Ha ha beat you to it!

[Brook Willard]

Crap! Well at least I have this one...

Gotta attach the camera report somehow. Wait until you see what I got back from the lab. :)

[Brook Willard]

As promised, here's what came back from the lab!

[Brook Willard]

Well, in the mean time, here are a few more I shot today. My sticker's been peeled so many times that it's just a vinyl logo at this point. :)

Name that "4K" ;)

And yes, SCRATCH is "connected" to RED. :)

[Brook Willard]

After some technical issues and a quick repair, I was closing up an SR tonight when it struck me... screw this movement stuff. ;)

[Like my "clean room" environment?]

[Brook Willard]

Gotta bump it with a picture...

This is a composite from five pictures taken with a sticker. So it's both real and fake.

[Brook Willard]

Heheh, nice.

I've got one more in me... I should have pictures by tomorrow night.

[Clayton Harper]

Apologies in advance to all. :innocent:

[chuck colburn]

I thought you were told to go to your room!

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Ack! I saw it again... My eyes are bleeding. The pain! ....Oh, the pain!

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Wait a minute! I thought this thread was for "REAL" entries, no Photoshop... You don't suppose? Lordnumberzero, you dog, you!

[Brook Willard]

Ah geez... keep the Photoshops to the other thread! :laugh:

[Finner]

Wait a minute! I thought this thread was for "REAL" entries, no Photoshop... You don't suppose? Lordnumberzero, you dog, you!

So Jeff from what I can make of this you are saying no Photoshop on the Hasselhoff. So what I am getting from this is you would like to place the red sticker on Hasselhoff's briefs yourself?

[Clayton Harper]

I am trying to go through his manager. The agent was a dead end...:holloween:

[Brook Willard]

Well, I got weathered out. My so-awesome-it's-guaranteed-to-win picture didn't get to happen.

But I still took these as a conciliation prize. I might be able to get the pic in before the end of March... maybe.

[Dan Blanchett]

Brook, I guess there's no limit to how many entries you can submit? Maybe there should be a prize for effort... :gun:

[Brook Willard]

I've always just assumed my yellow name meant I wasn't officially a part of the contest. As a result, I've just been trying to rally the troops by keeping submissions up.

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Eligible or not, you're doing great at boosting morale in here. I'm surprised there aren't more submissions yet. Then again, everyone could be having my luck... Several failed attempts at something cool, so I took it a different direction and will post closer to the deadline.

[Dan Blanchett]

I predict you'll see quite a few submissions at the deadline. I hope so anyway. And I think you should be eligible Brook, yellow text or not. It's not like you're on the RED payroll.

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Yes, but that yellow name gives him the power to make the competition disappear. :unsure:

hahahahaha

[Craig Schober]

don't want to blow up anybody's spot but i just got a cool, free red sticker in the mail today and handwritten note thanking me for being one of the first 100 to support red. not complaining at all but my number is 121. i wonder if the first couple dozen reds are being counted as internal use only for red employees, loaners, etc. so maybe i'm considered among the first batch shipping after all?

[Dan Blanchett]

Or it could be that some folks bought more than one camera, so your number does not reflect the 121st buyer, just the 121st camera. Jim, for example, has numbers 1 thru 5, but he's only one person (despite rumors to the contrary).

now it's your turn again kelly.

Blimey - I thought I'd opened the other browser there for moment - That's quite a start for a first post.

Well done ! Well done!

[Chris Forbes]

Very nice, anonymuse. I am glad that we would have to work for that snowboard. Loved the modeled lighting in the first one.

[Poi Boy]

I loved it also !
next time rotate the sticker so the lighting matches. Love it!

Nice one, RedMagent. :watsup:

[Hrvoje Simic]

Cool, thinkbug.
Maybe if you got it on the lights -that is, if they're flat...I tried to do it on the traffic light, but it was too convex. Nice pic, man.

[Hrvoje Simic]

I just love the symbolism.

[Dan Blanchett]

Cool, thinkbug.

Thanks. Yeah, timing those flashing lights would be beyond my already limited abilities. I needed a tripod, too. EDIT: Just realized what you meant. Are you trying to get me arrested?!! :ohmy:

BTW, yours is scary. You obviously didn't use any red-eye reduction! :biggrin:

[Dan Blanchett]

RED ONE: So affordable, a homeless dude can get one. (almost)

http://www.reduser.net/forum/uploaded/110_1175321527.jpg

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Nice one thinkbug.

