Mark,

Could you give an estimate of the weight of these rigs...I am starting to think the O'connor 1030HDS might not be enough...and it scares me...

Well - IMHO - if you are doing feature work - 2075 is the move - we shoot a lot of "run and gun" stuff with lighter rig on a video 20 - but other than locked off establishing shots or maybe cut always - that's way too light -

I prefer 2060 - and LOVE the 2075 but it's a beast to run around with - if you own a 2030HDS already - you can use it for some stuff - but if you are thinking of buying - 2075 (or 2060) is the move - we have NOT purchased yet - we are renting - will have to consider leasing soon, but I just can't swallow the price (of fluid heads today) - hoping that Jim just BUYS O'CONNOR and changes the price point (one can dream, right ...?)
 
Soooo close to the end of this and my first credit as a Red Tech on set.

Early: Being able to do some simple pre-viz on set is really awesome... Oh you want to see what that looked at high speed? No problem.

Later: Hold on, I need to get the footage off the card!
 
Mark! Rock on man, those pics are so cool!

Now get a few more of those features ;-)

Let us know

well .. that was just a quick update. Obviously we won't screen a rough-cut for the public. I think this film will make a festival debut - Director has agreed to let us put the trailer up here as soon as it's ready and give RED a 4K version (of the trailer) to use if they would like to - that being said - they haven't cut the trailer yet.

this is copy from press release -

Writer and Director, Rania Ajami (Filmmaker Magazine
"25 New Faces of Indie Film 2004), has just completed
her first narrative feature, "Asylum Seekers", a dark
comedy about six people trying to enter an
asylum to escape the madness of the outside world.

Produced in association with Offhollywood Pictures, the
film was lensed entirely with 4K Red digital cinema cameras.

Asylum Seekers is a freewheeling, demented, dark
comedy about the modern world, in which six men and
women, fed up with the abuse they suffer in their
"normal" lives, seek "asylum" as inmates of a mental
institution. They've all heard about a place up on the
hill with an exclusive treatment program; now each of
them is out to show just how mad they can be when
electro-shock treatment and a comfy bed with a doting
nurse has become the perfect alternative to life on
the outside. But the asylum has its own unexpected
agenda; for a start, due to a massive influx of
patients, there is only one bed left. The six are
forced to compete against each other in a mad dash
adventure reminiscent of Charlie and the Chocolate
Factory meets Brazil and The Shining, making it clear
this asylum is no ordinary institution.

Ajami's next project is "My Eyes through Carnage", a
noir/thriller/road movie, about two women embroiled in
a search for a missing girl in a desert country. This
will be the first narrative feature to be shot in
Libya since the sixties and follows Ajami's feature
documentary on Qaddafi's female bodyguards - "Shadows of
A Leader", which has been sold internationally.

This really sounds like an interesting film, please submit it to Norwegian film festivals so I can see it. (I know BIFF has a 4k projector) :biggrin:
