Do you have any pics that are closer and we can make things out? Still a pretty sweet pic though....

[David Battistella]

Look OUT!

There could be over 600 posts into this thread!

Nice :)

[Damien Molineaux]

What ?

Is that a Red I see ?

Cheers,

[Jason Francois]

That's not a bad camera-car. :)

Holy crap... today must've been fun. Color me jealous. :)

[Tony Lorentzen]

Jarred - did you remember to ask Jim for permission before you took his babies out for a stroll? :tongue:

[grandpa it burns]

Jarred, You need to take me for a ride when I'm down there in a few weeks.

It really hit me how good this camera is when I realized I can't tell which images are frame grabs and which ones are stills. :)

[david farland]

Jarred, Nice......

What speed were you doing before the vibration became unacceptable?

I know it also depends on the condition (bumps) of the road?

[Mark Thorpe]

Glass?

[Jarred Land]

Jarred, Nice......

What speed were you doing before the vibration became unacceptable?

I know it also depends on the condition (bumps) of the road?

it got pretty bumpy at around 80. or when we drove over the little middle bumps in the road.

entire day was shot with the RED ZOOM 18-50.

[Mark Thorpe]

KMH or MPH? You nutter! Nice results mate, keep it going.

[david farland]

80...Wow...that is something good! Thank Doctor Porsche for his excellent suspension.

[Jarred Land]

80mph.. not around the corners of course.

[Brook Willard]

I gotta see this footage...

[Jarred Land]

http://www.reduser.net/forum/uploaded/1_1189812399.jpg

[Brook Willard]

Damn... nice looking shot.

[david farland]

lovely...what shutter speed etc?

I'm hoping you're also gonna say you only used 3 suctions clamps to hold the camera!

[Zakaree Sandberg]

80...Wow...that is something good! Thank Doctor Porsche for his excellent suspension.

lexus is250 was the camera car...

[Rick Darge]

that DR is f***ing amazing!

[Zakaree Sandberg]

I'm hoping you're also gonna say you only used 3 suctions clamps to hold the camera!

Jarred didnt want to use his car as a camera car so he volunteered my lexus for the job.

4 suction cups.. some tie downs and jarred's 6 foot long arm did the trick

[Ivan G]

Which mount is that? I didnt see it posted anywhere.

Amazing pics Jarred. It must have been a fun shoot.

What shutter speed were you shooting at?

[purefilm]

Wow amazing!! I am really taken back by these images. Can't wait to see an edited cut of the chase.

[Mark Thorpe]

What fps?...so we can visualize!

[Graeme Nattress]

You're having way too much fun, Jarred. Stop immediately. It's just not allowed.

Graeme

[Jarred Land]

You're having way too much fun, Jarred. Stop immediately. It's just not allowed.

heh heh heh.. gotta shoot every once in awhile to remember why we are doing all this :)

all shot at 23.98... i changed shutters between 180 degrees and 90 degrees pending on the shot.

[CVB]

Jarred, when did you trade in the Nissan?

[Jarred Land]

Jarred, when did you trade in the Nissan?

still got it.. I just needed something a little quicker to put out fires.

[David Battistella]

Jarred,

Did you have to reach up to hit record or did you have it rigged with the LCD and a trigger in the passenger seat?
Very cool images. Whew!

David

[Hrvoje Simic]

Very nice, Jarred.

It would be soo uncool not to show us the footage after this.


Btw, who won ?

[JD Holloway]

Suction cups only no safties...
Brave.
Some sweet frames though.

[Jack Turits]

Sexy Frames.

[Andreas Fernbrant]

Jarred, What do we have to do to see some footage?:)
2K if possible!

[Michael Schrengohst]

Yes, bundle that him with Jim's funny car footage!

[Peter McCully]

Jarred, can't tell from the pics but am I to assume the issue of "rolling shutter" is not an issue? This is something us effects guys are hoping. With the tracking shots at these speeds it would be evident. Lovely shots. Is there a chance we can get some 16bit tiff or dpx files at full size so we can have a play with the delicious levels etc? Cheers.

[Evin Grant]

You shot cars and you didn't even think to call me, I'm hurt! So when you going out again?:usd:

[Jared VanLeuven]

Jarred,

Much better times than getting a flat on the way to Utah in January, eh? :)
What a difference a few months makes, holy crap. Cool shots, man.