Anyway, I just tried to post mine and i'm having trouble attaching images? WTF?

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Tried it again... No luck. It's sleepy time now for me, I'll try again in a few hours or I'll just link them from one of my web spaces. :/

[Brook Willard]

Only 24 hours to go, everybody!

[Hrvoje Simic]

[Dan Blanchett]

Now that's pretty cool. And just in time for the Final Four.

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Get those RED/blue 3D glasses out of storage. There's quite a story behind this image, more details to come in a bit when I have time to write it up.

Taken with the R3D v0.01 camera. Coming soon, to de-evolutionize the 3D imaging industry. :matrix: :biggrin:

Edit:> This image assumes the red lens covers your left eye and the blue lens covers your right eye. This is necessary for the most sublime viewing experience.

That was fun! I always keep a pair of RED/cyan and a pair of polarisers on my desk.
Would like more info on R3D. lol

[Corrado Silveri]

I Love the "triple-basket" pictures and the "homeless" one.

When I made my entry, I was thinking about a "real world" use of the stickers, these are really more creative.
Maybe I'm misunderstood the kick-off message of the contest but... It's too late!. Not a complain, just a touhght.
I the meantime, I can ride my brand new Red-Scoot everyday...

The best win! Good luck to all!

Elcurado.

...You know that little pinhole project I've mentioned? Anyway, I'll post back in a bit with a better explanation.

Elcurado, I'll take your bitchin' bike over a snowboard any day! :wink:
I think some people went for "sexy" and others for "humor" or "clever" but they are all valid.

Sure. I've forgot the beautiful and sensual pictures from anonymuse... :blink: And the Jeff's R3D.

Jeff, are you doing a dual pinhole stereoscopic camera? Are you sooo crazy? I'm wrong?

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Elcurado, I'll take your bitchin' bike over a snowboard any day! :wink:

Same here...


I think some people went for "sexy" and others for "humor" or "clever" but they are all valid.

I just thought it was all about the coolest or most unique thing you could do with a RED sticker. I may as well post the pic of the 3" sticker on my snowboard helmet that won't stay on because I had it on my hockey helmet first... One of my local ice rinks that I play at had to rebuild one of the ice sheets about 2 weeks ago. I tried to convince them to put my 20" sticker as the face-off dot at center ice, but they wouldn't go for it. :sad:

[Dan Blanchett]

That's a shame!

My one big idea that never came to fruition: SONY's US headquarters is here in San Diego and I thought about buying a couple of plastic toy tanks, slapping stickers on them, and placing them in the foreground of the shot of the Sony building to signal the RED Army invasion. RED DAWN!

I also thought about rolling the sticker around some rice and seaweed and chopping it up to look like RED sushi rolls. 'cause everyone knows RED is best served RAW... :shifty:

Alas, there is only so much time and effort we can devote to this.

[Brook Willard]

Ideas that never came to fruition:

Me recreating my avatar with my RED helmet: weathered out.
Putting the RED sticker on a Panavision case: camera was out of batteries.
Putting the RED sticker on a Sony Pictures Entertainment lot sign: camera was out of batteries.
Putting the RED sticker on an Arricam LT: all personal cameras or cell phones on set were confiscated/held by the production department.

End tally: somebody at FotoKem has one sticker, the other is on my helmet. I took more pictures than I probably should have. I also need to be able to afford a DSLR - these point/shoot jobbers suck! :)

Greatest victory? Getting the sticker on a Spirit 4K [as seen earlier in this thread... but here's a wider shot].

I'm officially done with my entries. Kelly, it's in your court. :)

[Poi Boy]

I got slammed for my PS entries...that got me thinking this is about cinema not stills; here is my entry.

[Dan Blanchett]

Nice timelapse.

[Hrvoje Simic]

Nice ideas guys.

Elcurado, I think you'll loove seeing that sticker on the tank when your two babies arrive...now just take care of the bike's Red case and you're ready to roll...

Thanks for nice comments, guys. The sticker was ment to go much higher, but there was no time to get that "vertical" in shape...

I had an idea of buying a small plastic chainsaw for kids (yes they make those), getting sticker on it, going to the cinema projector booth and goof as if attacking the projector.
Children's chainsaw would symbolise young device attackin on older ones, aand no one would let me in the cinema with the real thing, obviously.
Arranged with the cinema owner, but the time was too short - also remembered that someone had a chainsaw pic in some earlier posts.

