Commercial shot w/battle tested RED One MX

[Matthew Peevy]

Hey Red Users,
Here's a commercial I shot just before the summer started for a local chiropractor to my home area. It was the first commercial shoot I was able to use this camera on, and the same Red One MX that was used to film the "Dante the Great" segment on VHS: Viral (available on demand now; in theaters Nov 21st)!

Thanks for watching!

Looks great! Was it one of the BT's sold by Red in late 2012?

Thanks Danny! Yes, it was an original BT MX purchased at the end of 2012. Shortly after I purchased the camera I was offered a full time position at a production company. The camera was too magnificent to sell off because of the job role, so I kept it safely tucked away. It performs so well. Just wish the camera could go on a bit of a diet, lol. The weight of it sometimes becomes a hassle.

Correction: This commercial was filmed at the beginning of 2014, not just before summer as I originally stated. Got things mixed up with a different commercial I produced.

I've got one of the 2012 BT R1's also. You say it was used to shoot a segment in' V.H.S.' I'm just wondering how you know where it came from prior to being sold through Red. I'd love to know where mine came from.

Hey Danny, the only way I know for sure it was used on VHS: Viral is due to the fact that I was shooting with it on that movie lol. I'm not sure if you can find out who had it before, but maybe contact your RED associate assigned to your order. Mine had roughly 1200 hours on it when I received it. Still works flawlessly today and I absolutely love it.

Damn, I'd love to know where mine came from.

EDIT: It sounded in your original post that it was used on that shoot prior to you receiving it, thus my confusion.

Great look Matthew! I just bought my Red One MX as used from Canada, and I love it too! My first piece is 5 min rythm-musical drama, and I try to find jobs with it from Helsinki Finland. I shall have my premiere release party in 3 weeks!
