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 :)
I am going to be shooting a short film in Taiwan in August, and interested in shooting it on the RED. Does anyone know whether it is possible to rent one there?
simple: Where in Taiwan are you going to be? I'm in Taipei, waiting for my RED one, but I haven't heard of any owners or rentals happening here yet. At this level, they're still shooting a lot of 35mm film product for even commercial shoots.
I've heard of several in HK, a couple in the Philippines, in Singapore (Doh!), etc. Hong Kong's an hour's flight, so it is a viable option.
Let me know if you need any other info and I'll try to help!
We have 3 here,
2 own by us, Tiger 1647, and Dragon 1648
and one more from a friend 1304
just ordered another one
with 2 full Arri lens set, zoom, follow focus, Arri matt box and tripod
Other filming gears and crew
2 Qualified DIT on location, with iMac and MacBookPro on location
3D Rig for Red for 1cm to ???cm inter ocular alignment, mount on Warral geared head www.filmmagic.com.hk
Hey Percy, it sounds like you're busy and that's the way to be! You also sound like you could be a great help to me when I get my camera in, hopefully, September. I may make a trip to HK in August and I hope that I can come by your office for a chat.
ALLSTAR, simple hasn't followed up since his or her first post. Are you in Taiwan? What's your setup or help mode? I'll be shooting here in October, I hope, and could use some resources....
percy, sounds great for a trip to the "Big City"! :>)
ALLSTAR, can you PM me? I'm looking forward to my own RED ONE in September, but lots of networking could be done before then. I need crew and tech for my shoot, hopefully around early November. Keep in touch and give me details, please.
Actually, most film people here know each other. I've just been laying real low for the last three years and lost my good contacts. Not hard to fix, though. Everyone's excited when a new camera rolls!
