Ripley is on the left, Samantha on the right

Ripley (RED ONE Camera #16) plucked to shoot music video, “Solo El Principio” in Los Angeles. Right at home with hot girls and cars, our camera doesn’t take long to record some beautiful pictures. Evin is DP, Brook is AC and I pitch in as AD. Sample RED One camera images from this shoot are posted at bottom of this page.

These production stills reveal just one of the benefits of shooting with the RED.  Note distance from camera to actress (about 7 feet) and distant from actress to background (about 3 feet) and the resulting depth of field. Try and get this look with a HVX-200 or a Varicam.

Being part of the first group that were lucky enough to get their RED Cameras on day one (as in August 2007) made us all feel like pioneers or explorers. Shooting some of the first public images with the RED ONE camera was exhilarating. Remember that there was no audio, it only shot 4K and only at 23.97, and there were no working EVF’s.

The day after delivery, we wasted no time and I was lucky enough to be invited to be part of some initial testing that was organized at Chapman College by Brook Willard, and Evin Grant. Jared Land even made an appearance, dropping off a lens for us to play with. Now that I think of it, I guess Scott Webster (#23) and I (#15 & #16) were invited because we had the cameras!

In June 2007, in conjunction with RED and APPLE, Video Resources, Inc. sponsored a seeingRED event and gave Southern California video and film professionals an opportunity to See and Hear about the RED ONE and workflow in HD and 4K.
