  • 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 :)

Nor Cal / Silicon Valley RED users group.

Gents, I live in Berkeley and even do I can afford red I already started to work on a story to shoot with one ..... so Donatello we should meet up
I would love to see your reel, maybe we get to do the project together
 
Hey guys-
I'm in Oakland. They didn't give me a specific number when I reserved at the NAB booth, but it's probably around 1600! Wish I had reserved last year!

I have a variety of primes that are Standard Arri-mount that I'm using with a PL adapter, ranging from 16mm to 500mm, mostly Zeiss and Schneider. I also have some Nikons (primes and an 80-200mm), but probably won't order a Nikon mount immediately. I'm currently remodeling my stage which will be geared for green/blue screen work when it's back up and running. Can't wait to pull some 4k keys! www.artichokepro.com
 
I'll have a full kit - camera, viewfinder, lenses, etc. - in San Francisco that will be for rent as well. #625 so sometime in November, but I'm planning our first production with it in December. I'm likely to get the Nikon mount as well to go with the prime kit I've amassed ... depending upon demand.

"we should all grab a beer somewhere "

would that be before RED ships or after ?
 
Hi Guys,

I wanted to introduce myself here, my name is Robert and I'm involved with a new post house based in the South Bay around San Jose named R&R Studios. I'd love to get to know you all and if someone get's some RED footage we'd love to test our pipeline on posting it. If you are curious about myself and the company just drop me a line or look us up. Take care everyone!
 
Hey folks,

Calvin (#20) and Hobbes (#21) will be coming to Sacramento....very soon.

Sounds like there will be no shortage of Reds in the Bay Area. I know John Chater and Lee Utterbach both have reservations in the lowish #s (I think John has two). #1353 will be shacking up with me in Oakland (which is an early enough # for me--I want to test someone else's camera to be sure they fixed the clipping highlight problems I saw at NAB with the Peter Jackson footage).

Donatello, I'd love to check yours out when it's delivered! How's life, btw? Last I saw you was a year ago January before leaving to shoot in Hawaii with Stephanie.

Cheers,
Frazer
 
YES - those with reservations ( & those that i've already said could test ) have 1st dibs on doing TEST with 103 ..

as soon as i get the "call" from RED with pick up date ... i'll post here ...
i'm going to leave open approx 9-10 days after i pick it up for testing -that will include week days ... depending on how many want to test and what they want to test i may arrange small groups ( 2-4 persons that want same kinds of test ) ? all depends on request ...

also Lee Utterbach has a email sign up for a possible RED thing in future ( pops up when you go to his site- but doesn't pop up every time ) ... i believe he has RED 192 ... if Lee does have a meet RED day - i'll try to have RED 103 there too ....
 
Good Morning,

I can't believe I didn't see this thread before! I'm a resident in San Francisco, and have been following RED ever since Jim Jannard announced it publically in 2006.

I work for the Bay Area Video Coalition in San Francisco. We've hosted Siggraph planning meetings, 3D user group meetings, and HVX/DVX meetings as well. We've just created a new "innovation lab" inside the facilities, which allows users to test their outputs on HD as well as handheld devices (cell phones, ipods). The room is equipped with 2 octocore 3Ghz Macs w/ 2 30 inch screens (and a 52" HDTV set as well).

Would there be any interest in folks coming to San Francisco, Bay Area Video Coalition to host a red gathering? I believe I can offer up the space to host.

All the best,

Dillon Thomas

YES !! Red gathering sounds good ..... without a camera or Red Raw files it's kind of difficult to pick a date ???? i'm interested ...
 
yes, I've checked out your website... my camera #217 that was coming Oct 10th is now Oct 30th... subject to further delays...

"I am now changed the schedule. Starting from October, every date that was the 10th has now become "by the end of the month". We need this extra time to get several things right. I do not want to disappoint anyone, but I would rather delay shipping than to push cameras out the door when we can improve them. We need the time." - Jim

If there's interest to hold the meeting at the BAVC factilities, I will talk to the directors and tell them about the interest and make the arrangements to have the facilities host them (and make sure parking is available in the parking garage for whoever brings the RED camera/package).

Count me in also. If BAVC can't host for some reason, I can probably host a meeting here in my Oakland studio (it's going to be green-screen oriented, but still under construction). BTW Dillon, does BAVC have any group insurance available for members? I need to find an insurance carrier. Does anybody have any recommendations? My camera is supposed to ship around Jan. or Feb.

Directors have given me the green light to go ahead and host a RED user group meeting!

Now all we need is a RED camera setup ....
