PJ Quotes

From our local trade publication Onfilm (http://www.onfilm.co.nz)
May Issue, exclusive Peter Jackson Interview.

Peter Jackson: "I'm seriously considering RED for The Lovely Bones"

The Good Stuff:
PJ has 5 cameras on order
Had seen early tests in LA
Image quality was excellent
If you shoot at 4K, but want a 'film look' you finish at 2K and add some grain
Working with the RED camera allowed for upward of 100 setups
over the 2 day shoot. A speed that would be imposible with film.

"That was the biggest thing I came away with-the desire to get back to that type of fun low budget filmmaking"

Sorry, the article can not be distributed other than in it's original printed form.

[Dan Blanchett]

Oh I know, I wasn't suggesting otherwise. But I appreciate the bullet points.

[Andrew Benz]

...But I appreciate the bullet points.

Same here, thank you very much.

Cheers

[PaulClements]

Does sound good, thanks alot

[Häakon]

Awesome... I just ordered a copy. :-)

Although Peter Jackson is not the "be all, end all," I think his vote of approval for the camera will really help it to achieve acceptance early on in an industry which is still cautious and somewhat skeptical.

[Scott Webster]

Unfortunately the bullet points don't convey the sense of 'pure fun' that PJ had on the shoot.

There is also a 'location still' credited to one Jim Jannard.

[Poi Boy]

I've been waiting to hear something from PJ; excellent news, thanks for sharing.
Aloha

Great to know Pj wants to get back to his roots...indie at heart! Rock on Pj.

[Peter McCully]

If Jackson chooses Red it will be huge for Red and for the whole business. Huge.

[Don Woods]

Thats good to hear its good to hear he is really considering using the camera

[Keith Nealy]

Imagine the possibilities with 5 Red Ones.

The creative and financial implications are enormous.

[Jannard]

How can I order a copy? It sounds like something we should have... :-)

Jim! You can rent mine! I'll even throw in a knitted norwegian sweater that journalists seem to hand out to all celebrities when they visit... I just have to knit one first.. and before that: learn to knit... I should get startet!

[Steve Freebairn]

Now everyone at the same time, (singing out of synch and off tune) "if it is good enough for Peter, it's good enough for me!" :whistling:

[Gunleik Groven]

And all of a sudden a disproportional share of the the copies of a new-zealand magazine ended up in Norway -;)

Good God, 100 setups? Most shoots would be considered breakneck at half that pace.

Man! Gotta love that! Seriously can't wait to get a hold of my RED.

Peter Jackson: "I'm seriously considering RED for The Lovely Bones"

"The Lovely Bones" has a huge buzz behind this film!

The script is being highly guarded, my daughter is going in for casting on this next Monday and the audition sides clearly state that they are not from the script and further state that: "No full script will be available at any time during casting."

This is fairly unusual and what is further interesting is that the start date is indicated as the end of October, to Early November with a principal photography period of 3 - 4 months in both Pennsylvania and New Zealand".

Hope this indicates that shipping isn't too far off.

[Häakon]

Hope this indicates that shipping isn't too far off.
Regardless of the shipping schedule, I'm pretty sure RED would make sure PJ has a camera to use in October if he needs one... :)
