  • 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 :)

RED #8 testing team & some details

But who's cooking Donatello?

As most people well know, having good craft services on set is rare. However, BBQ sounds amazing and I would be willing to do/pay whatever it takes to have some quality foods available during LART.

i agree that all of you (including producers) should have quality BBQ food etc .. i don't want any of the group to have to pay for it as everybody is donating time & equipment ... so hopefully we can get some $$ to LART to at least pay for some good food/treats !!
 
Hungry to test

Hungry to test

As one of the testers who is actually bringing a camera I appreciate the willingness of some forum members to show support for our efforts by helping with the craft services piece. I am also happy to throw a $20 or two in the hat when I get there to cover food.

BTW - BBQ sounds great.

Looking forward to the LART.
 
Hot dogs are perhaps the easiest meal to make on the face of this green earth. Someone can just drop by a Safeway or equivalent grab a tub of potatoe salad from the deli, 4 or 5 bags of buns, doritos, chips and hot dogs and we would be good to go. Also would be really easy to figure up how much it would break down to in cost.

The ol' clip board and hat collection routine usually works very well in these situations.
 
Food is definitely a must... I'm a connissieur of fine BBQ and can smoke a mean rack o' ribs myself. Anyway, I'm happy to chip in a bit if needed.

Oh, I don't eat hot dogs.
 
You guys should just get a few sponsor logos stuck on the test sets to pay for it all. Could be good colour exercise too. I imagine these images will be scrutinised by almost every professional in the industry for a while. So advertising dollars in exchange for supporting some local business's would be good!

Hmmm... This would ultimately be up to Gibby, but I would think having visible sponsors could be a bad thing. It's supposed to be an impartial and unbiased test. So any sponsors would have to be unrelated to the industry so that question of being impartial isn't raised. Saying that, I'm not so sure other businesses would find it a usable advertising source outlet. Might be able to pull off some swaps for food in exchane for advertising a local BBQ joint.
 
We chip in ourselves and plaster stickers with OUR names all over the test sets!
Sponsored by: Kilgroe, That One Guy, Sharky, Gibby etc.

One thing I can't understand:
We buy 25k-40k+ cameras but have no money for food?
Either we blew our wads in their entirety, or we're just plain stupid...

Hehe... I didn't want sound to imposing, but I wouldn't mind pitching in a bunch and having banners/signs promoting my companies all over the place in every shot. :) So yeah, I had already thought of that.

But Billy's right... No reason we all shouldn't be able to pitch in a bit for food and other supplies. We're not broke (or shouldn't be) as we're spending a lot to buy these cameras and many of us are already coming in from out of state at our own expense to play with these new toys. And if most of you guys are like me, probably didn't think twice about the cost of travel and missing a few days of work or whatever.
 
I don't think the cost is the problem so much as determining who's going to be spending the money where and on what and how it's going to be kept warm if it needs to be warm or cold if it needs to be cold.

We *could* just go across a street and eat out en-masse.
