The Australian Cinematography Society (ACS) celebrated it's 50th Anniversary last week by holding 4 days of exhibits, master classes, conference sessions, panels, etc. Lemac Films proudly showed off one of our 6 RED Ones at our booth, and Lemac's John Bowring, ACS held a master class on the "Ins & Outs of the RED One" which garnered one of the largest crowds of the conference.

We were able to lure Don McAlpine, ACS, ASC (DoP on the new X-Men Origins: Wolverine) into our booth to discuss the RED One, and he had great things to say - despite the fact he had used a much earlier build than 15.

I spoke at length with Daryn Okada, ASC (President of the ASC), who mentioned that he was still waiting for Ted to call him back and go over some things.

During a panel on the "Future of the Image", Andrew Lesnie, ACS, ASC spoke about his involvement using RED, in that it "is now a very suitable system", that its come along way, and that he used it a couple times alongside Super35mm on The Lovely Bones, Peter Jackson's new film (much to the dismay of John Galt, SVP Digital Imaging at Panavision, sitting right beside him).

Cool stuff. Wish I had been able to go. I was looking forward to going and was horribly dismayed when my plans fell in the dung heap.
