Looking forward to meeting you guys!
 
Cr@p I totally forgot about the FCP meeting - thanks for the reminder!

I'll be hanging there tomorrow night as well. It will be good to put some faces to the other redheads in the area. Plus I would love to participate in any testing and can help provide some equipment to help out. I also know a couple of local DPs (and others) who'd love to eyeball the camera and kick the tires first hand.

Jason
 
Looks like I'll be able to go as well.

I'll be in black pants, blue shirt w/ white horizontal stripes - blond top.

And no, I don't look like an ostrich. (Though some of my students would prolly say something different if asked).

Great to meet Dillon, Alex, and Owen last night at FCP meeting. The highlight was seeing the camera. Help me out on this one, guys, but there are a lot of non-functioning features at this time. Variable frame rate not ready yet, EVF not available yet, Red Drive, other features still baking. Apparently, updates seem to be released regularly.

Torrey showed some footage he'd shot but it was difficult to see and evaluate due to a large light shining on the screen.

Silverado is renting the Red Camera package for $2000/day. Package includes camera, Red 300mm lens, Red 18-50mm Zoom lens, Red LCD screen, 2) 8GB Red Compact Flash cards (each holds about 5 minutes), Red Drive/Battery Harness, rods and mounting brackets, focus hook kit (?), Sachtler Cinema 30 tripod, Red Tools, case, and matte box. The flyer doesn't mention how many batteries it comes with and I'm sure it must have a charger as well.

Rental requirements include photo ID, $40,000 insurance, signed contract, $1,000,000 general liability certificate of insurance naming Silverado with $1,000,0000 Auto, full rental payment, driver's license number, social security number, and three industry references. Rental contract is very detailed 3-page contract.

I imagine that any of us who plan to rent our cameras should consult a lawyer as well and draw up a similar rental agreement.

RED ONE at MacFilmmakers tonight in Cupertino

RED ONE at MacFilmmakers tonight in Cupertino

Hi, Folks--

I know this is REALLY last minute info, but I thought I should nonethless post the following information here.

Tonight, Wed. 9/26, at Apple's HQ in Cupertino, Torrey Loomis of Silverado Systems will again be showing off the RED ONE system--so if you missed it last night in San Francisco, here's your second chance to see it in action in the South Bay. The meeting starts at 7:00 pm in Apple's Town Hall and is open to the public. The meeting is free and parking is plentiful and free. There's even free pizza and soft drinks. Full details are at this blog:

Again, sorry for the very late post, but I hope those interested can make it.

Hi people,
Well I just couldn't hold out any longer, after seeing an actual shipping RED at the FCPcutters meeting last week I caved, went home and ordered mine. Only wish I'd done it when Graeme Natress urged me to at NAB two years ago, then I wouldn't have to wait till next year.
It was very nice to meet several of you at the meeting, this camera is certainly the most amazing development. I've got to hand it to Jim Jannard for pulling it off, quite an incredible act of altruism towards independent film makers if you ask me. I'm sure the people at Sony and Panasonic etc. just love him for it!

All the best,

Paul Mogg
 
hey Paul,

were you english, in a (blue) shirt? I think we talked. contact is below, would love to hear how the feature (or was it a doc?) goes.

Hi Alex, yes that's me. I'll let you know how it goes, it'll be another feature but it's a long way off yet, considering I've got a good 7-8 month wait for the camera. Exciting times though.

Paul
 
Hi Greg,

I have one on order, hope to receive it in January timeframe (or so they tell me). Would be interested in comparing experiences and networking.
 
Hey guys, I have reds 78 and 80. I will be messing around with them this weekend in SF. PM me if you want to check out the reds in action.
 
Hello NorCal Red owners,
I have a Red on order that should come between April and June. With only one Red camera, I know that from time to time I may have shoots requiring two or more cameras. I just want to know if any of you are up to working jobs with me, or if I can help you, when multiple cameras are needed. I'm located on the Monterey Peninsula.
Thanks,
Bob

I'm interested in teaming up with you on future multi-red projects. I'm in the south bay. My Red should arrive before yours.
 
If you could please let me know when you get your Red and have some time, I'd love to see it working! I have a new MacPro Intel machine so if you need any help on post, I'm here.
 
Hey All! Santa Cruz Newbie

Hey All! Santa Cruz Newbie

Hey Everybody,

Add another bay area Red customer to the tab, so stoked! (as I know all of you are) Just FYI, anyone know if they started converting reservation numbers to serial numbers, or something of that matter?
Hope I can get to know some people and work together!

Cheers,

Greg

I (and gear) will be available for multicam shoots. I should be getting my RED in Febuary. I also have extensive support gear: Steadicam, jib, dolly & track, lighting & grip, audio, etc. Cheers!
