REDucation 2012 Dates and Info

[TedRed]

Hello everyone, after a highly successful run of classes in 2011, the last few really focused on EPIC and Scarlet shooting, and viewing 4k via RedCineX Pro in our 4k theater at RED studios Hollywood, we are getting lots more requests for information and upcoming dates for our 2012 Classes.

We've decided to add another class in late February in Hollywood, again focused on hands on camera training and a heathy mix of Production techniques, optimizing the images you create, and moving them into Post Production. This time with a new twist (wouldn't be RED if we didn't experiment and evolve)

After the Main 3 Day class, in addition to the advanced post class for those with that focus, we are also going to run a "put into practice what you learned" workshop. 2 extra days of shooting a real project, moving it into prep for editorial, doing the edit and screening it on the big movie screen. For those that work in parts of the business that don't get a chance to really exercise their creative skills just for the pure fun and "learning on the job" We think this will be a really interesting addition to REDucation.

For those setting their schedules here are the dates and locations:

REDucation Hollywood - February 27th - March 2nd - location RED Studios Hollywood
REDucation NYC - May 21-25th - location TBD
REDucation UK - Sept 3rd-5th - location Pinewood Studios London
REDucation Hollywood - December 3rd - December 7th - location RED Studios Hollywood

Is there a way a Post course could be offered that is scaled to the small to medium size user that does not have the resources of Light Iron - rather uses a non-Rocket Mac with Premiere and hardware you can buy off the Apple Store?

Josh,

Exactly what we are trying out with the two day extension course focused on application of learning from REDucation. This time we are trying it with both shoot and edit (the editorial will be done on HP workstations with Red Rockets and Premiere) and if the model succeeds as we believe it will we will have a focused user post class later in the year.

Mike is The Man but has a waaaaay bigger budget than me. I'm just a wee lad with a Mac tower and an Epic-M/EF trying to decode the dark secrets of REDcine and a color correcting workflow that is in scale with my little $100K world.

Josh-
Hopefully some of the REDucation alumni will agree, but in the post class we spend ample time discussing techniques and tools for every budget. In fact, it is extremely rare that I discuss workflows that can only be used on big budgets! The truth is, the RED workflows that I employ are used on the smallest and largest movies all the same. The tricks and techniques that I teach know no difference between a webisode and a 3D feature. Honestly REDucation is not designed for a specific "class" of creatives. Our curriculum is truly based on the belief that democratization and optimal efficiency can be achieved by every user regardless of their budget or location. Scaleable workflows along with a full understanding of color science and RED manipulation costs you nothing in practice, which is why we are able to satisfy the needs of every RED user.

Hopefully some other alum will be able to confirm our techniques effectively transcend the boundaries of budgets. For the do-it-yourself-er, REDucation 3D and the post course will have a long-lasting, positive affect on your work.

Quick enquiry, don't know if this was asked before:

From someone coming from abroad, are there any hotels (2 to 3 stars) nearby Red Studios Hollywood? How far is Red Studios from LA airport?

I'm seriously considering this but need to see if this fits my budget!

hopefully I can get time off work for some REDvaction.
