  • 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 :)

Peter Jackson was nice enough to send these pics of the rig used to shoot aerial plates for "The Lovely Bones". "Worked faultlessly", according to Peter.

Cool.

Is that a prototype RED RAM that was used rather than a RED Drive?

I shot in a helicopter for the first time on Thursday with the Red Raid- which worked flawlessly after I took it out of the cradle and stuffed it down my shirt, but I guess there was an advantage to not having that nose mount after all.

Friday, I ordered a six foot cable.
 
Is 6 feet the max length because of it being esata? or do you plan on selling longer cables in the future? Not that 6ft is short or anything, just don't want to invest in the 6 foot if the Pro 10 foot cable comes out next week :)

Another question I have is whether there will ever be modes on the camera that will only be capable on RED Ram vs the normal drives? I'm not aware of the camera being limited because of the drive speed, is there anything in the works? I'm pretty sure that it was said that the RED Drives will not be useable on Epic, will the RED Ram for sure work with Epic?

Cool, that looks like the same Heliworks A-Star we used for the Tourism NZ shoot. Do you happen to know if Johnny Haora was flying?

Not sure who the pilot was... but Peter has a favorite down there. He was on the "Crossing" shoot. Great pilot. Forgot his name... but then again, I forget mine every other day.

Most likely, Alfie Speight. Nice guy.
 
Yep, Peter's "RED/Crossing the Line" crew were there.....

DOP: Richie Bluck
Key Grip: Dion Hartley
1st AC: Sean Kelly
Heli Pilot: Alphie Speight

And yes the photos were taken during the "TLB" pick ups and b16 v3.1.1 was the latest build available at the time of the aerial shoot.

Flash drives are awesome by the way....
