[Billy Summers]

If I am around and not booked on a job, I'm down...

I would also be interested in meeting in Seattle.

I think it would be a great start for 2009 to make this happen in January.

Hello Seattle RED users.

I would just like to introduce myself to the forum and tell you a little about what I am doing.

I am part of a new facility in Seattle called LightPress.

We have just bought a 4K Quantel iQ Pablo system complete with Neo panel. The system is the only one in the Northwest and the only system that can actually play 4K. It fully supports native R3D, and infact we have already completed a couple of Red shot projects.

We are looking at doing some 3D stereoscopic projects, and would like to help any of you guys in any post production or color correction you may need.

We are always happy to do tests, and would love to show any of you our facility, introduce you to our staff, and present our technology to you.

As well as the Quantel system we have a Davinci 2K, telecine, HDCam SR, HDCam, DVCProHD, DigiBeta, HDV, Final Cut Pro with Color and tangent panels.

If anyone is interested in a tour about what we are doing please contact me off the list.

Shane,

Where are you guys located? Who's behind it? Quantel!?!?!?

Hi Mike, (and others)

Sorry for the delay in replying.

We are LightPress, and are on Western Avenue in Seattle. I am nothing to do with Quantel other than I own one of their machines.

Here we have a 4K Quantel iQ with Neo panel. It is at the time of this posting the only system here in Seattle that can actually play 4K files. It also supports 3D Stereoscopic output. Previously I worked for Flyingspot here in Seattle on an older Quantel eQ.

We have a DaVinci, telecine, Final Cut with Color and tangent panels, HDCamSR, HDCam, DVCProHD, HDV, DigiBeta, Beta SP, and DV.

We have completed several Red projects this year and have not run into any problems.

We have mixed R3D files with 16mm film. We can work with pretty much any format, and we can pretty much deliver any deliverable.

Our doors are always open for anyone that wishes to visit or ask questions. We will even run tests for you if you are unsure of anything. We are also willing to explain what we are doing.

We want to push this camera in town too. There are some fantastic DP's here, and the way I look at it is if you are busy, we will probably be busy.

Kind Regards

Shane
