  • 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 in Arizona

I do believe there is a sidewalk on the North side of the South Hall. If we meet at entrance #1 by 8:30, we'll have plenty of time to see if we can enter on the North side by the RED booth.

P.S. Thanks Todd for posting the map. It really helps us who are visually oriented.
 
In Arizona

In Arizona

It looks like the future is Red, but for now I have the HVX200. I would love to get added to any Arizona Red Groups/lists. I am learning the HVX200 and Cinematography in general, but eventually when I hone my skills I will move up to the Red.

Anyways if there is any Arizona Red group please count me in.

Thanks,

OK boys, we have a lot to talk about! RedCine, two words, Holy Moly!
 
Now There's no good reason why every indy or local feature shot with a RED ONE shouldn't look like a big budget feature... oh yeah,..that's assuming you know how to use the tools!!

Matt and the rest of the AZ Users,

Rick here with Pro One Media. Curious about any new thoughts since NAB. I know the event needs to be delayed but any ideas as to when we should reschedule. I also have some questions on lenses for our next meeting.

Hey Rick, et al

I know that everybody is anxious to get things rolling and start the cameras working and such, but I think at this rate somebody should know exactly when they will have camera in hand before the dates are put in place.

I had a strong feeling that there was too much optimism about getting the cameras soon and I have a feeling it may go a bit slower even still. Not being pessimistic here, just want to error on the side of cautious optimism. :)

I hope everybody is well.

Getting ready

Getting ready

I agree we should not jump the gun, but I just wanted to keep up and be ready for the launch.
 
Hey Everyone,

We are still playing catch-up after our week long stay in Vegas. After I checked with several different sources at NAB (including Jim Jannard), The closest they could place the shipment of my first camera (#18) is around the end of June. Seeing how it would be a good thing to have at least a month to shoot and edit a 4k demo reel, I would say that the end of August, beginning of September would be a better time to have the media event. More people will be in town and it will give us more time to plan.
That being said, how about Monday the 14th of May for the next Az Red Users' Group meeting? Same place, same time. Let me know!

-Matt
 
Hey Guys!

My name is Daniel Gourley of PretoPost Media Solutions.

We are Res# 249 and are excited about the opportunities this camera is going to bring.

Right now we are in process of screenplay writing on our first feature "Convenience". We work mostly in corporate video and Web but are looking at shooting our full-length film end of this summer.

Love the comraderie!
 
Not only are we waiting for cameras, but let's not forget about waiting for FCP support. Last I heard at the show was that FCP6 was to be released in a couple months but the support for Red was going to come after that. How long is that, nobody knows. I would guess no more than a couple months after initial release but it sure would make it easy to have it ready to go when the cameras finally start arriving.

I'm sure there are work arounds out there (Scratch), but if you want to work in 4k your going to have to wait it out. If you don't care about 4k, you could always downconvert to whatever flavor of codec you prefer with RedCine.

I'd vote for a change in venue for meeting. It was pretty cramped last time, as well as being hard to hear what was going on at the ends of the table. I could arrange a meeting in downtown Phoenix in the studio of the First Studio building? Basically 1st Ave & McKinley. Would that work?

I'm out of town on the 14th. Could do it anywhere from the 17th on.

Would like to come as well. My wife is pregnant and our C-Section is on the 21st so before that would be Fan-Tabulous!

Let me know where "the usual" place was so I could make that if it is chosen.

Also, I work at a large church off of 43rd and Northern, Pure Heart Christian Fellowship. We have a 700+ seat auditorium with a 9X12' screen with a Sanyo Projector with 3000:1 Contrast Ratio. Let me know in anyway how I might be able to help!
 
I'm flexible, but a change of venue would be good as well. Not too good for interaction.

You will be able to edit straight away in FCP (or probably any other QT supporting NLE). The specific RED support in FCP due later enhances the integration and gives you some more options to play around with. But you can definitely use it to do an offline edit for example.
 
Are we on for tonight? I saw where Alex can not make it. I could also make the 17th as he asked for. I am available tonoight too. Just let me know.
 
Is the meeting tonight or next Monday? I also vote to have change in venue so we can have better interaction. Perhas we could use one on the alternative venues mentioned and order in some pizza?
 
Rob,

What we really need to know is if we will be able to edit in FCP 6 with the end results being a 4k master that we can then project at 4k using the Sony unit. Also, what hardware will be needed to get 4k out of my computer to the 4k projector? (physical connections and all hardware requirements)

Thanks,

-Matt
 
Everyone,

The meeting is not tonight. I had originally planned for the night of the 14th, but it looks like we're going to move it to help accommodate more schedules. Also we will pick a new location. There is a hall that I use to teach FCP classes in central Phoenix. It has a nice projector and plenty of room. It will work well for our purposes. I will let you know.

Thanks,

-Matt
 
My mistake, I had my Monday's confused. Been busy and thought it was the 14 today. I'm open to any location and time.

Sorry,

Rick

FCP at the moment cannot do 4K, so no. What you do is edit an offline and then conform that to your 4K. Which is what we did with Crossing the Line.

I don't know much about connecting your computer to a 4K projector. We use specialized boxes (like a KG or QuVis, see http://www.red.com/gear-we-use.shtml) to do the playback. The KG we used for NAB supports 4K playback and 7.1 (I think) audio output at the same time.
