  • 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

Ted-

Thanks for the Epic Reducation course. What a power-packed couple of days it was. *The stream-line evolution of the four-day Reducation course in December to the Epic course is a sight to behold. * What a great companion piece to add to the Red playbook. *You wet our lips with the montage of Red-shot movies that would make the most confident camera company green - or perhaps more appropriately red- with envy. The euphoric, 4K footage projected on the monstrous screen can only be experienced to believe. *Descriptions only fall short. *I hadn't warmed my seat up before we were putting *our Epic package together. *The slates were cracking and the drives were burning files before you could say "5K, full debayer."*

Screening in 4K and tweaking in Red Cine-X Pro rounded out the start-to-finish first-day. *

The free-form second day was the icing on the cake, Cake Boss. *We all went our separate ways to glutton ourselves on vintage car shoots, *taser fascination, rig set-up rigamaroles and post work-flow recipes.

The TA's row-with-the-flow attitude allowed each group an individualized, organic shape. *The top-down attitude within Red -that it wants to be the best- trickles down and unites TA field-generals and student foot-soldiers in a common goal. * What a great lot! *Shout out to Big Lu -the big Teddy Bear TA who took every dare we threw at him to push the Epic- for imparting his wisdom.

Under the weather I left before the final footage review but I left with confidence in*my skill set and in Red's role in the universe. I pushed back from the table full from a feast of a new technology that I have only begun to fully digest on my plane ride back to Virginia.

Many thanks to the Dean of Reducation, Brian, Bree and all the supporting cast for pulling off a great course.

Highest regards,

Jonas Collins

I absolutely agree with Jonas. I would add that Andrew was the perfect TA for me. He was a great help with all his insight in prepping the camera to the R3D workflow.

We will continue to work on the format of REDucation and really appreciate the feedback - we had ten EPIC packages on the stage last week and lots of footage being uploaded to the FTP server for the students to play with. Thanks to the 50 RED users who joined us.

The December event is officially finalized and open for registration, it will be similar in format to our May REDucation and will be held at RED Studios Hollywood.

December 5th-7th, REDucation
December 7th REDucation Open House
December 8th-9th, RED 3D (with Mark Pederson) and RED Post (with Michael Cioni)

The details are outlined at http://www.red.com/learn/reducation and registration is at http://decemberreducation.eventbrite.com

Anyone who can, should take this course. It was a pleasure to help out with it in the past. Mark and Michael will blow your minds with so much information. It's literally the best way to get hands on time with Epic and get training from experts in the field.

Not able to make the December show but would love another Post workshop date be available with Master Cioni in the very near future.
 
Just got back from LA, I was helping out at the Sep. Epic Reducation, I just want to let everyone know the course rocked, and not only there were over 11 Epics in the room, but we had outstanding Teachers... and support.
I totally recommend to take a class....

Cheers,
 
I would recommend by the way for those using the 300mm prime from RED double the 15mm rod attachmemts and then put lens support in middle so that the first part is fixed to the baseplate or quick-release platform and the last 15mm serves as a post for the end, much more stability and less chances of your beauty going back in for repair due to stress from the lens to the body.

Were looking at a future date. The December one is too close for us to deal with due to paperwork :P
Any suggestions on lodging close by?
I know its in L.A. and Im sure there are tons of options but any suggestions would be helpful :)

Eric,

We have a list of recommended hotels and some negotiated rates I will send you - any one else who is interested in the info let me know via PM.

Hiya, just wondering how often the Reducations take place? I've found out about the December one a little late. Are they looking to continue into 2012. Looks like a great event.

Thanks,

Matt
 
Ditto on the Dec RE. Would love to have as much lead time as possible for the next RE dates.

Thank you very much Adam, I really appreciate this... I really love what I do and am happy to share with Red Users like you who are so passionate about learning. Also, I had a great time talking to you the other night and I hope that our talk was helpful in getting your Scarlet X properly kitted out for your work.

See you at the REDucation Open House...

Cheers!