[Jarred Land]

Sorry Evin.. this was a last minute "hell lets go shoot something" day. Its cool having a team of guys that all shoot, edit and drive like maniacs.

Zak, Sean, Kevin and Isreal made me proud. Zak did such a good job of keeping the camera car close to the action that his brake pads actually caught on fire.

And who knew good old Jon could drive well enough to give Matt's 911 a run for the money.

[Zakaree Sandberg]

off to midas tomorrow.. lifetime warrenty on my pads..

[Casey Green]

Great shots Jarred! Everytime I check the site, the images get better!

[Ken K]

Wait, so if this was last minute... did you guys go guerilla and not get the necessary permits? :gun:

Bravo! Can't wait to see even some 1K footage - I LOVE chase scenes.

[Zakaree Sandberg]

[Ivan G]

Wow! That reflection off the porsche looks amazing. O MY GAWD! I had to order that mount as well :blink:

[Shawn Nelson]

Dang it! I'm getting tired of you guys posting awesome BTS pics and then NEVER posting any footage! Gosh, ya'll haven't released moving shots since...milk girls? Come'on! Post this!! :-)

[Jannard]

Jarred challenged my to a footage shootout this weekend. I'm on an island with "Prague" and thought I had an advantage... but it looks like I took the competition too lightly. This stuff is baddass times forever. Good job Jarred and crew. BTW, I've seen this footage (not just the frame grabs) and it rocks off the chart. It is a real showcase of what our camera can do.

Jim

[Brook Willard]

[Jannard]

The weekend is not over... :-)

I have to say... I LOVE this camera. I'm also shooting the 300mm RED lens and it is all-world. I have the prototype 50-150mm RED zoom as well, so I have an unfair advantage. But I must say that Jarred and the team surprised me with the car footage.

Yay, a shootoff! Give them the Blue Steel.

[Jannard]

Yeah... it sounds like Jarred had an army of five against "Prague" and I. Seems like a mismatch. Just the way I like it... :-)

Jim

[Brook Willard]

So when do we get to see what you've been up to, Jim?

[Jarred Land]

heheheh... My army is good... But I think everyone here will agree that Jim Jannard by himself is larger than an army of a hundred thousand.

[Rick Darge]

Enough gushing. Lets share the movement.

[Steve Freebairn]

Jim, quick, get in your Jet and mount the camera on it! :w00t:

[Shawn Nelson]

Jim, quick, buy a Jet and mount the camera on it! :w00t:

Psssshhhh! Not enough! Jim could talk to the Russians, throw his spare change at them and get Red mounted to a space rocket :-)

[david farland]

Now Jarred....it's not fair anymore if that's your best shot.

Why not make it interesting....3 seconds...and it must include a cut/dissolve.

[damonbots]

Uhhhhmmm... that looks a lot like Hidden Valley/Decker/Encinal Canyon. If I find out you guys were filming that close to me without my knowledge, I'm punching somebody in the balls pretty hard... starting with myself.

[Sean R.]

Man, I love my job.

glad you were inspired by my car mounts the other day ( i caught you and matt checking out my steeze), but, you took it to a whole new level!!!!

Hey Zakaree is that your lexus you were trying to sell a few months ago that you used as a camera car?

Sweet wheels. By the way did the wheels catch fire too? May not be so great for the resale value as I am sure you will be honest about how the car was driven.

[Jannard]

I do have a friend on the island... but I have to admit, he is not much help.

Shot with the 300mm lens. A couple of apples coaxed this guy in pretty close.

I have put my Canon 1Ds MkII away for good...

Jim

http://www.reduser.net/forum/uploaded/9_1189839065.jpg

[Shawn Nelson]

Wow! That is so cool!

Heh, even the deer was like "Whoa, a Red!" :-)

[Finner]

Jim great shot of the deer. But I must say with this board being 98% guys I just don't see even the cutest bambi beating out fast sports cars for affection. Unless of course you shoot Bambi the hot beer tub girl from the local pub.

By the way I think someone mentioned you were at an island? My wife and I cycle toured the San Juan islands a few years ago with our bicycles and trailers. We broke a chain right by one of the towns on Orcas Island so we stopped at wildlife cycles and as the tech was thowing on a chain I asked what the heck that crazy looking building was that we passed a ways up was. He just started to laugh and said it was a wildly designed week-end house the owner of Oakley had built to look like his sunglasses. He mentioned he had met you a few times before and that you were a down to earth great guy. Is what he told me about that being your place true? It was a wild place to say the least. Seems like you take design to a whole new level everywhere you go.

