Are there any certain things you might have to take in to account when doing a film print from RED ONE?

Anyone know what pricepoint you would expect for a film-out - 90min from a RED ONE?
 
Well it depends from the USA to other countries. Here in India it runs around 30-40k for a film out with color correction. That''s on a nice system too, though the colorists like anywhere are built to taste. I think the best deal I've gotten in the USA is around 75k. (4k prices)

Keep in mind any of these prices are based on personal experience and may be out of date for the USA ones as I'm not based there anymore.

It should be noted that film outs have other issues such as print stock, Dolby lic. fee, and the list goes on. I think an entire post run with surround sound mix, lic fee, stock, scan, color, and DI runs about 120k SD here in India to get your first print if you know the right people. In the USA runs about 175-250k if you know the right people. These prices are for a quality job done, with sound design, proper mix, time spent on color and titles...... etc.

Now with the red you skip the film scan but are still governed by the color issue as even if you do your own color at 1k in color the job will be ineffective because your LUT is not matched to the lab's scanners LUT. I have found for everything except titles that 2k in more than acceptable for most purposes if you're trying to lower costs.

I've done quite a few DI's for features and my suggestion is to get a good post production supervisor because deliverables for distro are truley the bane of most film makers I know.

Hope this helped some.

You are looking for shops that have either the Arrilaser, Celco or Lasergraphics kinescoping machines. They transfer data to film. They also try to do more than just transfer, so they try to bundle together: assembly, color correction, sweetening, audio, etc. Expect to pay $40K to $50K for a simple & no-problemo job.

Wasn't there talk about Red Ray being a first step twords affordable screening abilities? That they are going to release a high quality projector at 2K or 4K?

Is this the price that red is going to have as well? Compare Red One's price to other cameras and I would say that $40 000 will be the price for a Red Projector... would be nice anyway. :D
 
We do tons of filmouts using the ArriLaser and have done several Red filmout tests. Accurate pricing can only be figured by taking into account the specifics of your project, but you can figure $300/min as a base price for a 2K filmout with stereo optical sound track. However you should also factor in a color correct if you want the best results. 4K filmouts cost close to double because they take so much longer. If you'd like to price out your project please PM me.
 
I'd recon it's the cost for a 35mm master. Then there's less cost for making distribution copies? How much does it cost to make a copy out of a 35mm master?

Then just multiply by the number of distribution copies.

What is the lest expensive? Doing distribution copies out of the digital master or the 35mm master?