Good luck, people.

YOU ARE BIDDING ON A GENUINE PREPRODUCTION MODEL RED CAMERA.

MINT CONDITION!!!

I'M SELLING THIS FOR A FRIEND SO I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE DETAILS, BUT AS I SEE THERE IS A PL MOUNT AND YOU CAN SEE THE LARGE PIXEL SENSOR INSIDE.

YOU CAN CHOOSE RESOLUTION, SENSITIVITY MODE AND MANY OTHER FUNCTIONS.

THIS IS A BEAST!!!

INCLUDED: CAMERA BODY, HIGH RESOLUTION MONITOR AND RAID STORAGE

ONLY SERIOUS BIDDERS!!!

[Dan Blanchett]

Omen, you're insane. (and obviously bored)

:biggrin:

[chuck colburn]

See!!! I told you a quick release lens mount was possible. The pixels are a little larger then I expected.
Got my vote.

[Jeff Kilgroe]

What omen isn't telling the unsuspecting buyer is this...

Here's a pic of a crew setting up this camera with a 300mm lens.

[Jeff Kilgroe]

When this sticker contest was first announced, I immediately began concocting all sorts of ideas. A couple of them were really out there and may not have even reached completion by the contest deadline. Such as booking passage for a RED sticker to the International Space Station or on an upcoming NASA probe. Some of my ideas even had questionable legal ramifications… I seriously considered placing my 20” sticker over the 22” O of a Sony sign on a local building. But one after one, all my cool ideas crumbled and I was left desperately thinking up stuff I could do in the last 10 days or so of the contest. While doing my usual late-night surfing on REDUSER.net and pondering my latest idea -- a RED sticker fashion shoot. I was wondering if my Sticker Photo Shoot idea would work best with ladies wearing lingerie, bikinis or only strategically placed RED stickers, I happened upon new inspiration....

On 3/21/2007, our fearless leader (Mr. Jannard) had posted this (http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?p=21070#post21070) in the midst of a thread discussing how we REDUSER members believed the RED camera should be manufactured:

http://www.appliedvisual.com/redimages/inspiration.gif

Being the smart-ass joker I often am, I immediately thought I should whip up a pinhole camera out of a soda can or a shoe box or something and post a response. But no, something else popped into my mind – STICKER CONTEST! I would in fact take a swing at building a camera. And not only that, but I would make it do at least one thing that the RED One won’t do. A bit of thought on the matter (just a few minutes) and…

The R3D 0.01 was born! Or at least the concept… The R3D camera (or Rudimentary 3-D) would meet the above goal as it would be able to shoot properly registered, 3D stereo imagery. Something the RED One does not do (at least not as a single camera in it’s standard form, as far as we currently know).

So with that concept in mind, how does this tie into a RED Sticker Contest? I will tell you. Once complete, I will use this highly advanced <cough> 3D imaging device to take 3D photos of my RED stickers and I will present them to you, the viewing public, in glorious 3D. …Red/Blue 3D glasses will be necessary for your viewing pleasure. Stereo images produced here assume that the RED lens covers the left eye, the blue lens covers the right, as that is the standard as far as I'm aware. And the way my two available 3D glasses (from some of my kids' books) are configured.

Anyway, I took the concept of a home-built, box pinhole camera and expanded it into 3D territory. I'm not the first to do such a thing, but it's not very common either. Attempting to save myself time/money by using materials already in my possession turned out to be a complete disaster. I was attempting to use 4x5 sheet film. I already had some Kodak T-MAX 400 in my hands. It wasn't supposed to expire for another 5 months, but either it or my supply of developer chemicals had already gone bad. Long story short, I fought with the project for several days and this one 3D picture is my only fully successful attempt. Shot on my kitchen table, my RED stickers all still on their backing, except for the 3" sticker on my ski/snowboard helmet (left side / blurry). And other curios thrown in for fun and additional depth/perspective. Lighting was afternoon sun through windows, overhead lamp, two additional can lights in ceiling. The pin-holes on this camera are super-tiny and give a pretty good picture, except blurry in spots due to uncleared debris and/or rough edges. But being so small the exposure time was 55 minutes. Yes, no joke. 55 minutes with possibly expired Kodak T-MAX 400 4x5 film.

