I've been thinking about accesories that the RED camera is going to be needing. One item that I have not seen mentioned is a crash housing. With it's compact size and low profile the RED would be perfect for this use! Here in Orygun we have lots of scrap metal due to the fact that ninety five percent of the wood mills have been shut down. This is mainly due to those tofu sucking, tree hugging hippies up in Eugene. Anyhow as I say we have lots of good scrap iron laying around and everybody has a welding machine in there barn or shed, (gotta have one to fix the brush hog when it breaks down not to mention doing occasional spot welds on the gun rack in the pickup). So I'm thinking, Hey here's a way to make a quick buck (oh that reminds me gotta pick the deer rifle up from the shop). As I used to make these suckers for Eyemos back when if anybody would like to drop their camera off for a couple of months I'll get right on it.

yours,

Chuck
 
You're a hoot, Chuck. In Chicago we prefer tommy Guns to rifles--not that there's anything wrong with that, though.

So, what's a barn?
 
Hey Formerly lpcvideo1,

Yeah I'm hep. I was born in a booth of a bar in Hillside, Illinois. (Charleys Tavern) You certianly knew who you were buying your liquor from and who supplied the jukebox, pool table etc. I grew up in the little town of Lake Zurich. I think that's part of the reason I moved to So. Oregon after living in L.A. for thirty five years.
Oh, a barn is a place you put anything that won,t fit in the shed.

Chuck
 
I've got some friends that live in Lake Zurich, over by there.

Oh, barn. You mean where you keep the snow mobile.
 
Chuck you crack me up!

I love Orygun! I bought a house on 20 acres of forest on the West side of Mount Hood, in 1977 and lived there for 2 years - it was unreal! I was livin' the full-on Grizzly Adams thing - big beard, dirt bike, guns, and a "Don't Californicate Oregon" sticker on my F150 (which I put on it as soon as I moved to Oregon from California!). A stream went through my acreage - I'd fish for dinner.

The downside was that the next town up the mountain was named Zig Zag. Friends and family got a lot of mileage out of that!

That's the ticket!
That and the 1963 Alaskan pop up camper that doesn't quite pop up all the way on one side.
Oh and the gas powered log splitter you don't show anybody cause they will think your a wuss.

Gibby,

Jeeze Gibby this is too wierd! My truck is a 1977 F250. My bumper sticker says "The more people I meet the more I love my dog". I had 19.7 acres on (I swear this is true) Dead Indian Road. Which was just around the bend from Howard Prarie and Hyatt lakes two of the premier trout fishing lakes in Or.
Oh, and by the way there is a old movie theater that has been shut down for years in the lovely little town of "DRAIN" just off of I-5 that would make a wonderful screening room for 2/4k! lol

Just have the camera drop shipped to me and I'll get right on that crash housing.
 
Yeah buddy...RED in one holster, and a .45 in the other!

All these toys make it dang hard to git onta the Grizzly quad or Kawasaki Mule...

Only a fisherman knows the feelin'...sometimes with no bait so the fish don't disturb the nap...

:innocent:
 
Hey Gibby,

If you are ever doing any shooting up this way, I would be proud to pull cable, hold the shinney board, provide security (Colt 357 King Cobra with hydra shock rounds and Jake the dog who is a 130lb. Alsatian/German Rottweiler mix) for you.

Chuck "Damn, I can't remember the sixties and I know I was there" Colburn
 
I'll make a point of stoppin' by. I'll bring the RED One, RED Bull, (sorry no Panama Red), and my longbarrel S & W .44 magnum, and you bring the .357, vittles, dawg, and poles.

By the sound of Jake, guess I better leave the wife's Corgi at home - but the wife's my sidekick almost everywhere I go...

Steve "it's a good thing someone shot photos of me in the '60's because now I can prove to me and others that I was there" Gibby

:whistling:
 
Gotta luv you Ameriguns :gun:

Just remember to leave the none RED hardware behind when you come shooting across the border.

Reminds me, I better go shopping for a flack jacket before I head off to Vegas.
 
Nah. Skip the flack hacket. Cut the sleeves off your jeans jacket and get a hat. Or a bandana.

Things sure have changed here on Walton Mountain.

Yep, pappy. Since them RED folks arrived. Now it's all hi def this and digital that and whatnot. It makin me ornery.

Night, Johnboy.
 
Well All,
This has been fun. I tossed that crash camera thing in yesterday cause some of the threads seemed to be getting a bit tense and filled with terse thoughtless postings and thought a little comic relief was in order. I just want to say thank you all for the excelerated learning curve about things I don't know squat about. (I readem all, then again I also read technical journals for light reading). lol
Mayby down the road, a thread on humorous location happenings, rural, (you know,"What the hell is that thang") or other wise could be fun.
Once again, thank you all.
Hey Bro Anansi,
Yeah it's gotten a bit tight at the border to the "Great White". Easier to go south where you just pay your way. hehe
Speaking of paying... whats this crap about Amuricans having to pay ten bucks to get back into their own country? I thougth we bought Canada!

Chuck

Oh as an after thought, "In the land of the blind the one eye camera man is king"

Well hell, how do you think Y'all financed the purchase?
Somebody's gotta pay back the Chinese. :bye2:
 
LOL!! Chuck & Gibby - you guys crack me up -

You know, it would be really amazing if a bunch of "colorful" RED reservationists "documented" their first shoots & tests with thier REDs and somebody cut all that together - there is a lot of color in RED ...


Chuck -

I will want a crash housing for sure. I used 2 or 3 with 35mm eyemos on SUPER TROOPERS - besides the obvious crash stunts and pyro gags - it's really good for car stunts where you don't plan to crash ... but you just might ...

I like that idea! Editorially it would be somewhere between "Jackass" and "Smokey and The Bandit", but you're right, the colorful personalities who put RED One in motion in the field, will be a story unto itself. Floating a small camera around the process, as a POV/reality 3rd person's eyes would be very cool indeed! I suspect parts of that "Making Of..." footage would make many a Directors Cut for DVD release - or at least credit roll fodder. It would provide some much-needed comic relief! A sense of humor is one of the attributes I look for when I hire my crews - they need it when they work with me!

The U.S. didn't buy Canada. America tried to invade Canada many years ago but were butt whooped (something I learned a lot of US schools do not teach). From what I hear the Canadian military is still quite a force. Canada has sea hawk helicopters that crash frequently, 5 used submarines they bought from the UK that start on fire and a nasty birgade of suicide beaver bombers.
