paging pete and paul...

have you received a phone call to step up to the RED carpet yet? is there a new RED or two yet, here in snow country? inquiring minds are dying to know....

Yes, let us know!

I'd like to take your cameras out for some serious cold testing somewhere up in the hills. ...Unless you're too nervous. :biggrin:

Anyway, hope you guys get those cameras soon. I'm anxious to hear reports of the new batch and how they work.
 
Sorry dudes, not loooking at reduser every minute of the day (but almost). We are sort of waiting by the phone at this point but no love yet.

Stand by for some fun posts, although we will be doing some serious R&D behind closed doors when they get here so no John Hughes parties at the shop (like, there will be no keg in the RED room, etc.).

I'm assuming you guys got RED's email this evening. Looks like you should be contacted within the next week. :)
 
We might have gotten an email...

wink, wink.
 
well, it's nice to know that i'll soon be within 2-3 miles of a RED camera, anyway.

if there's no kegger planned, can i at least bring it offerings and do prostrations?

enjoy those cams!
 
RED #232 in Denver

RED #232 in Denver

Red #232 has been in Denver for a couple weeks now. We've done some extensive testing and we're ready to roll. Anyone interested in seeing our test footage and camera feel free to contact me.

How is it handling the cold Jon?

We'll be thoroughly testing cold with #519, hopefully in just a couple weeks.

-- Erik, sorry to put you on the spot, but you know it's going to happen. I promise we'll keep the camera well cared for and only use it in a studio environment. I've got a new studio somewhere near Breckenridge. The views are magnificent and if you ever get tired of the view, you just load the gear back into the truck and drive across the street.

Studio-Schmoodio! Let's shoot outside!
It seems the only time I get around to shooting anything is when it's cold out...boy do the actors love that.

Congrats 232!
 
I haven't tested it in hot or cold situations....I've tested just about everything else though. I've had no problems with temperature so far, but it's been in moderate conditions. When I get a chance, I'll get it out in this nice cool weather we're having and let you know.

Owing to my Viking forebears, I'm nearly impervious to the cold. I can build, paint, dress and grip with the best of 'em, and the other Erik can vouch for my excellent taste in beer. Just in case any of you were wondering. :shifty:
 
Pete had Han out up in Fraiser in -20F blowing snow. Camera was a champ. Batteries even held up well. Also did a 1 hour time-lapse, outside in same conditions, no problems. These cams are killer!

Been in the basement for about three weeks now and heading out for first two days of a feature shoot this weekend. Keep y'all posted.

PS- Hi Jon and Jim (and of course Jeff). Give us a ring if you're ever in Boulder.
 
Steadi RED

Steadi RED

We were out on Pearl Street doing some tests with the new Steadi rig. Way cool! Shooting time-lapse speeder bike style down the middle of the mall.

Also some camera porn featuring Arri VP1. Lens is so good it will be hard to inter-cut with RED and Cooke glass. SCARY.

I'll post some stills from this coming weekend. Maybe some footy next week.

Hey, that's a nice ActionCam you're sportin' there. The Zero-G model too it seems. Have you had it long? I'll be getting my AC RED edition in a few weeks. How does the RED perform with the zero-G extension for going hi/low?
 
Jeff- Pete's the guy to talk to, but he's happy about some fine Swiss engineering (they even put chocolate in the case). Excellent product. So good, in fact, that the pan bearings are almost too smooth! Like RED, very thoughtful and solid.
 
Last year, in conjunction with the Boulder Adventure Film Festival, I put together a panel of shooters to talk about shooting adventure/extreme sports/nature films. We called it the Outdoor Video Producers workshop.

We had a standing-room only crowd (70 people, all shooters of various skill levels, in the Carsen theater in the Dairy Center), and we featured an Everest shooter, a guy who shot an award-winning yachting doc, and Colorado's most successful Emmy-winning climbing film shooter. We heard some inspiring, amazing and funny shooting stories about shooting in extreme conditions. It was a first-of-its-kind event in Colorado, and we decided to put it on again this year...it is the lead-off event for the festival.

This year, so far, we have another Emmy-winning Everest guy and a local guy that shoots a Nat Geo series lined up for the panel.

To round out this group, I'm trying to see if any of you Colorado RED shooters would be interested in participating in the panel. It would be great if you could bring some sort of adventure-oriented footage (we are wide open on the subject matter and works-in-progress are fine...), talk about what you do, and bring a RED camera to display. I know there is a lot of interest in this camera in the local shooting community. We would need about 5 minutes of footage, and you would have about 10 minutes of talking time.

I could do this myself, of course, but I'm showcasing something else on the panel. It would be great to have a RED-specific conversation.

Panel is Nov. 13 at 6 pm--I know this is a little far out to schedule, but the marketing will actually begin in the spring, so we are taking names now.

If you're interested, shoot me an e-mail....it's a great way to participate in the only community-based event of its kind.
 
Are there any REDs available for rent in the Denver area? I have an upcoming shoot there in a week or two and am considering the camera over the usual F900, as long as the package and support is right. Thanks!

#232 is here in Denver, and ready to go.

Feel free to PM me.

Great to see so many REDs in Colorado. It's always a good feeling to see a 303 number pop-up here at RED. Hopefully I will get the chance to meet some of you the next time I make it back to Castle Rock.
