Funny. Panavision Toronto doesn't have any RED's. Fighting over formats makes me laugh a little. It's like DP's arguing over whether to put glass in front of the lens or not. It's about what works and gets you the shot -leave the ego on the truck. : ) What also makes me laugh is the lack of knowledge as to what is required on the crew end of a RED shoot. Cheap bodies make PM's salivate but guess what? Want those 1's and 0's to be uncorrupted and not end up on Youtube at the end of the day? Get a DMT. I was on a RED music video and with the package comes this big coffin. We pop off the lids and behold. A complete off-load station. Mac, Raid, cables and tons of other poop all in pieces. Thanks guys -you just thought A- we'd have time to leave set and sit there off loading drives and cards (2x a mag of course) and B- Being someone else's custom build, I'd know how to re-build it? I guess I'm the DMT today. I built it no prob and we got away with the off-loads but it was the "so what..." attitude from prod. that makes you red (no pun intended). Even better is the apparent lack of understanding that pulling on the RED at 4K is like pulling on anamorphic. Only a handful guys in each city can do it.
