Any tips ? Stories about trying it ? When would you do it ?

You chaps are on a roll :) First off, I enjoyed it. There's a progression from your last piece. It’s a pleasure to watch something where I know the filmmaker is giving attention to framing and camera movement. Here are some quick impressions as I watched it the third time. Keep in mind that I...

Anybody shot a narrative short or feature with this cam (or a similar model) ?

Just browsin' Don't know it you're still interested... Wonderin' why you decided to do a scene out of a movie? Was this purely a Dp experiment ? As a huge fan of noir, I had a couple of notes. Fan notes. Leave 'em take 'em as you will :-) Dp stylin' - what was your goal for this piece ? Were...

I was short listing the DP's who've had experience with high end digital cinema, and was wondering if anyone here had suggestions as to who to add to the list. I'df primarily concentrate on guys who could hit the ground running with RED (or at least take the least amount of time). I'd like to...

Following some of the sentiments on the boards, I have a question for RED team. Will the miniRAIDS be sturdy (shock resistant) enough for work on : 1. Steadicam. 2. Handheld. 3. On RED rails (shoulder shooting). Is it possible to transfer Flash footy to the miniRAID in between takes ...

I was having a debate with a DP the other day. He says that film makeup will be more than effective for RED 4K/2K acquisition - indicating that there's no need for specially formulated makeup/airbrushing for highend HD. Having only really dealt with film issues, I was wondering what anyones...

Ok. I spent some time reading this stuff, and if I missed it please forgive me :beer: I'll look foolish for the sake of clarifications, though. Everyone At RED team Amsterdam is probably rightly very drunk on pale Ale by now , but here I go: 1. Monitoring 4K When recording 4K REDCODE RAW or...

I was just wondering is there a market for Christian short films? After I finish up this next project i'm doing, I thought about exploring (screenwriting and directing) a period piece short film, in a genre that I have always wanted to tackle (think Kurosawa). But I know nothing of the...

Caught this the other day. It's one of the most gorgeous B&W films I've seen. Some might find it very slow, but I felt it captured the era and ephemeral quality love pretty well. Still, I am a little perplexed why its not held in as high esteem of some of Anonioni's other works...

I was just wondering, since this is a fairly large purchase, what the policy is on cameras from those who decline to purchase ? Does that mean the people further in the cue get bumped up a spot ? So #80 becomes #79 - like that ? I know you can't trade/sell your spot. However, it could make a...

I was watching this program opn the Apache helicopter and they showed a removable type digital magazine that was reliable , efficient and high data storage (for multiple sensor inputs from the helicopter). It occured to me that they may be something which RED may be interested in. So is this...

I saw some D20 footage recently, and I was wondering how comparable (with the limmited info. we have now) the Specs of the RED camera match up to the Arri specs. It would be interesting to get an Arri D20 spec sheet and mosey on over to the RED booth. (if Arri is going to be at NAB). I loved...

I've been getting conflicting info. on monitoring. Scenario - 1. You shoot 1080p with the HVX (DVC PRO 100) 2. You transfer files from either P2 or Firestore/Cineporter/Firewire/USB Hd into Avid Express Pro HD. 3. You have to render the files to DNxHD to edit - ok, that's done. Now, since...

I was wondering which compositing software (up to $2000) do you think is the most effective (to be used in conjunction with the HVX) ? Concentrating primarily on combining photographic elements. For example, layering two or three different locations and a few simple cg elements. Also, the...
