Depends on the project size.... if it's smaller (music video / commercial / short form) then sure- so long as you have scratch space free for the .mov files as they're imported from P2.... How many cards shot total? Recording / Edit format? Project Duration? cheers- bw

have a nice day. BW

Yeah, like I don't need reduced prices. Like my customers and clients come to me with such huge bags of money. Have you seen the size of rental discounts lately? You don't have to buy the accessories- use your existing accessories. Heck, if you're that mad you don't even have to buy the camera, depending on your serial, my cameras will come that much faster. I'm talking about the guy you use at the bottom of your signature. On Little Buddah, I never saw him whine once.

Throw me an email (bret@griptruck.com) - I'm not sure what size, package list, etc.... I'm a pretty flexible guy so let me know what you'll need... if you need a guy, we can send him, but if you're insured, you can let whoever drive- bw

You're baiting me, but I'll bite. I'm a commercial DP, working for over 18 years in the industry in Seattle, Los Angeles and now Nashville. I am a partner in a large commercial studio facility with around 2.5 million in lighting, grip and camera. In Los Angeles, I ran the country's largest Grip & Lighting rental house for 10 years or so, loading features like Titanic, Blow, Master & Commander: Far Side of the World, The Village and a few other films you may have heard of. That's where I come from. I don't usually post, I've lurked for a while, and forgive my early morning call out, but I'd just like to point out that this incessant whining is really completely unrealistic. Those of us who shoot professionally are all waiting to see what really comes out. Yes, as a company, we're taking the risk free bet that the guys at Red have done something incredible, but we still haven't seen it work- haven't touched it... however, you don't really hear too many professionals complaining and whining, particularly about prices that sure seem better than the money we've spent with Sony for the last 20 years. Pro's usually don't whine too much. That's all I was saying. Cheers, bw www.griptruck.com btw- what the hell is a DVXfest? is that like a sausage fest?

Well, that explains it, doesn't it.
