  • 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 :)

REDucation 2012 Dates and Info

Prepping for NYC. This class should be a lot a fun for everyone. The Studio Space we have in Brooklyn is going to be great. Big enough to set up our 4k projector for the students to see their work in 4k, and plenty of room to shoot on their studio back lot and in the stages.

As those know that have taken REDucation in the past, you know we are always tweaking the class for the maximum learning value and hands on time.

This time around I've changed up most of the 3rd day of the class to make it into a real world shoot and prep files on set for viewing and post production. Each team of Students will be shooting and using various Red Rocket PC and Mac Configs to load the 5k and 4k RED Raw Files, and drive them just as would be happening on real world shoots.

We have about 7 slots left open for the class, so if you want to register this week, we can still take a few more students.

One thing I'm wondering about the LA event..., is it ok to take photos? Would love to do little photoblogging here and there (i read somewhere you had to ask permission).


Also, kinda off-topic but the film Prometheus which was shot on Red is released a few days before... It would be awesome to see if some people form the group would be keen to go along to check it out...


Can anyone recommend any good cinemas in the area? Otherwise this might be a sweet night activity for people to get involved in.




Cheers,

Hello,

I'll be there as an Adobe employee helping with Adobe / CS6 workflow on day 3. Looking forward to it.

I've been toying with the idea of brining my Epic set up for Run N Gun and maybe grabbing some footage while in NY maybe in the evening hours one of the nights...
 
Great, I am signing up this evening, very excited!

I was just curious if the 3 day portion wad mandatory to take the 3d class? I've been shooting red for about 3 years. Also will 3d be offered in LA in June? If not does anyone know when the next 3d class will be offered?
 
It is not mandatory just recommended for those who do not have RED experience. We will have the 3D course again in LA in December - and in NY next week but in June we will be running two different extension courses.
 
Christian,

I reopened registration for 3D - it will be at Off Hollywood starting at 9am on Thursday.

Any chance I could bring a audio field recorder to help me with my notations from the course? I am new to stereography and I don't want to miss anything, but I figured I'd ask ahead of time rather then lug it in for no reason should you guys say its a no go...Thanks!
 
any more details about what i could see at the Open house ?

it mention 4K screenings : it will be on projector ?a 4K projector ? the Red Projector ?

thanks

Reducation in NYC was great.

Day one was like drinking from a fire hose. We went into over-time by an hour, and I went back to my room and immediately crashed, dreaming of camera builds. By the end of day two my confidence with the Epic had increased an order of magnitude- even though I've had the camera for several months, and the Red One for several years. Day three was still like drinking from a fire hose, but I am now capable of absorbing fire-hose levels of Red info. :)

Here is the down and dirty for those thinking about the next class (This does not include post production, but I imagine that the same rules apply):

1. Class format:
a. There is a set agenda that covers the really basic to the really advanced from day one to three- it is all great info.
b. It is ok to bring audio recorders, and the notes and tutorials are available as downloads
c. The day is basically broken into lecture, application- hands on, and review on a 4k projector
d. The application time is a great way to try out accessories you are not familiar with
e. If there is a specific feature you want to cover (like canon mount rack focus) then make sure you ask your TA about it and set it up for one of your shots

2. Resources:
a. If you want to focus on the advanced stuff, then find a TA and do a breakout session or skip some of the lecture to cover what you want
b. If you decide to skip some lecture, make sure it is something you already know well before you decide to skip
c. The class is designed so that you can cover what you want, just make sure you speak up and let someone know what you want
d. There are tons of TAs available- all skilled industry people- if they don't know the answer, someone will
e. The students are a great resource as well, many people there will have a ton of knowledge
f. prepare to have to think and figure things out with help- this is hands-on, but no one can do the work for you

3. 4k projector
a. Watching your footage in 4k is invaluable for this camera and workflow
b. I can't stress this enough
c. I've been working with these cameras and footage for almost five years and had not seen 4k content until this week- it changes everything
d. Basically until you see your content in 4k you just don't understand- this alone is worth the price of the class
e. Make sure you use the application time to get familiar with the camera and shoot as much as possible
f. Make sure your content gets in the reel for review- you can do this by working with your TA when you decide on shots

4. Ted Schilowitz
a. I wasn't sure how much "Ted time" would be included in the class- rest assured Ted is in there with you every step of the way
b. This guy knows red technology and how to hit these cameras right in the sweet spot, as well as RED's design intent which is subtle but important info
c. Ask Ted questions- I asked a ton, and Ted was there with a smile on his face answering every one
d. Seriously- I was the extremely annoying question guy (not on purpose- I'm just naturally annoying) and Ted smiled, and answered my questions every time
 
I noticed registration for both LA Reducation next week and the LA Reducation open house is still open. Are there still spots available for both events?
 
We still have a few spots open for REDucation and the open house registration will be open until the 13th.
