I got a (RED) Camera PA Job - Questions

[ramsaur]

I might be getting a Camera PA job and I'm signed up, just an interview on monday with the DP about it so he's confident with me. They are shooting on RED. So if anyone has experience with RED cameras see what you can help me explain what I would be doing from the email I received. I think I understand, but want to double check.

Email:
We need someone to get the hard camera drives that we're shooting on (RED is digital) and dump them onto the other two drives (one for editing, one for back up).

I'm not experienced with Red, but it sounds like any other digital drive media job. You take the drive with the footage, and empty it into a different drive for permanent storage, and log it... like if you were working with P2 cards.

Yea, I actually miss read the email a tad over and figured it out. It's quite very simple. Reviewed it with someone who has used a RED and now I'm set.
