At filmschool you'll get to play with all the toys and learn how they work. RED is really not crucial It's like shooting a filmcamera with daylight stock, there's so much more to learn...

On the other hand, if you can stay IN PRODUCTION all the time for those years... If not, it's a no-brainer.

I personally think film schools should put HV20s into everyone's hands and tell them they don't get anything bigger until they can

1) Frame a shot, and
2) Tell a story that way.

Something like RED is something you graduate to, not start with. Learn the principles so that the camera is an aid instead of a crutch.

IMO.

Totally agree, right as I left film school, the students were given an F900 to shoot projects on, before that people were using hvx200s. I doubt the projects got any better, just slightly easier on the eyes (maybe).
