[Jason Ing]

Wildfire Red is spreading even quicker then the Man himself can keep up! :)

Don't worry Jim, we'll keep you posted.

[JustinGD]

I don't care who you are, if anybody leaves my Red balanced on a sand bag, I'm taking my camera and going home.

[Andrew Benz]

oops...

No worries, this picture is new to me and it looks great.

Break a leg at NAB... especially if someone is heckling you! :)

Cheers,

Andrew

[Cüneyt Kaya]

[Mike Prevette]

Tango Blue handles

[Jonas Nyström]

But... eh... does he, Darius Khondji, not like the RED LCD..?

[BASSAM MSSALATIE]

I noticed that it was just slung to the side like a dongle off the camera.

[Jason Ing]

Hello Jim,

I did not know you are also a big fan of Darius Khondji.

When Darius & I shot the Old Navy Spot in Buenos Aires.
We where on Build 13. which was a big pain in the ass, due to the fact we where using multi monitors no EVF's where available.

He became a fan on build 13. Can you imagine what he will do on Build 15 with an EVF.

Well their are two types of personalties on set. So I have to use the car analogy, some people just wax and polish their cars in a air conditioned garage, then you have people like Jim who use, race, modify & test their cars and are not afraid of some scratches or dents along the way.

I prefer to be more like the Darius's & Jim's of the world that bend the rules. Then play it safe.

It's not a trophy, it's a tool, go out their and use it. Don't worry, Jim will sell you a replacement monitor.

On our current shoot we have what I call the Chuck Yeager of camera's
Peter Hyams Director / DP of such great films, such as:

2010
Musketeer
End of Days
The Relic
Presidio
Running Scared
The Star Chamber

He has the RED camera's mounted on stunt race cars, crash cam's which are mounted with RED's crashing into cars 40mph. Top of cranes 40 foot high, back of gators.

I have worked with allot of camera's these are by far the some toughiest camera's.
From -18 in Moscow to +50 cel in Buenos Aires.

[Michael Schrengohst]

I loved the Old Navy spots. I know the hell of
working with beautiful HM women.
I love the crash car cam stuff, looks
way more fun.

like the pic....

Darius giving the "thumbs up" on Red. :)

[dVonAllmen]

Seven... Seven... I'm trying to remember...

Oh, yeah, that's the movie that I have the poster of framed in my office that I'm looking at right now because it's one of the best films ever made.

Holy crap, this is cool.

[Christopher Grant Harvey]

Keep the good news coming....

[Kyle Mallory]

Hey, Jim. I think I can hook you up with another, exclusive "[High Profile] DP shoots on RED" story. I've just been too lazy [busy] to tell anyone. PM me (but it will cost you a bottom plate in time for NAB).

[Tony Lorentzen]

It's not a trophy, it's a tool

Well said!

[Steve Sherrick]

I don't care who you are, if anybody leaves my Red balanced on a sand bag, I'm taking my camera and going home.

If you mean unattended, then sure, that's bad practice. If you mean while operating, well that's very common practice. Sometimes for speed of setup, sometimes it's just the right set up for a particular angle. Heck, I've been balancing my 40lb rig on my knee, my foot, whatever it takes to get the shot at that moment.

SE7EN... the most beautiful ugly films I've ever seen.

Does anyone know what sort of monitor arm that is? Looks pretty awesome.

Jim,
I have some more great news. Old Navy has decided to do continue their ad campaign using the RED camera.

We just wrapped our feature film using 6 x RED camera's starring Michael Douglas, another great film from Peter Hyams.

We are shooting in Vancouver our 2nd Old Navy ad 04-17-08 thru 04-19-08 with David Lanzenberg another amazing DP.
And again with Darius Khondji in Buenos Aires, in June 08. I will send more pictures.

We are finalizing a shoot using RED's for Target ad campaign, May 2008.

We are also starting our third feature film using the RED's called: "Easier With Practice". see link http://www.easierwithpractice.com/.

We where on Build 13.

So, are you saying you were Co-DP? Operator? Or were you the DIT on these shoots?

Just curious, nice work whatever you did!

Hello Dominic,
I am a DIT, have been for SONY, Panasonic and now the RED camera's.

Thanks

[Carl Larsen]

that's some arm on it. is that red's?

I's an ultralight arm. They absolutely kick the pants off of the Noga arms - and you can customize them to any configuration you like for relatively cheap.

I really like mine - we have 2 at the shop.

[JJDeRiomol]

To be in all the places he is...he has to be a machine!

I suspected some kind of alien intelligence involved, from DAY ONE.

Possibly - of Martian origin.

:sorcerer:

Our time needs a new Herbert Wells and his "War of The High-End Cameras".

The brutal oppressors from PanaSonyCVision are defeated by their own fundamental flaw:

Lack of Passion !

Ok, whiskey is a good thing but enough is enough.

Me go sleep now.

Sleep = progress.

[Tonaci Tran]

Anyone know who makes those handgrips?

[zak forrest]

i think they are tango blue handles

[Clint Johnson]

But iam so sad for Red Lcd . look how they treat it :sick:

With the camera up on the operator's shoulder, the AC may find it easier to see the LCD mounted this way while crouched down to the right and slightly behind the Op- staying out of everyones way as much as they can.

I really like the Old Navy spot that is currently on TV called "April Road Trip." I especially like the "behind the scenes" video that talks about the Red. Nice job!

[Ryan Patch]

someday, I hope to be like this man...

a. shoot on a red
b. have people pay me to go to Argentina to make a movie
c. be removed enough from heavy set labor that I can wear all white all day

[Juan M. M. Fiebelkorn]

Amazing how many spots are shot in Buenos Aires (B.A.) making it look like N.Y.
I see like 5 to 7 each weekend.

Like this Xbox 360 ad. Retiro Train Station (Buenos Aires).Most actors (if not all) are local talents. I know their faces ;)

Hello Juan,
You are right we are shooting mostly overseas because of the exotic locations and extremely production friendly support. Currently we are on our second Old Navy spot. This time it's not with Darius, he is currently on his feature film. We are shooting with a really talented DP his name is: David Lanzenberg.
