Sorry, just saw this! I'm blind..:pinch:
I'm not sure that The Couch is exclusive enough for you lot :innocent:
I cannie make the whole afternoon, but I'd love to pop by for a beer to meet you all if it's still cool. I guess if the table's full I could go and stand in the corner in disgrace...
 
Glad to have you along

LOL! Us exclusive ! You must be joking! I was born in Birmingham Fergus and the sh1t I had to take for my 'accent' was unholy when I moved south. Then we have PC from up norf - I'm sure he wouldn't mind me saying that like me he's as common as muck:w00t:

Just make sure you pop by the cash machine before sticking your nose through the door - I'm sure we'll find you a seat somewhere - tut tut - make mine a San Miguel - cheers, Phil

Hi Fergus, Please PM your email if you would like to be added to the informal UK RED USER emailing list. Actually that goes for ANYONE reading this. We have had a few problems getting a mail list togther; so please don't think that we're running a closed shop - far from it - it's open to anyone. Please check that your email address is correct as we've had a few submissions that have bounced.

If you are going to work in London/UK and are based in another country and want to be added that's fine by us. So please PM that email to be added.

All the best, Phil

Hi Folks,

Just to let you know the main topics of conversation that came up at the meeting yesterday in no particular order:

Firstly it was great to meet new London based production people Vito an Dale. Both young 'turks' full of gusto! Also marvelous Tony came along as well as Chris. Thanks for chipping in chaps!

It was also nice to see Rory pop in for a cup of coffee, as he is up to his neck in work. He mentioned the collimation problem that has affected a few early RED users. It seems RED were all over it and quickly sorted the problems out. Top hole!

Two guys were brave enough to bring their Mac Book's in: Nick gave us an early look at SHAKE and a quick compositing demo! Very impressive! Mean while Colm had downloaded the latest footy. We were unanimous in our praise of the clapper board loader, who appeared all too briefly at the being of a superb clip, that looked like it was shot on top of a mountain in brilliant sunlight.

One of the comments that came up as we were looking at the footy is QT's Gamma problem. Yuk! You would think that someone clever would do something about the codec wouldn't you?

I got into a conversation with Colm about monitor colour calibration which is a recurring problem for me. Incredibly he opened his bag and pulled out a colour calibration tool ! Top marks for being clairvoyant there Colm! .

The National Film and Television School day got a unanimous thumbs up by the group. Though Colm did point out that we should try and limit it to 5 people per camera and offer more sessions if the interest is there.

For those of you who enjoy a good laugh at your writers expense, you will be delighted to here that I got the best part, of a pint of San Miguel tipped into my lap ! Ohh well - it had to happen to someone. Fortunately it had dried out by the next time I needed to pay a visit.

And then to cap it all off; we were visited by, not one, but two 'Mysterious Travelers. The first had meerly lost her way and sat at the wrong table - fair enough - the second; who was a strikingly good looking and well made up blonde women, whom I assummed was either an actress or a model; actually turned out to be in the fashion biz. She bore an uncanny resemblance to one of the 'RED milk girls' and I couldn't help but feel that it was hugely ironic, and that her presence there, was not entirely coincidental. Those synchronicity forces have been hard at work again!

As most of you know we are running an informal, non exclusive, UK RED user e-mail list; where, RED users can easily contact each other. Just PM me your email if you want to be added. It's open to anyone who might need a RED in London or the UK.

All the best, Phil
 
I'm sorry I missed it..:pinch:
I got stuck behind my computer again...:construction:

Thanks for the advice on sending the money.

Who's going to get the camera first? Could you let us know how it all worked in Customs :shiftyph34r:
 
For those I'd met before, it was great to meet again, and those I hadn't met previously it was good to finally meet you!

Thanks again for arranging things Phil. I did not feel so great yesterday mind you, and I had to drive a couple hundred miles! Next time I'm sticking to just coffee. :)
