I have a dedicated Lacie onto which I copy my 8GB card in the field.

Currently I have 6 partitions. The Final Cut Pro system to which I

have access requires that we bring in our own drive(s). Now I know that

if I connect this Lacie, I can open Final Cut Pro and edit right away.

 

However, when I go to store the Final Cut Pro project, can I save it

to this same Lacie (250GB) or should that drive stay exclusively

a repository for the P2 cards?

 

In that case, should I bring in another Lacie and would I daisy-chain

that to the first? The computer is a G4.

 

Thanks.

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-

What a honor! Several months with no posts. Suddenly at least three are related to me. Don't worry, I also wish the best to who thinks that can use the existing accessories without the Red screws and the Red bolts.

 

I regret your quote on the worst work of Bernardo. Four, five years later, I could see him working on a better way on budget (really low budget after that failed experience ala hollywood quoted by you).

have a nice day.

Good for you. Industry stuff. You do not need for reduced prices. The higher the better. :P It is the end-user who pays. :D The audiences will not notice. The more they don't notice, the more I have no work. :( Mine is art work. :)

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.

About who are you talking about? Hollywood people? Bollywood? Because since a long time ago I don't watch a single movie from there. Including those you mentioned before. From bollywood, not even one. But like the microorganisms they exist and they are a lot, be sure of that. And they know of their own. Particularly with the digital age related to art-film makers, they will not need for anybody else to be alive.

I'm talking about the guy you use at the bottom of your signature. On Little Buddah, I never saw him whine once.

Here I'm getting off subject again... saw your site... what's the weekly rate 3 days on a grip truck... also is it your driver, etc...

 

The reason I might have a project in Kentucky so looking for different things...

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-

Listen to me newcomer: where do you come from?

 

Perhaps I had already known a larger number of international film festivals with my shorts than your work at the Dvxfests till now.

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

btw- what the hell is a DVXfest? is that like a sausage fest?

Some of us (film students, young movie makers)...

Well, that explains it, doesn't it.
