I begin production July 1 on a feature film that is shooting in the Dominican Republic, however the delivery date for my red camera got pushed back from mid June to mid September. I'd hate to rent a camera because then I'm out the rental cost, since I'm buying a red anyway after my production is over.
If there are any red owners out there in the New York area that might like to partner up with my production, I can pay for your food and lodging and give points and an associate producer credit.

I asked Stuart in a private message but got no reply.

Is this just a dumb question ?

Could anyone explain to me why the Red has both Varispeed and Timelapse modes when it would make more sense just to have one mode that does it all.

Why can't varispeed cover everything from very slow frame rates to very high frame rates ?

What is the advantage of having to change mode when going from 1fps to 1 fp2s ?

I am thinking the Scarlet in particular would be nice to have a 64GB card...if I am doing the calculation right that's about 1 hour of footage with audio...or maybe just over an hour of footage...anyone?

8GB is so small. Panny announced they will have a 64GB this fall...so I am thinking RED could easily have a 32GB by NAB 2009...but really 64Gb is what I am looking for. ]]> RED ONE - General, News, etc. sbcooler http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=13374 Adam Wilt on Focusing Red http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=13365&goto=newpost Sun, 11 May 2008 02:15:21 GMT This article by Adam Wilt on the PVC website is worth a read by anyone with a Red. It's not glowing, but it is very fair and its criticism is constructive.

http://provideocoalition.com/index.p...d_revelations/

In particular I valued hearing Wilt's take on focusing with Red:

"As I mentioned above and in my test report, neither the RED LCD nor the 720p monitoring output showed fine enough detail to focus critically, even with image magnification engaged. Shooting with RED monitoring is like shooting with most under-$10,000 HD camcorders, using coarse LCDs and EVFs that only hint at what you’re actually shooting. Unfortunately, the 35mm-sized Mysterium sensor offers much shallower depth of field than a 1/3” or 1/2” handycam, so critical focus is much more, um, critical."

AND

"Finally, we can always hope that a future build of RED ONE firmware will include a higher degree of magnification in its image-enlargements mode, for when critical focusing is required."

I've felt these things for some time; it's nice to hear them from someone else, particularly someone of Wilt's experience. ]]> RED ONE - General, News, etc. P.

If I take two ND 1.2 filters stacked and look at some black fabrics under a tunsten light, they appear a very strong maroon (brighter than the dark red on this web page).

So is the IR problem really an IR problem or is it just that NDs have such a strong shift that they block blue and green really well but red not so well?
Or is it that deep red / near IR is the weakest?

The same shot with the RED One looked pretty neutral and normal compared to what my eyes were seeing through the ND 1.2s.

Can someone else try this with their NDs? ]]> RED ONE - General, News, etc. reality http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=13358 Build Your Own Temporary Bottom Plate with Rod Support... http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=13356&goto=newpost Sat, 10 May 2008 18:31:04 GMT I'm loving the new camera but do not have any idea of when my bottom plate from the base production pack or my Arri 19mm bottom plate will show up. My only glass is the massive Cooke 18-100 13lb lens that requires support, so I had to come up with something to be able to shoot for now.

So I thought I would share what I whipped up as a temporary fix with $20.11 & 2.5 hours of my time. Also once my plates do arrive I'll keep this one as a backup if the need ever arises.

This isn't for everyone... So if your thinking of doing it please do it at your own risk to yourself & your gear. You can also have any fabrication shop whip this together in no time.

I couldn't find any metric size rod in either stainless or aluminum on hand in my area... The closest fit that I found was one particular 3/4" stock. I found that different materials in 3/4 vary slightly. The best thing to do is take the universal mount (if you have one or similar) with you as your guide for rod fit.

The only fit that I found locally was 3/4" x .050 (wall thickness) aluminum tubing. I was going to put solid 5/8" rod inside of the tubing to make it stronger (being concerned about the thin wall thickness) but later found that the tubing alone was plenty sturdy for my needs. The strength is increased when putting on the universal mount & follow focus.

For the plate I went with 4" wide x 1/2" thick by 12" long. If you have two Universal mounts they work perfectly to hold the tubing perfectly perpendicular as a jig for welding.

The 4" plate I ground the edges as you see in the photos to get the deck height closer to the height of the universal mount. I figured out how far I needed the rods to extend for my particular configuration and welded the rods to the plate. The longer the rods are welded back along the plate the stronger obviously it will be. Make sure that you level the plate that you are about to weld. I made the level on the plate match that of the universal mounts, because I know the universal mounts are true. It's hard to have everything perfectly level once you put the heavy ground clamp on the jig. As you weld, the heat will draw the materials together and tweak things. So lock the plate into the correct position with four small tack welds to begin with. Once you check that nothing has moved then seam up the edges. If your tolerances are off then it's easy to break the tacks and redo it. Don't do to much at once because (if you are working with aluminum) it's easy to warp things.

My tripod head was too wide to fit within the rods so I welded on another 1/2" plate underneath to bring the bottom far enough out where there weren't any clearance issues with the rods.

I knew (thanks to someone else's post with the exact same configuration) exactly where my center of balance was for my particular lens & camera.
So based on this I drilled & threaded holes to place my tripod quick release plate right where that center balance is. Finally I used a piece of office paper to make a simple template of the bottom of my camera and where the mounting threads are. Finally I drilled holes to allow allen bolts to pass through and bolt the camera onto the plate. Again when I did this I kept in mind where the center balance for my camera setup was. In my case it's right around the front of the Camera's PL mount.

And here you have it a temporary fix until my real bottom plates show up. As you can see I'm also waiting on smaller ET rods to show up for the top of the camera. I could cut these rods down from the production pack for the top but I'll keep these as spares once my shorter ETs show up.

I have a Arri MB-14 matte box (Frick'n Huge!) but the tolerances are so tight that it doesn't fit on these homemade rods... Even after some sanding. Don't push your luck... Aluminum can easily tweak and you'll find yourself with something jammed on the rod. I have a basic adjustable French flag that will have to do for now for lens flares... No filtration for now.

Last note... I was concerned about this heavy configuration maxing out my Sachtler 18P head but to my delight it's well balanced seems effortlessly smooth and I have plenty of drag left to apply if I need it.

See attached photos.

I hope this helps out others who are in the same boat and need their rod support now. She may not be pretty but she does work...

Cheers!