[Jannard]

I love Orcas but haven't been there for a couple of years. I didn't build anything there. He must have had a few too many beers. I live on a different island out in the middle of nowhere.

The only way to get here is by plane... shot with RED 50-150mm zoom.

Jim

Planet Earth's got nothing on you Jim. Very sharp. RED's going to have a great library of 4K footage before you know it.

[KETCH ROSSi]

Jarred very impressive, I have seen similar shots in Maranello on the Ferrari's curve test, but this shoots are so amezing, thanks for sharing with as.

The mount you used I'm sure is the Item #4399 from Filmtools.(some one asked)

Jim, I hope you are not serius about domping the 1Ds Mark II for good. I just preorder the 1Ds Mark III.

But again some time back when a year and a half a go I asked if I could substitute my 1D body with RED.. well I have my answer now!

She is a beauty JIM, I hope she did not and up on your wall.

I'm filled with anticipation till years end to get my hands on my RED's.

Ciao,

trabucco canyon.. i think thats the name.. very deadly road

[Lauri Kettunen]

Jarred, Jim,

The images you posted are stunning and fabulous. What a camera!

Is it just my imagination or a real effect that after seeing now enough samples, I feel like seeing the wavelet compression in the background of Jim's image on the dear? But, even if so, this is just hairsplitting.

[Jannard]

If you are seeing compression... it is jpeg compression to make this 1K.

[Michael Morlan]

I use the suction cup/Modern ball mount setup as well and having such a flexible rig truly rocks. Each cup holds 70lbs and, should one fail, you still have all the others. I try to include ratchet straps when possible but have often gone without and suffered no failures.

My rig has held Vipers, Varicams, ARRI SR3's in all manner of positions including, in one case, a Viper suspended three feet off the front-driver quarter panel. It might have been better and easier to use a speed-rail setup for that one. :innocent:

I look forward to mounting RED One #414.

[Jannard]

So the deer weren't doing it for you and you asked for some heavy iron. Best I can do...

Jim

http://www.reduser.net/forum/uploaded/9_1189909497.jpg

[Rudi Herbert]

Jim,

These frame grabs are all amazing, all the more so if they come from footage shot handheld. As you said elsewheere, this is only a 1/48 shutter speed, something that, in still photography, I would never do without a tripod, and then maybe even with a cable or remote shutter release, not to risk blur. I can't even begin to fathom how much sharper these images would be if they were shot at higher speed. Truly, you don't need to carry a DSLR around if you have a RED. Anything was shot handheld?


Rudi Herbert

[Jannard]

Nothing shot handheld. All on an O'Connor tripod with 1030HD head.

Sorry, only Superman can handhold 1/48th sec with a long lens and have razor sharp images...

Jim

[Michael Schrengohst]

Looks like Jim is working on his version of "Crossing the Line 2"

Jim you are something ! what other toys on the island ? will you adopt me ?

[Mark Thorpe]

Screw the SUV, we've got the SUAVE - The Sports Utility Armored Vehicle Extreme courtesy of one cray dude with balls and foresight. Jim, how about a nose mount on the Jet and some low passes around the coastline of 'Mystery Island', if you can't find a mount in time just hang Zakaree out of the door, he seems a bit of a nutter!

Thanks for sharing.
Mark.

[Jannard]

I wish I had more time up here... gotta get back and make some cameras.

Well.......I don't hear anyone saying that!

I'd be pushin the big big fella a little harder!

He might have the content nailed but you got that running down the highway blur shot which goes a good way!

Now if Jim had of added a whole lot of little red laser dots over bambi's face, especially with that deer's contemplative look...I'd give it to him, but he didn't so...well, you've done well!

Sorry for not being clear. Its the way one of the arms is rigged. You have it reversed so it will loosen. This in the gray porsche shot in the garage.

Yes, it seems folks here prefer high contrast and saturation. In my eyes Jim's and Jarred's original images look the best and most natural. A matter of taste, of course.

Simply REDalert, Photoshop, or secondary CC ?

Terrific gesture, and one well said. Though 'Rest'? I fear the boys ..(and girls) at Red forgot what that meant...a long time ago. All the best.

