  • 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 :)

use of red logo ?

The Red logo is not a technology standard to which the end film operates on. So "shot on" i think is appropriate. Dolby, THX, DTS, DVD are all operating technology labels and shouldnt be grouped as the same. Shot on RED is like "Filmed with Panavision lenses and cameras".

But I agree, less is more

Just curious here... Why list the "shot on" or "produced with" hardware x, software y, etc.. in the credits? I always approached that as if it were advertising space at the end of my film. If Sony wants a "Shot with Sony HDV" at the end of my film credits, they had better supply me with my tape stock or discounted equipment rental, thank you very much. Of course, then there's Panavision where AFAIK, it's right there in the rental agreements about placing Panavision tags in the film credits and you're obligated on release to do so.

I'll take your statement a step further. Credits, to my mind, are part of the finished artwork. The signature of the painting, if you will, and are completely the domain of the primary artist of the movie. A company that demands I modify the credits is a company that is trampling my freedom of expression. If Panavision has a requirement to add them to the credits, I won't rent from them. I also won't even consider using SAG actors simply for the reason that SAG requires their logo to be put in the credits along with the statement "Special Thanks to Screen Actors Guild". They dare to demand I modify my art? Forget that! Freedom of speech is important enough that it must trump financial viability.
 
I think RED is a bit different though in that independant artists have rallied behind the technology and have somewhat ownership and pride in the brand. "Sticking it to the big guy!" is what RED's all about. Completely volountary ofcourse, but I think certain independant filmmakers will take pride in pioneering the technology in their respective field and wont mind showing it in their credits on a DVD or whatever.

I am planning to do that... absolutely!
 
I always thought that having a bunch of logos at the end of the film (er... movie) meant that the work was that much more profesional... within the 'establishment'... a statement that says that 'this work was created using what our industry has to offer'.

Not only that, but it's often only industry people (movie professionals or aspiring types) who really care and will sit through the credits to see these final touches. When the lights come on in the theater, I'm usually sitting there alone...with my very patient girlfriend of course. I'm looking forward to adding Shot with RED to my next project.
 
How about on Wikipedia? We need one there.

Stupid question, to bring back this thread... (not point in starting a new one)

It there any copyright issues on printing out posters of the camera beauty shots of epic/scarlet?

Shot on Red Logo...

I've looked around on the forums for an "official" shot on RED logo to no avail. I'm putting together a scroll but don't have any hi-res solutions available. Can someone point the way?

thx
