"ER" goes RED

[Mark L. Pederson]

I hear they are shooting with Cooke S4s.

I guess it's a ... REDVISION show now.:wink:

Congrats all around! Long way from vaporware.

 

[Casey Green]

Yep, and this is only the beginning.

 

[Mitch Gross]

This makes it the first US broadcast network series to shoot RED, correct?

Correct. It's creating quite a buzz...

 

[Jay McBeth]

When will the first "RED" episode air?

This is pretty stinkin' cool.

 

[Larry Rutledge]

This is great news ... fantastic job Red Team!


Now you need to get my favorite show, 24, to make the switch

 

[Brook Willard]

When will the first "RED" episode air?

I'll make a thread about it before the first air date.

 

[Roberto Lequeux]

I will be watching every single second of the upcoming shows, possibly buy the DVD too... I just want to see how they treat the RAW 4k footy and I look forward to seeing what they are planning on doing with it... they shot film before right?

 

[Christian Edwards]

I am happy to announce that all remaining episodes, including the finale of NBC's "ER", will be shot on RED.

any reason why?

 

[David Birdy]

Red's take-over of the planet continues!!!
Congrats Red team!

The question really is "why not?"

With ER coming to the end of it's run this season, it's the perfect time for the studio to try out the technology and workflow.

 

[Alexander Nikishin]

I hope ER looks better than Leverage....

I hate to criticize but that show was shot quite poorly IMO.

 

[MALCOLM MILLS]

Evolution is inevitable - Congratulations RED!

yeah thats a valid point ...this is great! the more studios and productions on this scale will really drive the red workflow support demand which in turn is going to be better for everyone ...wait until scarlet enters the market, we should see a shift in the digital market like non ever seen before ...behold a new era!Although, I dont think my girlfriend will find it very funny when i say iv got 2/3 inch in my pocket

all Red Digital Cinema need now is a genuine competitor then will really start to see things cooke

 

[David Wyatt]

Wow...congrats - that's a huge show!! Can't wait to see what they do with it.

 

[Roberto Lequeux]

Just watched it last night, and I would have to say it is shot on a 2/3 digital right now... right? Sorry I suck at IMDB'ing.

ER and LWS

Robert Keslow tells me that the Lightweight Support is a big hit with the crew on ER. They were looking for a way to make their RED rigs lighter and more compact for Steadicam and hand held use, and sketched out a solution. Robert saw that what they had drawn was similar to our support and got them two units to their set overnight. It was a welcome surprise, big hugs all around.

Might not seem like much, but if you can take pounds off your RED set up, on a Steadicam heavy show like the brilliant ER, it could make a huge difference.

Thanks to Robert and his gang and Keslow Camera.

Current shows are and have been (for 14 years) shot on Panavision 35mm cameras.

Dont know who remembers the ER that was shot "live" with HDCAMS, It was shot at 1080 60i...or was it Chicago hope? Those Chicago based Hospital shows with ensemble cast all blend together

ER

It appeared to me that last night's, as well as last week's show was shot on something other than 35mm. Magenta artifacts and digital looking skin tones. Anyone know?
