Welcome to the future of digital cinema! As a Red exclusive rental and production company, Visceral Psyche is pleased to offer the revolutionary Red One cameras for rental here in Japan, along with Epic, Scarlet and RED-RAY once they become available.

Here at Visceral Psyche we don't believe in renting you half a camera package and then charging you for all the additional items you require to actually shoot. Our package price is all-inclusive of everything you need to shoot (full list below), as well as providing technical expertise on set at no extra cost in the form of a camera operator/DIT (digital imaging technician) who is trained in all facets of Red One operation and workflow, giving you peace of mind that your footage is created and transferred safely and without problems.

Rental Package Price Information

We have changed our rental rate system to make your budgeting easier! As of October 1st 2008 our pricing structure is as follows:

rate_table.png


Due to our policy of providing a camera operator/DIT with all cameras, pick up of equipment will be on the day of the shoot and returned at the end of the last day of the shoot, unless otherwise arranged prior to the shoot itself. Any bookings taken under the prepaid rate will revert to the normal rate if not paid for in full prior to picking up the equipment.

Visceral Psyche Red Rental Package

Each camera package includes the following items and options:

  • Red One Digital Cinema Camera (body)
  • Red LCD or EVF *
  • Audio Cable (Line In) - 4x XLR to Mini-XLR
  • Power Pack (charger plus 3x 140Whr Li-Ion batteries)
  • Matte Box (RedRock 2 stage MicroMatteBox with accessories, 4" x 5.65" Panasize - supports 18mm PL mount lenses and up)
  • 1x RedDrive Digital Magazine (320GB)
  • Red CompactFlash Adaptor
  • 2x CompactFlash Cards (8GB each)
  • SD Card (for storing camera settings, LUTs etc.)
  • RedRail Production Pack (full 19mm Arri compatible rail set with handles)
  • Base Plate (1/4" Arri standard mounting holes)
  • MacBook Pro laptop (with LaCie on set backup hard drive)
  • Camera operator/DIT (digital imaging technician)
* Please specify which option you want when booking your camera package as they may not be available due to prior booking schedule conflicts

Additional Equipment Options

You can also hire the following equipment from us at the prices listed below:

  • Red 18-85mm T2.9 PRO Zoom (PL mount) ¥30,000 per day
  • Red 18-50mm T3 Close Focus Zoom (PL mount) ¥10,000 per day
  • IRND Filter Set (ND0.3, ND0.6, ND0.9, IRND1.2, Clear IR) ¥5,000 per day
  • Supplementary Power Pack (extra charger plus 2x 140Whr Li-Ion batteries) ¥2,500 per day
  • 4x Walkie Talkies (Standard Communications FTH-107) with headsets and rechargeable batteries/charger ¥4,000 per day
  • BNC Cables (1x 20m, 1x 10m, 1x 5m) ¥1,000 per cable per day
  • Panasonic LT-BH1700W field monitor (supplied with 1x 10m BNC cable) ¥5,000 per day
  • Panasonic LT-BH1700W battery pack (2x IDX batteries and battery plate) ¥2,000 per day

Finally, you need a backup hard drive (which we can supply at cost) to store your raw footage on. Our DIT will assist with transferring, backing up and verifying the footage each day (which can be converted to your chosen post-production format for an additional fee back at our office). We can also create an additional backup for security (in its original R3D format for maximum quality) which will be stored securely at our production office, giving you a distributed backup plan in case of any unforeseen disaster, again for only the cost of the hard drive itself.

Visceral Psyche Films reserves the right to alter prices and specifications as necessary, however once you have booked, your price will be fixed and not subject to change.

February promotional offer

If you rent our camera during February we will throw in the Red 18-85 T2.9 PRO lens at no cost, in order for you to critically evaluate the quality of this superb lens without risk.

When you book please mention this offer so we know to add it to your booking!

Cheers,

Paul
 
We've updated our prices to harmonise on 25% off our regular prices for prepaid rentals. Also the Red 18-50 will now come free with the body, with the Red 18-85 available as a JPY10,000 upgrade.

Finally, there's a trailer now up for Japan's first all Red feature film (which used our cameras and support):

Major pricing change:

All rentals are now ¥60,000 per camera per day, full package as listed on our website.

Those of you wishing to shoot in Japan, we can also organise the full production for you if required including equipment rental, studio and lighting, English speaking crew where needed and post-production facilities if you want to finish here.

Finally, we have decided to sell our much loved Red 18-85 T2.9 PRO zoom lens in order to buy some other equipment, so if you are looking to get hold of one please check out this thread for more information and photos.

Paul

The rig was brought over from Europe for the shoot. As far as gyro stabilisation goes, I can't see it posing any problems but you might want to ask Mark Roberts Motion Control directly for more information.
