  • 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 :)

REDUSER Retreat

Josh Beadle said:
Well if it's invite only then I'm out - can't seem to stay on the Island (wink wink). You know what Scott Kelby does with his still photo educational/mini trade-show road tour is a concept that I would like for RED to explore. The proof of concept for a road show could be this retreat where there is classroom instruction (REDCine Certification ?!?!), 3rd party vendor displays / presentations, user round table discussions and perhaps a film festival where we can hand out awards to each other like they do in Hollywood. Central US might be best, like Denver area. Boulder is nice anytime of year and is close enough to the Mts if some folks want to go skiing after. Got a major airport there that flies direct from/to most cities.

Nothing set in stone yet, so definitely keep an eye on this thread.

Sounds like a great idea, you guys are lucky to have such cool locations to choose from, for me it would be desert, desert, desert, motorway, or desert.

That could be Reduser Retreat 2013 - Journey to the Desert

Lots of potential here :-)

Love to know more. How long are you imagining? Like a long weekend? Fly in Thursday night, fly out Sunday or Monday?

Exactly Shawn. Long weekend just as you described.
 
Cost would be a big factor, having it within carpool range from NYC would help us west coasters.

Or...just get Jim or Jarred to offer a location around LA? Or... did Red Ranch in Vegas ever happen?
 
+ 1 for RENO! jk!

Grand plan Mr Sherrick, they say Colorado is smack dab in the middle. Why not Rocky Mountains and Snow to test the Epic's HDRX and DR to the muthaeffin max!

Kilgore? Beuhler?
 
East AND West. LA seems to have a lot and NYC on the right coast. A few people prep some demos/talks, but informal and maybe vendors pay a fee to come pitch their products; therefore contributing to the cost? People bring what they are doing, so a RED film festival from personal projects with a bit of a critique. - Could be cool and actually a write off if we are attending "classes" etc. and like it or not, we would all be learning something new from each other...
 
just had a thought... what about more than one, simultaneously. could be anywhere from 3-30 participants. i.e. east coast/west coast... or even northwest, southwest, central, northeast, southeast, canada, europe, etc etc. maybe not the place to start out, but that could be cool and if there is a LOT of interest, could keep numbers reasonable so it's not just a big convention. it would be cool (if we can get it in the woods) to have a small portion of sharing between the groups over the web. i.e. each group presents some shots or very short films made that weekend. always nice to see different parts of the world in high resolution style... i dunno, just some thoughts. the best part would be the retreat and rejuvenation that can be found in that setting amongst new perspectives and bonds, but something like that might be a good way to build larger community and context to transition back into the "real world" :)

haha, kevin... nice idea. :) ever heard of collective unconscious?
 
josh! boulder seems like a really cool place. but consider the implications of sending your kid off to college... and then following them there. independence! :)
 
I'd suggest we pay close attention to locations that Airlines offer aggressive pricing for.. I.E. Florida can sometimes get tickets as low as $150 each way.
Let's attack this from a cost perspective first..
Nice quiet area, but within 20 or 30min of airport.

Thinking out loud here

From second cities like San Diego, to the East Coast you have to change planes at a hub - making travel an all day affair and raising the chances of lost luggage 73% give or take. My vote is to locate the event near a hub so everyone is flying a single segment to get there.

Just got back to Diego from Miami - 14 hour ordeal complete with: broken down connecting plane causing major delay and . . . yup, luggage lost in Cincinnati.
