At last, I have obtained the tracking numbers to our 1st RED ONE and tomorrow I will be waiting patiently to take delivery TOMORROW! I went ahead and activated my insurance a few weeks back in case the FedEx truck gets held up on a bridge and taken over by terrorist…must protect the precious cargo.

48 hour film competition is right around the corner so we might as well double it as a our RED camera test. I just hope the workflow does not slow us down considering we only have 48 hours to complete the short film. I have been experimenting with Final Cut Studio’s log and transfer tool which encodes the R3D (raw RED file format) into a 2k ProRes format which I feel is more then enough to deliver in. The results are stunning and this was all done on my laptop.

If you live in the NYC area and are interesting in participating in a 48 hour film festival then drop us a line with you name and contact and include “48 hour crew” in your subject line.