Once again, the picture:

http://www.appliedvisual.com/redimages/3dstickers.jpg

I built the R3D camera out of black foam-core board, glue, black silicone caulking to seal light leaks/corners, Coca-Cola can for material in which to make pinhole openings. I made my dual 4x5 film sheet holder with one piece of foam board on top of another. A spacer was made out of black matte board to allow enough room for the film to slot into place.

Camera back / film holder:
http://www.appliedvisual.com/redimages/holder.jpg

Here's the whole camera:
http://www.appliedvisual.com/redimages/r3d01.jpg

Hope you all enjoyed... I'd be happy to post more pics or details if anyone is interested. The forum only lets me link 4 images per post. I doubt I'll carry this little R3D "experiment" any further. It's kinda neat, but lots of design flaws uncovered with this first version. After all, I didn't have a plan, I just built it and invented as I went along. Worked OK, but the film pieces are a bit too far apart. I would do better with a 2-hole design using a single 5x7 or 8x10 sheet of photographic paper. Or making the camera longer, increasing the focal length / zoom effect. But this also increases exposure time. This first prototype is showing lots of wear from the dozens of attempts made at getting a 3D picture.

[Dan Blanchett]

Well I'm impressed. Pretty cool project. If I ever get my hands on some 3D glasses I'll have to remember to come back here and take another look.

[Jeff Kilgroe]

I suppose it would be easy to make your own... If you have any color filters or gels for lights, you just need a red and a blue, hold the proper one over the corresponding eye and look at your screen.

Or try...

http://www.berezin.com/3d/3dglasses.htm

http://www.3dglassesonline.com/

...I don't know anything about either of those two, but I found them with a quick search and they don't look too bad. OTOH, WTF do you really need 3D glasses for? Hehe...

[Jeff Kilgroe]

OK, had to throw a couple last minute ones up... These were just done with my Nikon in a few minutes.

Here is the 3" sticker on my helmet, sitting on my 20" sticker that still has no home. I was going to place it on the back window of my SUV, but I've decided to sell the thing this summer and don't want to waste the sticker just yet. Any suggestions?

http://www.appliedvisual.com/redimages/helmetand20inleft.jpg

And here's the same thing in anaglyphic 3D! I did this with the Nikon by taking the left eye shot (picture above) and then sliding the camera over about 4" or so. Handheld - I used the back of a chair for support. Did the separations and layer screening in Photoshop. Sorry for the crappy lighting. Actually not half bad for just eye-balling it. This one is in color, but as with most red/blue anaglyphs, they pretty much shift to grey when viewing through appropriate glasses.

Is Kelly the official judge? I don't recall... (Note to self: find florist who can deliver first thing monday morning, order 3 dozen RED roses.)

Anyway, GOOD LUCK to all!

Dumb luck! Actually I did not spot it at all...Kelly pointed it out to me! I was too focussed on getting off a few shots of the trolly before it flew by. EDIT: ok, nevermind, I misread your comment. I was as surprised to see it in there...

Thanks for all your comments folks. I thought there were a lot of great entries. Some really creative ones too.

lol, you went and built a camera for it and all. I thought yours was excellent!

I agree, I thought the 3D pic had a strong chance based on sheer ingenuity!

[Paul Hazlett]

congrats Thinkbug.

the homeless dude was my personal favorite but the train was cool too

[Hrvoje Simic]

Hey AppliedVisual, you made a 3D cam from scratch. That's pretty impressive.

[Poi Boy]

Hey Jeff,
Now make a series of stills with the camera and edit them into a movie. THAT would be really impressive ! Cameron who ?

Next time I will shot a naked homeless beautiful girl at the trainstation, riding my bike...

OMFG-- that is so funny! (don't forget the hand cannon)

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Anyway,

Thanks for the kind words on my entry guys!

I am so kicking myself right now... I had a stack of attempts that I didn't develop because the film either slipped for one reason or another or a couple I was stupid and slotted the film in backwards. I went and processed them just to see what I had and I'm a bit nauseated.

I haven't scanned any in yet, but I just had to take shot with the still camera and play a bit real quick with a couple. Look at these two. Initially discarded because the right eye view was half out of the slot even though the top was taped and I put it in facing the wrong way. I set them aside in an empty TMAX box and kept the lid closed so they wouldn't get exposed.

Because the right view was out of wack, I don't know if they'll line-up properly for 3D imaging, but way more clear and nice than the image I submitted. I've got more, but it's starting to get depressing to look at them. :waaa:

Anyway the negs are on top, and I just inverted in photoshop for the bottom, no color correction or anything. Grrrrr......

