  • 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 :)

Your First Red Shoot

As I live also in Venice, Italy I will try to play with the camera shooting some nice pictures from angles which are not so used yet and sell them to some library to buy me a second RED:)
 
Shooting your kids in 4K is a good idea. I'm not a camera operator by trade, but the time I've spent with an FX1 shooting my kids means I'm much, much better at being a camera operator when I have to be. I am so much better at following a subject, predicting the frame, getting the focus right at speed, making the most of available (low)light. It's the only practice I get. So, although I won't be the primary operator of my RED One (because I'll hand it to my DP), I'm going to spend a lot of time shooting my kids in 4K. I'll get to know the camera inside out, and test the workflow over and over again before we go out on a pro shoot. I probably won't finish in 4K...
 
Hey I agree... I've got my Sony HC3 for home movies, kids, etc.. But I still plan on using RED with a bunch of this stuff initially just to get it all figured out.

My first RED shoot will probably be the backyard, kids, dogs. Then I'll take it to the mountains and go for scenery and wildlife. After that, who knows? I've got a short film I'd like to do pretty soon after getting the camera too.

Just for fun -

So, you get your RED ONE. Power that baby up - play with the menu ... do a test or two. Then what ...?

Time to shoot something.

What will your first RED ONE shoot be?

Hi Offhollywood,

because you asked: I have being working for some time now on my autobiography story devided in to 5 movies, so the first project for me will be to shoot part one of this series, produce by KETCHFRAME, I intend to cowrite, coproduce, codirect and costar in it.

I already have absurd pretences as far as who I like to co-write/co-produce/co-direct and costar with, my list is short,

Peter Jackson, my choice for co-writer/co-producer/co-director.

Meal Gibson, my choice for co-writer/co-producer/co-director/co-star.

Jim Jannard, my choice for co-writer/executiveproducer.

Madelein Stowe, my choice to costar to play my mother before she died.

David Caruso, my choice of co-star to play my mother's brother.

Viggo Mortensen, my choice of co-star to play special opps. director.

Orlando Bloom, my choice of co-star to play the under cover field agent.

and the list those go on and on.

Yes I already know that I only will have 3 Red cameras some gear and very little money with less expirience then money, but movie making for me is about storytelling and I Am very very good at that, I find all the great people in the industry to work in the project and I will not have to warry about nothing, just tell people my vision and waht the and resolt I need to look like, not easy but not impossible!!!

Dreaming is good, no, dreaming is very good, but if you do not try to make it come true it remains just a dream.

Ciao,

KETCH ROSSI

I have thought of doing that too and I just may as I have a few friends in local bands. I've never shot a music video before though. I guess this would be a good excuse to do one. :)

Aren't music videos REALLY hard to edit with no experience? That's what I hear anyway.

P.S nice avatar Jeff. Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs, REDs and Spades.

Judging by the number of music videos on YouTube, it can't be that tough. <edit: additional smartass comment deleted>

Heh. I know. I don't like this avatar anyway... I just threw something up there because I was tired of looking at the greenscreen girls.
 
My first red shoot...

My first red shoot...

Assuming delivery date of #1438 is September/October - the first underwater shoot with my RED camera will be humpback whales in Tonga. 4K redcode raw with a custom housing by Mike Hastings of Aquavideo - wide lens TBD.
 
We'll have to rent bc I want to start asap.

a few months ago, we were planning on buying the cinealta 950 and that would've killed us! glad we got delayed--we discovered Red! thanks Jim, for Red!

If your married - the first RED frames should be your wife yelling at you "WTF is that?"

I don't know if I'll get the RED set up and ready to shoot in time for those words. But I'll have my HVX or Sony HDV ready for that moment. Although, she already knows about it and has seen the pictures. She just rolls her eyes and leaves the room whenever I start geeking out about it.
 
I know I'm going to shoot my kids, grandkids, drag races, and anything that moves! I just might even shoot a RED commercial! Of course I will need Jarred's help for that...

Jim
