Friday, December 17, 2010 at 11:41AM We had our Holiday Xmas Party last night - much fun! We had a RED camera set up with a trigger for guests to take "self portrait" snap shots - here's what happened:
Tuesday, October 26, 2010 at 12:01PM Here's a little video of some of our tests of new, unreleased firmware update for the TERADEK CUBE which allows "camera controlled" wireless recording with the RED ONE.
In case you've been hiding under a rock - the Teradek Cube is a new wireless device that streams H264 video over IP - there is a HD-SDI model and an HDMI model for the DSLR kids. What is cool about the Cube is that you can actually set up two cameras to stream on the same network - and view both streams live on a laptop using VLC. And you use a dual band wireless router you can have multiple folks on set watching the live video on their personal laptops.
But what I'm REALLY excited about is the new beta firmware - (not released yet) - that allows you to CAPTURE H264 video to an NFS share.
The Cube will record the clip using the CLIP NAME that is embedded in the HD-SDI stream coming off the RED ONE camera - starting and stopping automatically by reading the record state flag that is also embedded in the HD-SDI stream of the RED ONE. I was successfully recording two cameras over a single network to my 17" laptop - 100% wireless.
Then, you use AirVideo server software (FREE - Mac, PC and Linux) - to serve the same folder you set up as your NFR share.
Download iPad and iPhone versions of AirVideo for a whopping $2.99 and you can watch the recorded clips immediately after the camera cuts - and you can watch previously recorded clips while you keep shooting.
Huge thanks to Deanan for his work with Teradek - this is a super cool system with lots of possible configurations and options!
I'll update this post when I have new info from Teradek as to when the firmware will be available.
Saturday, October 23, 2010 at 12:46PM Lionsgate posted the trailer for Rabbit Hole - the film opens December 17th in select theaters. There's some good Oscar buzz for the outstanding performances. Shot in 4K on RED ONE (original M sensor).
You can download the 1920x1080 version on iTunes.

RABBIT HOLE is a vivid, hopeful, honest and unexpectedly witty portrait of a family searching for what remains possible in the most impossible of all situations. Becca and Howie Corbett (NICOLE KIDMAN and AARON ECKHART) are returning to their everyday existence in the wake of a shocking, sudden loss. Just eight months ago, they were a happy suburban family with everything they wanted. Now, they are caught in a maze of memory, longing, guilt, recrimination, sarcasm and tightly controlled rage from which they cannot escape. While Becca finds pain in the familiar, Howie finds comfort. The shifts come in abrupt, unforeseen moments. Becca hesitantly opens up to her opinionated, loving mother (DIANNE WIEST) and secretly reaches out to the teenager involved in the accident that changed everything (MILES TELLER); while Howie lashes out and imagines solace with another woman (SANDRA OH). Yet, as off track as they are, the couple keeps trying to find their way back to a life that still holds the potential for beauty, laughter and happiness. The resulting journey is an intimate glimpse into two people learning to re-engage with each other and a world that has been tilted off its axis.
