Peter Jackson Short / RED RIVE?

[martinnoweck]

I hope this hasn't been asked to many times (and I am just to dumb to find the relating thread...): does anybody know if the Peter Jackson Short was shot with the RED DRIVE?

yes it was :)

more than you may want to know..but this is how they backed up the red drives for Peter Jackson's shoot.

2 copies from the original mag were made on set.
2 copies were made from the first copy at night in the hotel.
(one for Jarred and one to go to post).

The editor (rockstar Jabez) made a copy on the second day
and got a drive of the third day at the airport.

On the way back to LA we made two more copies (one for Jim
and one for myself) so we could start working on the plane
without touching the original master backups.

Oops. That's seven copies, not five. A bit excessive but it
was trivial to manage and do. Because the data rate is
quite sane, it enabled us to start working with the original
4k footage right away and without huge data management
headaches if we'd shot uncompressed 4k. 500GB vs 6TB

Thanks for the quick replies ... and wow, that is good news ... I mean: helicopter, explosions, dirt and dust, etc. to a hard drive!!!

my only hope is, we don't have to change from a sennheiser 416 to a 816 ...

Just making some calculations: 16 minutes of short film with 500 GB of footage. That would be like 3 teras of storage for a feature. Take 3 more for a second backup and 6 more for posproduction (2 of them for a final TIFF sequence digital master).
That's 12 teras for a feature in total. How cheap is the SATA tera right now?
