How to shoot with the Red One camera

After shooting a feature film with the Red One camera, I had to learn how to maneuver with the camera in the lightest form possible. This video illustrates the quickest way to get the shots you want with the Red One.

What's the hype with RED camera? They seem to have a mystique aura about them. Does it have higher resolution than the standard 1080p? I know these questions are pretty rudimentary and can be answered from Wikipedia but I'm on Youtube and vis a vis it's much more succinct and expedient.

@supercooled It's 4 times the resolution of HD!! It shoots native 4k files, IMAX film is the only thing that is higher rez...for now until the RED EPIC comes :)

@EdwardMendoza when you say native 4k files what does that mean exactly?

[EdwardMendoza]

@Mstrat86 I mean that they are not anamorphic stretch, it's actually 4096×3072 pixels. Cool, huh?

@Shortfilmtests If you don't need to shoot for more than a week then yes, renting for that amount is optimal. We had to shoot an entire feature so it made more sense owning :)

@EdwardMendoza Is the camera you are shooting on in the video rented or bought. I am thinking about renting one for a day for £350. Do you think that's a good deal?

@Mstrat86 ok - whats an anamorphic stretch hahaha

@BrennanKnows Its never about the equipment its always about the story, you dont need the best equipment to make a great movie. If you use that excuse of not having the best equipment then you will get nothing done! Just get out there and start making it. Use you initiative!
