  1. RED 300 is original issue body, used twice. Perfect condition. $3000 RED 50-150 zoom is also in great condition. $7000
  2. 1200 HMI Par single light source Diffusion provided solely by wooden vertical slats that made the wall off camera left.
  3. If you have to shoot faster than 60 fps, 2K. Since you're projecting it use REDCODE 36, not 28. Shoot 23.98 as opposed to 24. Stay in REDLOG once you're in REDCINE or RED ALERT!. Have a fun shoot.

  5. This was posted today by Jim concerning "Wanted": http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=15572 "There seems to be some confusion about RED on "Wanted" even though I posted the following a couple of weeks ago. During production, we were told that some RED footage (from pre-production prototypes) would be used in the movie so we added "Wanted" to "Shot on RED" on red.com. As soon as we heard that would not be the case, we pulled "Wanted" from our website. It is not necessary for us to take credit for things we aren't doing. We have plenty of good news to talk about. This is my earlier post: "RED was on the "Wanted" set last summer to "see how it would do". The RED ONE prototype (several months before our 1st shipment) was shot sparingly but in several different setups. Everyone seemed very happy with the footage. In fact, Timur bought a RED camera (and paid for it and took delivery when his number came up). So did Jon Farhat (VFX supervisor). At that time the workflow was not smooth with their Avid system and I suspect that integrating some token RED footage would have been a courtesy they did not have time for. This is entirely speculation on my part. Maybe they couldn't find an appropriate "add film grain" filter? :-) I am anxious to see the movie. It looked like it would be very interesting. They had a great DP (Mitch Amundsen), great talent and Timur has a very unusual vision that I think will translate wonderfully to the final cut. We had a terrific time learning on this set and the 1st AC (Todd Schlopy) gave us tremendous guidance on setting our camera up and features we needed to add. We looked at this movie as an opportunity to learn and prove that the footage could stand up next to film. I think everyone on the set will agree we succeeded. Several members of the "Wanted" crew, in addition to Timur and Farhat, ordered cameras." I would also add that at one point during the production, Jon Farhat did a filmout comparison between RED footage and the film footage. According to Jon, no one could tell which was which... until Chunky Richmond noticed the aspect ratio difference."

  7. Look up Anders Holck http://www.reduser.net/forum/member.php?u=117 He's a steadicam op and RED owner/operator.
  8. Jayson - thanks so much for sharing! Quick note - you said you would leave the EVF at the rental company next time and get 2 LCDs. Problem is you can't run two LCDs at the same time on the camera. Tried that while I waited for my EVF. I can't see why you don't like it, but everyone has their own prefs.
  9. Joe - If I could offer any assistance with your workflow, please allow me. I won't attack you.
  10. I just burned a DVD of a music video we shot on RED. I used RedCine to create UC10bitters, edited and then exported from FCS using Compressor, burned the disc in DVDSP. Zero problems. This time. First time I tried it (on another video) I have artifacts all over the place, especially in the blacks.
  11. Just want to point out that RED Raid drives haven't shipped yet. Red drives have, I have four myself, but the solid state raids have not yet shipped.

    No, you're just really defensive. I wasn't attacking you - ever. Your posted reply to me was a defensive response. And as you stated here, you weren't a serious bidder. Null point on your end. And it's not about being cool, just proud that I post my serial number.

    Uh, no. How you inferred that is beyond me. I'm simply saying it's more intuitive, easier to use. It's solid. Like a mac. I really loved working with ARRI's and a few Panavisions, but the RED just works better for myself. As far as the ebay listing, if you reread the posts here and on reduser.net concerning it, you will find that the seller refuses to divulge the serial number. He has also posted this auction once before under a different name. There has been one or two REDs stolen already.

    Just my opinion here (and yes, I am a RED owner, a "REDhead" and literally a red head) - I have worked in the industry, in Hollywood, on everything from music videos to commercials, to feature films and TV. I have worked with big name cinematographers to wanna-bes. I have done this for the last nine years and on a wide variety of camera systems. Love 35mm. But after using the RED, I will never use anything else again. It is like switching from a PC to mac. Again, just my opinion.