Ace baby that is really cool ! not what I meant, but very cool !

[Ace]

Oh, so what did you mean make the images move? Just curious..

[Poi Boy]

shoot a bunch and edit them into a 3d movie.

I'd love to, but with the exposure times on this thing and developing, that's a scary proposition. :)

I like Ace's wiggle-vision though. I might give that a shot or something similar.

If somebody has two similar DSLRs, two remote releases and some time on their hands, it'd be pretty simple to mount the cameras on a piece of wood right next to each other. Put a handle on the wood, set the cameras to "stun" and run around [well... walk slowly around] taking sequential pictures! Bring them into your favorite compositing software and you should be in business.


Ready... go!

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Hehe... I've got two identical 50mm Nikkor lenses. If I had two identical DSLRs I'd probably try it.

[Poi Boy]

cams and lenses, easy enough to get; time on your hands, priceless.
Aloha

[Carlo Rho]

You did it thinkbug!
I'm really happy for you but I have to post this one!
I've been shooting so much in the last weeks that I could not buy the sticker and make better this photo, but it's not photoshop!
But this is what I want to do!
See you all at NAB!

Ciao Carlo.

[anonymuse]

congratulations to thinkbug for his winning submission(s)
personally thought the homeless pic was stronger than the train (still a very cool shot of course)

i'm miffed that nobody seems to have noticed the symbolism in my 3rd entry, the goodbye note signifying the death of his relationship with film
all anybody sees is boobies. sigh

ah weel. next time will try the cannon toting homeless naked biker chick idea as other poster suggested. maybe have her in latex chaps spanking a sony executive. can i borrow your ride elcurado?

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Yeah... time is good too. I've got quite a bit of that, but not a lot of freedom to go with it. I'm hoping to change that real soon though. :)

I noticed the symbolism, I think most did... Don't worry, we all had an appreciation of your entries and probably on more than one level.

Hail boobies!

[Hrvoje Simic]

I thought your entry was going to win, anonymuse. I also think most people noticed the symbolism.

[Paul Hazlett]

Next time I will shot a naked homeless beautiful girl at the trainstation, riding my bike...

NOW THAT I would like to see. but only if the women has not been homeless
too long....hehe

Got the board on Friday. It looks killer! The entire RED Team signed it (at my request). Thanks Kelly, Jim, Jarred and the whole RED gang-- it will look sweet mounted on the wall at my new production facility! :biggrin:

Congrats again, thinkbug!
Also for the brand-new avatar... (is it you, actually?)

Please, post a picture of the signed board...

[Dan Blanchett]

That is so cool! Congrats man...

Thanks.


Also for the brand-new avatar... (is it you, actually?)

Yes, it's me, solarized. My previous avatar (with hippy hair) was me 5 years ago, but my girlfriend said to stop living in the past so I updated it. :calm:


Please, post a picture of the signed board...

Okay, will try to do that this week.

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Congrats again.

...You could send it to me, I'll mount it on my wall and take a picture. :)

[Dan Blanchett]

Hey thanks Jeff, let me think about it...

:)

[Hrvoje Simic]

Cool, man! Congrats again!

[Dan Blanchett]

Here are some quick photos (not of Jarred's artistic caliber, but the best I can manage with my snappy cam)

Well I hate to bump an old thread... but I finally got around to getting one of those pictures I had planned and - what the hell - gotta post it somewhere.

Now what I really need are some Oakley Water Jackets with solid lenses [aka without the ventilation holes] to wear instead of my a-wires.

[goldyprog]

A good bumper sticker would be (and this is communicated to people who don't know Red, film, video, etc.)

"Red... you don't know of it, but soon you will see it."

Is that in mid air or is it in the plane yet?

You can see Brooks chute open above him in the pictures so I sure hope for his sake he was still not in the plane

[damonbots]

Speaking of REDuser sticker contest...

Can somebody at RED pop a 6" sticker in the mail for me? I Ordered one for the contest a while back and never got it. Sent a few e-mails to no avail. I know you guys are busy, so no spilled milk. Thanks

Bingo.

[Ken K]

Brook, were you jumping out of a WWI bi-plane for those shots? :wink:

[Noelle]

If you could email me directly I can send that out to you.
I need your current name and addresss. Sorry for the wait.
