.

Contributions can be sent via paypal to my kcorben@yahoo.com account
OR
checks payable to Seaflix and mailed to
7336 Santa Monica Blvd, Suite 701
Hollywood, CA 90046

As co-producer with Gibby for LART, I will manage responsibility of accepting contributions for feeding the LART team, provide updates on this thread, and close contributions when the financial goal is met (waiting on quotes from caterers).

Nice work REDUSER community - thanks,

Sharky

BTW - It's important to remind the REDUSER community that Gibby and I as co-producers (and nobody else for that matter) are seeking to make any profit from the LART sessions, and that the results of the testing will be posted for free.
 
Tony, Phaz, Paolo, Tinari, and Fergus......

Thanks for your support!

This is a Good start.

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe Ken or Gibby can shed some light on that.... and keep us posted on our progress.

EDIT: Sharky has already posted on this.

If enough people join in the spirit of this there's no telling what we could accomplish!

We know you're Not going to profit from the tests....

But you are going to a great deal of trouble and expense, for all our benefit.

And that's why we want to do our part to help out.
 
Sam,

Thanks for stepping up to the plate with the original idea and first contribution. I can see that with #81 (lucky bum) you're gonna' be very interested in the LART information that Gibby provides on reduser.

I have only gotten one caterer quote thus far. The ball park seems to be $15 to $25 per head per meal plus 18% gratuity. That's catered with all ancillary items, drinks and service. Of course I will negotiate, but the minimum target at this point is $1600 for 2 meals (lunch/dinner) drinks and snacks for 25 team members for 2 days.

I'll post the progress and details on this thread.

Again - nice work Sam - thanks,

Sharky
