REDucation

[TedRed]

Hello Everyone,

The Curriculum for the RED tech part of REDucation is up on the Website now... this is just an overview of what we plan to cover, there will likely be more as we refine, and much of what we cover is designed to be hands on learning as you know if you've been following this thread. Looking forward to feedback and suggestions.

FYI - we are working on the Curriculum for the Post Production part of REDucation now - we will likely post that early next week.

We will also be starting the process of interviewing for the teaching staff very soon, stay tuned for contact info, etc. if you are interested in being an instructor, teaching assistant, or guest speaker for REDucation...

(and by the way, we are having a lot of fun putting this all together, I think the classes are going to be very interesting and valuable for those that have the time to take them - There is so much RED work happening now all over the planet, I get the reachout for more qualified people in the field every day, I presume many of you do as well)

That is EXACTLY what I was looking for!
I may be just a 2nd, but my job DEMANDS that I know my shit, that I'm wickedly fast and good at what I do, and that I am up to date with the newest tools....or I don't work. It's a no-brainer here.
This course will DEFINITELY help me, and I'll be sitting up front. :)
...saving up the pennies....:)

Looking good, Ted.

Ted,
Very nice list. couple of more things if not covered in there somewhere....

- data recovery techniques
- monitoring using LUTS to reflect distribution format.
- full render playback procedures to check noise/blowouts.
- exposure sweet points & how to get them in different lighting scenarios (i.e. filters)

D

Thanks guys - the enthusiasm for what we are doing is very helpful for the group that is planning the classes.

Great suggestions David to add to the list of RED tech curriculum - We'll get that stuff in there for sure.

(the "how to use LUTs" thing could be an entirely separate course :-)

What the reason for the big gap between July and October? I wanted to go in July but simply can't miss my annual comic-con trip.

It might also be helpful (without getting too political) to describe the different aspects of the job per type of production for the RED Tech.

In my experience, this job can be anything from simply backing up and logging data, to helping the DP monitor exposure and focus, to completely operating the Camera Menus and offering help with Framerate, Shutter, Exposure, and TimeCode settings, etc.

The idea is that each production offers many different scenarios and needs, and this impacts the job description of the RED Tech on that particular job, whether it be an Indie Short, a non-union Music Video, a Commercial, or a Union Feature Film.

Food for thought. ;-)
