  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Colorado REDs, sound off!

Rocky Mountain 4K in Denver

Rocky Mountain 4K in Denver

Rich Lerner and I (as Rocky Mountain 4K, LLC) took delivery on our Red a few weeks ago. We're each going through the camera thoroughly and getting more excited as we go. Rich and I have done a couple of Colorado features together and we're looking forward to the first one with this camera. Being a film guy the ability to control DOF is what sold me on finally going digital.

I'm off to Red Day on June 20.

Cool Nelson! Say hi and congrats to Rich as well!
 
Hi Colorado RED folks,
We are looking towards a very full production slate this fall, and to that end we may be in need of more cameras, and possibly some AC's. If anyone is interested in either a long-term rental (1-3 months) or even sale of their RED, please PM me as there may be some good opportunities. Hope RED is being as good to all of you as it has to us!

I'm looking at relocating to Colorado and was wondering if anyone had cameras in Colorado Springs?
Click to expand...

I guess I'll take that as a no. Any good links to film groups through out Colorado?
 
Rocko,

I know of two people who had reservations in the CO Springs area... Neither of them have bought the camera yet. One of them being Jim Arthurs, someone who used to frequent this site a lot.

AFAIK, there really isn't a whole lot of film/ video production in the Springs, most everything is located in Denver and Boulder. I'm sure there are some smaller operations there, but none that just pop into my head other than Mr. Arthurs again.

I've been trying to get my camera to do some work at the US Air Force Academy in the Springs, but I must not be finding the right people to talk to. I'd really like to get it into the cockpit (or strapped to the belly) of an F-20II or F-16. Oh well, haven't tried asking for a couple weeks, maybe it's time to try again.
 
Thanks Jeff and Erik. I'm always looking to assist in film productions and once I get to Colorado (mid-sept?) if you need extra hands on set, keep me in mind. I'll actually be located on the other side of 25 from the AFA.
 
Red in late January

Red in late January

Hi Everyone.
Maybe a little late on this thread, but I'm getting my Red at the end of January, would love to team up with other shooters if anyone needs another rig for a project. Most of my work is in extreme sports, but I'm psyched on all kinds of cinema. Looking forward to meeting some other members of the community soon.
 
Hi Chuck (and other Coloradoans...)

Y'all may want to check this out. Colorado's own Ed Sauer will be presenting on shooting underwater footage with RED, among other interesting behind-the-camera stories.

The event is Thursday, November 6 and it is the lead-off event for the Boulder Adventure Film Festival (http://www.boulderadventurefilm.com/), and runs from 6pm - 8pm. It will take place in the new theater of the B Side Lounge (the old Trilogy), where we will be drinking and talking shop:

With Ed and myself, we'll have at least 2 RED shooters present on the panel, so come on down and a little more RED love to our event.

Chuck -- you may want to consider signing on for next year's panel. We are always looking for people doing interesting work on adventure films.

Under Water and Over Land: An Outdoor Video Producer's Workshop

The only community conversation of its kind -- producers talking directly with
producers!
Join some of our area's most talented adventure and outdoors shooter, directors,
and producers for the only conversation that puts all of us together in one
room.

This year's speaker panel will include Zachary Fink & Alyssa Fedele from Soul
Fabric Films, who have been working on a documentary about outrigger canoeing in
Hawaii, Ed Sauer from Watering Life productions, who shoots underwater footage
with a RED Digital cinema camera, and Brendan Kiernan
from Futuristic Films, who has produced projects on the Himalayas, El Salvador,
and regional mountain town culture.

The panel has shot all over the world, in all kinds of fast and extreme
environments, both underwater and over land. Each panelist will give a short
presentation with clips from recent projects and then be available to talk with
you about gear advice, developing your own productions, and marketing your
masterpiece. This is an opportunity for you to ask local pros questions about
how to hone your craft and take it to the next level.

The panel will be moderated by Meryem Ersoz, who runs the
planet's largest nature and outdoors video contest, and will be handing out
information on other resources that you can use to improve your production
skills.

There will also be a free gear raffle/giveaway after the presentation. This is
your chance to score some new toys.
 
Hi Chuck, congrats on the upcoming camera!

Meryem, I think you mentioned this event before, I guess I kinda forgot about it. I'll try to make it, sounds like fun.
 
RED 18-85 zoom

RED 18-85 zoom

While I'm at it, have to ask...

Will anyone CO RED owners be getting the 18-85 lens soon? I am #380 on the list and will be expecting my number to come up anywhere from February to April according to current estimates. I'd love to get my hands on one for a test drive before deciding whether or not to buy.

See you there.

Western Colorado RED

Western Colorado RED

Howdy folks. We're RED in Carbondale, CO. We've had our R1 since October 08. We're a group consisting of a long-time professional commercial photog, some muscle, and a longtime stills shooter with a lot of technical ability and post skills.

We're shooting a few projects, largely remote, wilderness and extreme sports, but also cultivating some commercial/advertising work through the pro in our group. Currently doing a lot of testing and learning in field - mostly on backcountry skis and foot so far - and in front of this computer.

I've connected with meryem, look forward to interacting more with folks in CO. We're happy to gain experience and friends through renting or sharing our equipment and our spare hands when you all need it.
 
Has a Birger mount landed in Colorado yet? Anyone want to get together and test my Sigma 300-800mm EF lens with it and see if it works? I'm mighty curious...and the moon is pretty right now....

we missed the chance to shoot the space station working its way over Denver...dagnabbit.
 
Hey Colorado Reds,

Any experienced DIT's willing to work for free on a Red shoot in July? We need all the help we can get and we're pinching pennies anywhere possible. Please PM me if you'd be interested in helping us out. It's an 8-day shoot, half are night shoots. Yes, it's a tall order, but it doesn't hurt to ask...
 
Hi Colorado Red Users.

I am getting my Red kit up and running, and I wanted to ask if the community has any 'industry standard' rates. I'm of course increasing my rates from what I was charging for HD services, but I don't want to undercut anyone's rates. Would it be possible to PM me or post your rates (rental and day-rate shooting) so that I can be comparable? I'm all for competition but I dont want to compete on who can discount the furthest.

Cheers,
Chuck
