To our RED USER friends in the east coast:
After 4 months of construction, Light Iron New York is finally complete and will be opening Monday, May 20th! To celebrate, we're throwing an Open House...

Hey all -
You are right on the money in terms of timing:-)

YES! There will be a REDUSER Party this year.
YES! There will be reasons to go that will be TOTALLY worth it. Trust me on that.

Dear Friends,

I have a very exciting announcement to make, one in which I am very proud to personally present to this great community.
As of today, Light Iron will be expanding to New York and...

Clean. Ultra Primes.
Don Burgess, ASC as DP. Corinne Bogdanowicz as the colorist. This is our 4th consecutive collaboration with Don and I swear the man can do no wrong;-)

Glad you liked it....

Good points all-around, Tom. But just to be clear: I qualified my statement regarding the death of the dailies post house, not post houses altogether. Remember, I'm a post house, so I know what we...

Sareesh-

Actually, I have no problem revealing our cards:-)
Ever since I started working in Hollywood, I found that sharing information is more effective in building relationships than in...

I've enjoyed reading this thread since it started, and other threads like it. There are some good points made by all contributors and I take the time to read each one and "feel out" where the writer...

Great write-up of some behind the scenes of Hitchcock by Mike Seymour and FXGuide. It also includes an in-detph look at the on-set process of the film.
I think RED DITs in particular will enjoy...

BTW, Michael, what was the compression rate used during shooting (8:1 , 5:1, other)? There were really pleasant images to enjoy throughout all the shades and shadows, specially...

You make a great point, Rudi. I had to sound like a politician avoiding the question, but the truth is it depends. This has been a point that I've discussed in the past many times, but the gist of...

You're totally on the right track, Eric, and asking the right questions. That's what I call "the Caboose Effect" which suggests you need to consider ALL of your deliverables first and work backwards...

FLIGHT, the latest EPIC theatrical release, hits US theaters today. -I think audiences are likely to be more excited about seeing Bob Zemeckis' latest feature over the fact that it's shot on Epic. ...

42 was shot by the great Don Burgess, who still routinely brings back pictures that make us go "Wow!"
Color is being done at Light Iron by Corinne Bogdanowicz. Corinne also just finished "Flight"...

By the year 2020, anyone (I don't care if it's Mr. Deakins or my Mom) suggesting "a 2K upres is good enough" will sound like someone suggesting Neil Armstrong never went to the moon.

We have a...

Tonight is the SUPERMEET for CPUG. Always a HUGE draw and very exciting stuff with great access.
This year it's right in the center of Amsterdam - across from the Parliament building. In the Grand...

As I've been watching the Olympics it's hard to believe I'll be in London in just a few short weeks! -But I keep thinking about how excited I am to come visit and be a part of REDucation London...

With so many friends on this forum, I thought you might appreciate these thoughts. I've been struggling with a recent "change in the weather" and I needed a place to start. So much is accomplished...

If you're an EPIC owner, a lot of what went into making the EPIC such an amazing camera is thanks to cinematographer, John Schwartzman. From camera features, to color science, to rig configurations,...

John is a real stand-up guy and knows his stuff.
You're in good hands with him.

New MBP is only a QuadCore. With NO Rocket, 12 core MacPro wins...by a lot.

Remember: when using the Rocket, there is no qualitative control. The Rocket takes over and gives everyone the same debayer. This is one of the nice things about the Rocket: you automatically get a...
