Hi all,
A few of us have been discussing holding a regular open Red night in Sydney. We now have a venue, night and agenda.
The purpose is so Red users can discuss topics of interest/network but we'd also invite industry professionals, students and others.
First meeting will be Wednesday 25th February (7-10pm). See flyer above (thanks Martyn Taylor)

(Central station is 5 mins walk or parking is available in Thomas & Jones Streets)

Subsequent evenings will be every 4-6 weeks depending on night/availability.

The evening would be broken into 3 parts:

7pm: Red overview – (Dave Farland)
Some history, specifications, operation, post & future products.

8pm: Master Class - Apple workflow (Jim Hare)
Note: Further nights would discuss Red related topics i.e. other workflows, lighting/filters, audio, lenses, camera menus, data wrangling, grading, underwater, etc.

9pm: Open discussion
Evening would be open for general discussion/chat, showing of Red footage, live shooting etc.

The night would be a mix of Red owners meeting up to discuss topics/network between ourselves as well as an information night & contact opportunity for clients/others.
Extremely happy for anyone interested in organising, advertising, producing flyer, participate or whatever, to get in contact.

Pictures of the 1st Sydney Red User meeting,

Jason & Tim, thanks so much for all your shooting on the night!!

Great night--thanks very much to David and Jim particularly, and all those who helped out. We look forward to the next one!
 
Thanks for your efforts last night David & Jim.
Interesting to meet you guys, enjoyed Jim's insights and presentation into the FCP workflow.
...and Pawel's PL mount converted Cannon (was that a 5D or 50D?) is a classic.
cheers
Chris

Thanks Chris. It was the 50D, my pleasure. I can bring it again and we can check if Red Zooms clear the mirror box OK.

For the next meeting see if I manage to cut some sample footage I took with R1 and MPs in one of the most stunning locations I have ever been to and just returned from. This remote island in the southern sea was simply :head_explode: if you are into living on your own among seals and penguins. The most exciting bit was that I was no longer on top of the food chain :yikes:
 
Love to project it on the night....get in contact, Dave

It was great night, with a full house. Thanks very much again David for organising another very informative and entertaining evening.

Sincere thanks also to Tom, Warren, George, Pawel and John for their presentations and sharing their various Red experiences. I'll leave it to others to pass on their appreciation of the live camera test :-)!

These nights are a wealth of information. Looking forward to the third...

Cheers
