REDusers in Vancouver

Can you fill me in on what Canada customs wanted for duties?
Why are you selling if it's ok to ask?

No idea on the duties to Canadian imports of film/video equipment from the USA. Maybe someone else in this forum can help answer that for us?

The reason I have to consider selling is that the writers strike has hurt us a little more than expected so I'm conserving for cash flow, just in case. I figure I'll buy another RED later on.

If the camera is going to a company that is putting it to work in the film/TV industry there will be the no PST, 5% GST and a small amount of duty depending on what accessories you have. I believe that the body itself falls under NAFTA rules as a duty free item but some of the accessories do not. I ended up paying about $250 in duty. I also made the mistake of having the camera sent to me personally, and not a company, so got dinged another $2200 for PST that I need to put a claim in to get back.
 
FYI there is a group of eight or ten RED owners in the Vancouver area, who have combined forces to promote and educate about the RED One.

Jim van Dijk, Richard Metzker and I make up Inspired Cinema. We're a rental & workflow house specializing in the Red, and we're acting as a loose hub of sorts for local RED owners and people interested in knowing more. We are actively promoting the camera, and are currently supplying multiple camera packages, including SciFi's new show and several high-profile docs and features.

We're hosting invite-only workflow and footage demos monthly with Digital Film Central in their 2K grading facility. We have our own rental facility down near Clark & Powell for prep and camera tests etc.

If you're in Vancouver, interested in seeing footage or wanting to know more about the camera, send me a PM or contact us via inspiredcinema.com.

I am coming to Vancouver and will be shooting my short on my RED Camera. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get in touch with a solid Data Tech person to be on set and monitor the workflow?
 
And Inspired Cinema's ticking along - stop by and see Richard and all the gear at 1441 Powell (that is... if it's not all rented out :)

Hi! I'm looking for a DP in the Vancouver area. Just came from LA, and looking to shoot a short film in BC possibly in June.

Please PM me if interested!

Thank you,

I'll be in Vancouver for a few days in early September, anyone want to meet up?

I'm going to try to check out some studios while I'm there. Especially looking for a dog-friendly vfx/anim/post house. Any suggestions?
