Good post and info. Was wondering about your recommendation of the WD drive. Any thoughts on the Hitachi 2.5 drives? GIven past experience, not sure how much I trust WD drives long term, are the...

Was Red also used for the behind the scenes videos? If not, what were those shot on?
Thanks

Matt,
I wanted to add my voice in appreciation of setting up the meeting and being so generous with your gear and time. Very interesting stuff.

I'll try to make it for that.

I'm eagerly waiting for the next meeting as well, please keep us posted!

Christian,
Is this class only taught "real time" over the Internet or do you archive the classes for viewing at a later time? I work for a company that provides online courses and we basically post...

From what I've read, it seemed like the PS Technik had more light loss than either the M2 or the Brevis (like more than a stop difference). Would anyone who has used both care to comment? I also...

David, incredible thread so far. Thanks for sharing all of this great information, makes a lot of sense. I like your symphonic analogy as a way to mix up the "intensities" of the various elements so...

This has been a great thread so far. I can definitely relate to the types of issues being brought up here. I'm thinking the Red 18-50 would be useful in a number of situations including interviews,...

I'll be there fer sure. Jason, I'll take notes for you.

Is the meeting tonight or next Monday? I also vote to have change in venue so we can have better interaction. Perhas we could use one on the alternative venues mentioned and order in some pizza?

OK, that's good, it was one of our topics of discussion on the road home from NAB.

What about a DV Rack type of app? I guess if you can see the histograms and other shot data on the monitor...

So essentially, there's a "vcr" mode that you can access from the camera controls? Do you need to "rewind" or is there a multi-take display that you can choose from? I'm thinking P2/XDCAM HD...

So we're on the set making beautiful pictures, but wait, was that last take a beauty or a beast? I've got my Red with the Red Drive, shooting RedCode and I have my trusty Macbook Pro by my side with...

OK boys, we have a lot to talk about! RedCine, two words, Holy Moly!

Matt,
Thanks for putting this together, had a great time talking tech and meeting everybody. Nothing better than being able to talk about camera latitude, raid arrays and digital workflow with...

A lot of what I do involves interviews both on sticks and hand held. Point taken on looking at a wider lens. Let's say you were taking outdoor action shots along with interviews, does that change...

I was thinking about lens selection for doing documentary shoots where you go from situation to situation making swapping out primes a less than ideal task. That led me to thinking about a Nikon,...

Good to know, thanks Taubkin.

What is the screw in filter size for the 85mm Nikkors? Wondering if I can use my Formatt matte box.

Cool, thanks.

I hear breathing talked about here quite a bit and I was wondering what the true definition is. How can you qanitify it in real world terms. Being a video guy, I'm still getting up to speed on primes.

Blair, I think there are some issues with using standard SD/HD video lenses designed for 3-chip cameras on single chip cam like Red or the SI-2K.

BTW, I wasn't taking "potshots" at anybody. I'm...

Well those are pretty obvious benefits and well covered for anyone who's been reading these threads. I'd like to get back to the question of, what do you need to do 4k editing, or at a minimum be...
