  • 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

I am going to do a lot of stockshots for testing, and rebuilding my stock archive in 4K, also have a shortfilm planned. But my RED will make it´s money back by doing stuff for my clients: presentations, commercials and maybe a musicvideo or two.

It will be fun, that´s for sure.

I dream of a july delivery... but it could be september.
 
Probably a commercial for my reel. I've been bouncing around a few spec ideas that would be a fun test drive.

I am also interested in a Rainier summit climb. First 4k from the summit. Eh eh. Any stock people out there interested in a purchase?

Comrades Unite! We must shoot a commercial for the REDs!

haha seriously though I don't know what we would do to advertise the red except:

White text on black:

- "In a world where 4k was expensive."
- "RED"
-- pause --
- "Actually that's it."
- "Oh yeah here's some footage"
-- Roll Red Footage
- "See pretty."

Your First Red Shoot

I thought this would be a fun topic to start, and get an idea of the multitude of possibilities ... I want someone out there to say "geothermal observation" :) that would be awesome.

I'll start off by saying I want to shoot my first feature film-- 3-cam shoot, shooting on Red drives.

Hope this thread doesn't die off right away!
 
haha, nice Red guy.

Well I wish I could say I'd be shooting some hugely ambitious project, but that's not true. If I had to guess I'd say we'll be using it on Persian music videos most likely, so the first thing would either be a music video or perhaps we'd shoot a short to test the camera first and just have some fun, basically, no pressure, just doing work for ourselves to play around with the new tools. I can say for sure I'll be shooting a lot of stuff with it, even if it's just random stuff for fun, because having that kind of tool at my disposal whenever I want, I can't really leave it sitting around and feel good about myself. ;)

I do have a feature planned for January 2009, though. That is not definite, because I need to develop my script, but I have the location, which is a big part of this particular project, and I think I have a few contacts for a DP, although it's always good to know more DPs. Especially considering that with this low-budget of a project ($50,000 or less, not including location and tools, which I consider "free" since they are mine), basically to be honest the only person who is going to be paid well is the DP. I just don't believe you can make a good looking movie without a professional, very good DP, but I do believe I can pull it off with good unknown actors and the rest of the crew can have minimum experience, so long as I have the time to prep them for several weeks before. It's an investment of time on my part, but I'd rather do that than pay professionals a lot of money, I just don't have the cash to use on this first project. The RED should be a great tool, though, I believe strongly in the story and am really excited about it, but I don't want the production quality to ruin something that in my head is really strong. I think it has solid commercial projects, probably the straight-to-DVD market, but that is fine by me.
 
I live in the shadows of the Malvern Hills where the composer Elgar found inspiration for much of his music. It is wonderful rolling countryside so I will be shooting a lot of lush green fields, hills and woodlands. I want to see what the camera will make of it all.

I am writing a script for a feature which I have planned for several years but it probably won't be ready for development until the end of 2008 which gives me a chance to get used to the camera and setup a stable post production workflow with FCP.

Exciting days!
 
I want to be carefull and not overhype the camera to clients. When the client says how can you charge me 35mm rates based on an equipment system with a much lower price? Ahhh....pause...Ahhh. When Red comes up to speed and more and more Red cameras are saturating the market it will come down to the basics. How good of shooter are you, how good of DP do you have, Do you have a good gaffer? The one thing I've learned from high def, it magnifies both the beauty and the mistakes.
 
RED 4k CUBA

My wife is From Havana Cuba and just recently moved here. We have been developing a feature that I would like to shoot at least 60% (if not 100%) on location in Cuba. Being that I am a North American I will probably need to link up with the Red community across the pond to stay under the radar.

We have spent the last few years down in Havana and around the country and if you dont know already, its an extraordinary place. The only way I could get away shooting my last short film down there was Guerilla style with a DVX100, this allowed me to avoid the red tape and politics of a big crew etc.

Now my dream of returning to Cuba and shoot a feature in the same manner is at arms length. If all goes well, there will be another revolution to hit the shores of Cuba.

Thank you RED!

Best
 
Sounds Like fun Haskell. 60% of my first RED feature "Yard" will be shot 90 miles away ... to the south in Jamaica.
The other 40% will be shot in Toronto.
 
Since i now get it in Jan: 2 features, one in Florida, one in Honduras.

My trip to LA went GREAT, so maybe I'll be RENTING before mine arrives. :)

if i do find out someone is shooting porn with a red.. im gunna find them.. rubberband snap their nuts and take their camera and let it shoot something that it was designed to shoot.

to me, shooting porn with red is like some old dude with no clue in the world.. on vacation with his family and using a hvx for the family video.. just some rich bitch who threw all his cash out on the table for the "best" camera and ends up shooting the lowest quality anyways.

I just know there will arise a porn site with a name like PORN4K or HighResRedPorn.com or something crazy like that. ;)
