RED101 DVD Now Shipping!

post dvd?

post dvd?

I'm more into learning about post production with RED media, but I may get this DVD set to get a better understanding of everything-RED, can't hurt.

What about a DVD like this for post workflows? Talk about the needed hardware and recommended 3rd party software? From when the DIT gets the media, to the dailies, to the offline, to the online, to delivery formats and everything in between. Does something like this already exist (other than this awesome website)?
 
Very cool! I loved the quick clips Jay posted a while back about the birger mount. I look forward to spending 3hs more with you.

A very enthusiastic +1 for a Post DVD!
 
Wow guys.. I don't know what to say here.

First thanks for the specific and wonderful reviews.. They really help me alot.

Now for the post DVD. There's no doubt that this is something that's needed, and it's also a good thing in that we do not expect Epic or Scarlet to change a lot in the way of post so that's cool.

The problem up to now has been that post is a moving target. There has been SO MUCH technology on Post and SO many changes in the last few months, that we worry every time we put something together, it would be obsolete by the time it went to print.

Think about Apple and their updates. And then think about REDCine-X that just came out.. Then think about REDRocket! Then there's Premiere Pro, Vegas, and Assimilate's changes etc.

Where would you want us to start? And then, where would you want us to stop?

In this case a digital download would be a better idea, but I don't do "Little Videos" with a couple days editing. When we make something, every segment takes us 30-40 hours to make so we'd be charging something like $15-$35 dollars for a segment.

Perhaps you should communicate with Chris at Digital Cinema Lessons and tell him what you want to see and perhaps he can find someone to make a video on it.

I'm not saying "no" we had PLANNED a post section when we did the DVD, but it did not take long to see it was problematic. Now looking back, had we tried to make it, it would have been a disaster. :scared:

One question: If we WERE to do a post DVD on RED. What would you want to see!?
 
Thanks Jay, got the DVD, and my friend is pretty happy with it, I watch part of it with him, then I had to split, but I must say you really did an excellent job, on it, and the vendors should be very proud of your work with their products, very well exposed and presented, well spoken, and nicely paced, again GREAT JOB JAY!!

The additional Motion Portraits DVD was nice to get as well, that I kept and will watched later tonight, I like the title as I love " FIRE" he he.

Gibby was right, this is something every "RED ONE" Owner and or want to be one, and or want to rent one, should get this!

Thanks Ketch... Great quote! I'm already at work on the next one.. I think you guys will love it. It's gonna be a little tough, but should be a good thing.

HOPE to have it ready by NAB

(Epic and Scarlet DVDs will also happen, but that's later)

I has finished watching the DVD and I must say that it is very well put together and very informative. He love the Info button part where you can click and get better understanding of certain stuff he was teaching about. I also like the fact that he showed different 3rd party gears one can use with the Red one.

Speaking of third party, JAy can you recommend some cool lights LED kits for someone setting up a studio to interior and exterior shooting. I noticed you are using them to light up your set. So can you give me the configurations you think are necessary to have as a kit. I am kinda confused on how whether to go with 5600k Flood or 5600 spot or 3200 Spot or 3200 flood. And how many i might need as a start up kit.. Also, are the HMI 1200 a must have at this point.

I am asking you all these cos I see you recommended them on your DVD.

Well Richard send me a 150W HMI, so I have experience with that, and we love it. For a kit, I would recommend 4 LED 600s. 3 floods and one spot. I think he's selling some minus greens with frames.. Get those also. And be sure to get the battery plate for them.. Those things are a GOD send and will power your Light for up to an HOUR on a brick.

Hope this helps.

I hear Richard has some more powerful ones coming.. I'd need to test those, but I'd be interested in seeing how they work also.

Viewed disc 1 today. Very informative and, like I feared, costly: I ended up adding a bunch of items in my shopping list...
 
Jay, was wondering if you intend to put out a video like this for the Scarlet Fixed when it comes out.....If so it would be great if you could but in a section on the use of redcine....Thanks

Yes Norman, we are slated to do DVDs on Scarlet and Epic.. I think you will see a lot of people try to do DVDs on them. We figured we'd "Prove Ourselves" and make our name on the RED One.. This way when people see we have produced videos for the new cameras, they will be confident we know what we're doing.

:)

Hey Jay,

Thanks for explaining about the post DVD, I hadn't thought of that. I think the fact that everything is changing so fast is why it's difficult for me to follow the trends! I'll stick to reading the posts on this site for a while and I'll let Chris know if I need something specific.

Thanks again.
 
Just got done watching it and its just awesome. Learned a ton. Well done Jay
highly recommend this to anyone.
 
Has anyone watched the software setup module on disk one.. Anyone catch the shot where we turned the camera on and waited for it to boot up...

The crew an I always laugh pretty hard during that shot. I left it in there cause it was REAL TIME waiting for the camera to boot.. I felt like that once when they were ready to go on set and we had to reboot the camera.

Oh well.. I thought it was funny...

Tim did you see it?

Jay

Jarred's favorite part is the blooper reel on disk 2.. That may have something to do with the fact that there's no whole lot about the RED he does not already know.
 
New review on RED101 DVD

New review on RED101 DVD

Hey Guys... If you have not seen it, check out this review from Ted at RED:

Good additional resources for RED ONE learning and preparing yourself before you shoot.

I want to mention to those visiting this thread, a couple of other valuable ways to learn about RED.

*Jay A. Kelley produced (and stars in :-) *the RED 101 DVD - it's quite comprehensive and a good starting point if you like an audio / visual way of learning. *Jay is a super early RED ONE adopter that works with his camera professionally on a regular basis, He really knows the gear and how to use it.

It's not meant to be a learning tool for those already well versed in the camera (although it's a good refresher for those like me that work with the camera in some fashion almost every day) It's well designed and executed to give you the run down of the camera, its functionality, the menu structure etc. * It covers how to set up projects and use the internal tools of the RED ONE to expose the camera, set up the camera for various styles of shooting for different types of projects and deliverables and a number of other needed areas of learning to be ready to get great results from your RED ONE shooting.

The DVD covers quite a lot of info, and Jay is on camera talking to you for a lot of the video - His homespun style is fun and enjoyable, it's not a a flat, boring instructional DVD - he's got lots of his personality weaved in there. *I would recommend taking watching it in small to medium sized chunks, and not watching it all in one sitting, while having the RED ONE operations manual as a reference point to review each section that's covered (a free download here: *http://www.red.com/support)

Jay covers the RED pretty much from all angles to get you primed and ready to shoot, and a bunch of 3rd party gear as well. *Note that RED did not have a hand in producing this, so there are some things in his video we may not totally agree with (different opinions on certain things is what makes life interesting), but overall I wouldn't recommend it if if didn't do a good job handling the material and covering what is needed to make the right choices when jumping into RED, which it does very well.

Thanks for the great review Ted!

Our order has finally moved forward. It practically takes an act of congress to get anything done around here ;)
 
Important news..

Important news..

If you are interested in Epic and Scarlet, and have questions about what to buy..

There is a new DVD coming.... I cannot give details right now (need a few days) but I will say that if you are purchasing the RED101DVD this DVD will cost less than $12.00... If you have already bought the RED101 DVD then you will still pay less than $12.00 AND you will have gotten that "hot gift" as well..

More info coming
