this is what we do

Besides shooting long format television shows we do tv spots, and promos . Below are a couple of shots from the last two weeks. We had about 14 on air talent in our studios. The main studio is 80 feet x 100 feet with a seamless cyc that is about 42 feet x 38 feet. The promos were shot on the Red Camera, http://www.red.com” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false; . The second studio is maybe about 60 feet by 4o feet. It was a 6 day shoot with 10-12 hour days. The lighting was HMI’s, tungsten and fluorescents all mixed together but gelled to be the same color in the end. If one shot or so was a bit blue because of the HMI’s they can always tweak in the post production process. The Red camera is a tapeless camera where the images and audio are captured on Compact Flash cards……..aaaaaa the tapeless world.
I did not realize they made dslrs.
Been a bit since i have gone to the red site
interestingyes there was quite a buzz around those red cameras.
some say it’s the future..Very interesting to see your work Tim, thanks for sharing.
Btw there is a very good in-depth review of Red cameras in American Cinematographer Magazine this month,
from someone who has worked with Red a lot. Seems to be quite a balanced article, its not all hype.The article is not online but this is the magazine

I think it’s one of the possible futures, after all both Arri and Panavision have digital cameras on the market, the big difference is that RED is truly revolutionary for a number of reasons (price tag, the fact they built it from scratch in less than 2 years, and the whole modularity aspect of it). Still, 35mm film is doing fine and to this day remains the format of choice for the majority of motion pictures, but I can’t see why the two media shouldn’t be used for different purposes…different tools for different needs.
By the way, when you start thinking about a modular full frame DSLR with a resolutoion of +25 megapixel, than can shoot video at 100 frames per second, and priced at 30k €, it’s hard not to get excited :-)p.s. lots of useful information at the official Red forum, http://www.reduser.net
p.p.s. I’ve been told there are a few red ones in Ireland…these guys have 6 for rental