Not that is going to alter the earths eccentricity any time soon, but I really hate being a Junior member. "Plink!" as the sun rose above the sweeping mountain range revealing the splendour of those sacred mounds (whew!) a stray beam of light broke free casting its warm lumens upon his limey granite loaf. I'm gonna post some more.
Meanwhile (pause, breathe, continue) as a gesture of goodwill perhaps a "5" might appear in front of my post count. This would create two things: 1) Some serious cred for me, and 2) $1 billion cash for you. Chew it.

Ah, back-country STOL flying... as close as you can get to 'new vistas' these days.

For a second there I thought I was staring down the barrel of Quest Kodiak... which wouldn't surprise me given the kind of guy Jim is.... but I don't think so.

Is that a Turbo Otter?

[SalaTar]

mount it, on the plane ,Jim.
Center pontoon, Duct tape, and land it. hard :D
Its just a few bucks to you and Jarred would be scared to do it.
Plus you can say you were the one to kill a red first, have detailed footage of destruction, and qoute retail cost of what it was to fix it..

you win

[David Battistella]

Ah, back-country STOL flying... as close as you can get to 'new vistas' these days.

Yep, That sure looks like an Otter. I made a show about the Dehavilland Beaver. Those aircraft are tough as the guys who first flew them.

David

[whachusay]

Jim, are you a pilot as well?

[Jannard]

I stopped flying several years ago. My pilots (trained professionals) now tell me to sit down and shut the f$&k up in the back. I have the attention span of a ferret and that is not a personality trait well suited for being a pilot. I flew for 12 years and it is a miracle that I'm still alive...

Jim

[Andrew Benz]

That's funny as hell... Jim, how do you like the 50-150 prototype? I am really interested in this lens as well as all the RED glass.

That's funny as hell... Jim, how do you like the 50-150 prototype? I am really interested in this lens as well as all the RED glass.
I really dig that shot above.

The 50-150 is amazing... :-)

Beautiful Pics! When, if you have the time, will you guys be posting some new footage?

[David Groundwater]

I love beavers too.

tee hee. i always end up sounding lurid.:shiftyph34r:

[Remy Carter]

nice thing about the incredible quality of the frames is that it should be much easier to sell the Red to my bosses at a large paper. They still do print photos even with the web taking over for most of them in the very near future.

I stopped flying several years ago. My pilots (trained professionals) now tell me to sit down and shut the f$&k up in the back. I have the attention span of a ferret and that is not a personality trait well suited for being a pilot. I flew for 12 years and it is a miracle that I'm still alive...

Jim
Glad to know that Jim. Last thing we need is a missing head of Red.

LOL. Jannard cracks me up.

But what a great personality trait for the current adventure!

"Ferrets are naturally inquisitive creatures with a taste for adventure. They have a short attention span and are constantly seeking new and more exciting things to explore and experience. With a built in sense of mischief and a zest for life they make loving and entertaining companions."
"Expect the unexpected. Ferrets are full of surprises."

Yeah, no kidding!

beavers are amazing - just flew in one up on kodiak island - probably the most enjoyable flight i've ever had

dmig,

Come to Orygun, the beaver state. Shawn can show you around of north and I'll show you around down south. Lots of beavers where ever you go.

[Hrvoje Simic]

Yeah...ferrets tend to be problematic sometimes...

[Greg Voevodsky]

Jim, where's the optional gun turret for your vehicle?

You know, you could mount your RED in the turret and go out shooting.

Now, I know you'll want that for x-mas!

[Tim H.]

Uhhhhmmm... that looks a lot like Hidden Valley/Decker/Encinal Canyon. If I find out you guys were filming that close to me without my knowledge, I'm punching somebody in the balls pretty hard... starting with myself.

Actually I think that is Majestic Canyon or somewhere around Santiago Canyon in Orange County.

I drive my 550 down it all the time - minus the RED. :(

The ferret pic just made me spit vodka on my laptop. LMAO.

The analogy of the attention span of a ferret is something I've got to use in a conversation. That's how I feel most days.

I love Orcas but haven't been there for a couple of years. I didn't build anything there. He must have had a few too many beers. I live on a different island out in the middle of nowhere.

The only way to get here is by plane... shot with RED 50-150mm zoom.

One day, I will have a place in the San Juans. Use to go up their as a kid and island hop by sailboat. My dad's dive buddies would go diving for abalone and I'd jump around on rocks for hours until I'd hurt myself. Then we'd put up tents and let the sound of the waves lull us to sleep. Amazing place. Amazing memories. You're a blessed man Jim.
