  • 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 :)

San Francisco Bay Area Red Users

Still here!

In fact, my 7" LCD screen just arrived and I am installing it now!

I should have tripod this week. I can now say that I will be able to bring a full rig so let's meet up. I am happy to try to put together the meeting.

Chime in if you have some time in the next few weeks.

I am out of town the 24th and busy on the 18th and 25th, otherwise, Friday or Saturday eves is good for me until Thanksgiving week.

I hope you guys works this out and can get a meeting put together, BUT if it happens to be pushed back until after thanksgiving I won't be too disappointed as I'll be pretty busy until then ;)
 
Hey fellas,

Not sure what I would be able to contribute to a meeting (I am but a humble DVX shooter thus far) but I'd love to get some RED experience even if its just looking through the viewfinder and learning how to power her up and all that jazz. I've never shot film either or have owned a nice still camera so it would be a valuable learning experience for me. I'd be free typically on Saturdays, but November 1st is already out for me. I also wouldn't mind waiting a bit either.

Craig, before I got my RED, all I had shot on was a DVX too :) I'm sure everyone would love to have you at the meeting
 
That's right, I forgot about that, Brandon. I guess it isn't such a long shot for us miniDV guys after all hehe.

Absolutely not :) And BTW, as someone who never shot on anything more complicated than MiniDV tape, I feel like the transition to RED has been rather effortless. Now, ok, that could very well be because I've spent countless hours on this silly message board for the last 18 months, but still, it's amazing to me at even a hobbyist as myself can own, use and understand such an awesome tool. I'm indebted to the RED folks :) Looking forward to meeting you, Craig.
 
haha no doubt; I think even the big guns around here would admit to owing quite a lot to these invaluable forums here. RED does a damn good job of keeping everybody up to snuff. And I look forward to meeting you too Brandon, and the others too!
 
RED 18-50 or similar needed for a few hours in San Jose

RED 18-50 or similar needed for a few hours in San Jose

Like it says I want to Rent a lens for 4 hours sometime next week. I have a complete set of Canon glass that has been waiting for that stupid Birger mount that I am yet to receive. We are shooting a corporate video for Santa Clara County and they want to shoot 2 more interviews and I need a lens for only a few hours on 10-28 or 29. I will pay 150 cash. Normally we rent from Indie Rentals but in the middle of the week it costs us a lot because with the overnighting back and forth we have to rent for 2 or 3 days. anyway please call or email or IM me if anyone wants to rent me the lens for the day and is in the area. I own #759 and have shot Tons of footage but we're still waiting for this whole Birger thing to pan out and so like many otheres we're ovber a barrel for another week or two.

$150 is the going day rate for that lens anyway. There is plenty of red stuff (cameras, lenses etc.) at good prices that NOBODY should have to get them from LA. I have a 18-50mm available those days located in South San Francisco. A full list our gear is available at purebred.tv

oh .. and if you need a location that's more convenient to you, check reeldirectory.com as they now have a Red section.

Too close?

Too close?

Kennan,

I downloaded the hi-rez version of your Alaska work! Awesome man!

We would not discriminate. You are not too far as long as you can make it up!

I propose we look to second week of December to meet or I am going to have to go to January.

Anyone else in?

We will need a venue and an agenda.

Would be happy to host here in Napa if folks want to make the trip. Other ideas were Fort Mason SF and?.....................

Time for a meeting to ratify the SFBay RED users group!

I will create and host a blog/chat type website for us.

A bottle of my own wine (which just got pressed last weekend!) to the best domain name for the SFBay RED users website. Let's see some good submissions.

Alan,

Napa, actually I have a client shoot in Calistoga/St.Helena so maybe we should do coffee or wine before, ehhh ?

Kennan
 
OK, Napa it is!

Now for a date....
 
I'm down :) Napa makes my drive longer, but it's still do-able
 
Need some glass

Need some glass

R1# 04704 is now home. The 11/13 announcements have kinda dampened my excitement. But the BIG let down is, I am stranded without glass. My shipment of the Cooke 25-250 I ordered didn't come through as expected and I probably won't have it until another 10 days or so... :ranting2:

Here is my plea, can anyone afford to lend me a PL mount lens (any length, any speed) for a quick check. :help:

I can drive over with my kit and shoot under your supervision, over a cuppa coffee. A couple of minutes worth of footage is good for now.

Thanks,
Sandeep
