  • 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 :)

Santa Cruz REDuser's Group

So what happened

So what happened

Hi Jason,

I was booked yesterday, and I know another NorCal Red owner had a family commitment this weekend.

Sorry things didn't go well,

Steve
 
Well, next week is thanksgiving...

How about trying again on Friday the 4th of Dec.?

That's two weeks out, and still before all the holiday engagements begin.

Let's go for Cafe Pergolesi (http://theperg.com/) at 8pm.

They have free wifi as well, so if we have a couple laptops around, we can share work that we've shot, etc.

Anyone down for it?

I'm finishing up a week-long shoot that day but free the entire next week (12-7 through 12-13).

I hope to meet up with you all soon!
Take care, Sean
 
Hi I Came into Red by Accident and Fell in Love with it before I buy it I want to

learn. Because I don't know Squat about this camera or how to shoot a

Film.
 
Okay, I just checked my holiday calendar, and I'm free on Fri the 11th.

So NO to the 4th, yes to the 11th of Dec.

Marco, and all are welcome to come. Link to location is above.

If anyone else can make it, let me know... either in this thread or by pm.

Lets talk workflow, stage choice, lenses, composition, etc.

Santa Cruz on Dec 11th. 2009

I'm "in". Looking forward to it!

Take care. Sean
 
I won't be able to attend and I would have little to contribute if I were able because I have no RED experience as of yet, but I'm glad you guys are paving the way for future Santa Cruz-area meetings.

Pergolesi might be a bit loud and crowded on a Friday night though. I've only been there a few times, but it might be standing room only at best and there might be a live band playing at worst. Not that there's anything wrong with that and it's a cool place to grab some coffee, but I wonder how much RED discussion you'll manage. If you've been there a bunch of times on a Friday night and I'm way off base, then please ignore me, but I just thought I'd mention it.

However your meeting goes, please post about the aftermath.
 
I have a shoot the 3-4th of December. Yes to the 11th of Dec.
I know Santa Cruz well.

Looks like a couple of people are up for the 11th...

Hopefully a few more will chime in as well.

I can't wait!

(Hopefully we'll have some more to discuss after this afternoon.)
 
TONIGHT!

TONIGHT!

The Perg... 8pm.

Just a reminder.

I have an old NAB brochure with a big old Red logo that I'll put on whatever table I grab.

See you all there!

Fun meeting!

(Next time I'm only getting a single mocha, though. I was kind of wired all night, after.)

We should try again next month and see if we can get a slightly better turn out.
 
Guys, I'm weeping here... you had a RED party in Santa Cruz in the rain and nobody called to let us know after trying to set one up for months?

I'm thinking that perhaps we need a little email notification/pm list before the next one... does anybody feel like that might be a good idea - if needs, send me a pm with an email address and I'll make up a group and kick out a notice for those of us who are out and about and can't check the listings too often...


Chris.
chris@CLAi.tv :sad:
 
Chris,
Sorry you missed it.

Shall we try to set another one up for early January?

I'd like to see a little better turn out, as I know there are others around...

I'll pm you my email, if you want to start a list.
 
Hey Guys,
I'm hoping I can make it out to the next meeting. Though I don't currently own a RED, I have worked alongside Kennan Ward, who many of you in this community have heard of, both in the field and as his senior editor. I would love to get more connected with other RED owners and users to see what everyone is doing!

And I agree with Chris about having an email go out as a reminder when a meeting comes up. I am often on the road/in the field and don't have a chance to check reduser as much as I'd like!

-Philip
 
Regarding Chris' idea for an email list for future meetings, here's my email:
sklaskey@comcast.net

I met up with Jason last week in SC. The value in the meetings is:

1. Meet cool (like-minded) people and learn from them.
2. Become "emergency" equipment sources for each other ("Help! I'm up HWY1 and a bear just ate my CF cards!")
3. Crew with each other.
4. Find out who does/has what... Steadicam, cranes, dollies and tracks, underwater stuff, extreme-conditions gear, etc., etc.

I look forward to the next meeting! Take care.

Sean
 
Sean et al, any idea of how many attendee's would show up if there were no time conflicts with anyone's schedules? I'm near San Jose I've seen virtually no flag waiving from anyone who admits to being from the South Bay interested in Red or interested in film education How broad an area are you servicing do you think?

Please include me in your mailing list: tcduran@whitedovefilms,com Please be sure to give decent notice

(The "period" on my keyboard went out on my new, one week old, Dell)
 
South Bay

South Bay

Hi Tim,

I'm in the south bay, and if fact we held a RED event a couple of months back at Silicon Valley Studios. Chris and Brandon and I were there, and another fellow who just moved to the bay area who's name I can't recall at present.

We had four RED's up and running in a general education event.

I've had my hands full lately and was unable to attend the last Santa Cruz based event, but some of us are already discussing doing some more outreach like events in the new year here in the valley.

I'll keep you updated.

All the best,

Steve
 
Hey, Tim.

I'm not sure how many would attend a Santa Cruz event as I'm probably the most recent addition. I actually live in Pleasanton. I'm happy to meet with the San Jose "and" the Santa Cruz users... the more, the better!

I've had my Red for about 2 months now and for the most part, I've worked through a ton of issues making the transition. The forum has been my best friend but there's not a substitute for sharing info in-person. I'm a Steadicam Op. and recently got my Steadicam Flyer LE to accept a Red. Coming in at the 19lb payload limit took some effort. Doing it with only the web/forum as a guide yielded pretty good results... but I'm sure it would have been a lot faster and probably a lot more efficient had I had someone to ask.

I think all of us have some tips we can offer to others to make their lives easier. Let's got together in the new year!

Take care.

Sean
