Hobbit Production Tool

Hm. Can you guess which camera he will be using? RED! How’d ya know!?

Jackson has a long history with RED, dating back to when he directed the short film ‘Crossing the Line’ as a very early test of prototype RED ONE cameras. “I have always liked the look of Red footage.” he says, “I’m not a scientist or mathematician, but the image Red produces has a much more filmic feel than most of the other digital formats. I find the picture quality appealing and attractive, and with the Epic, Jim and his team have gone even further. It is a fantastic tool, the Epic not only has cutting edge technology, incredible resolution and visual quality, but it is also a very practical tool for film makers. Many competing digital systems require the cameras to be tethered to large cumbersome VTR machines. The Epic gives us back the ability to be totally cable free, even when working in stereo.”

RED Cam Update 20100816

(Gearlust to follow, but thanks to anyone praying for ISRAEL this week – Iran get’s the finishing touch from Russia on their Nuclear sites THIS SATURDAY – August 21, 2010, which would effectively end a lot of things for a lot of people – including us. Also, please pray for the production of Nefarious: Merchant of Souls, a movie that will rock the prayer world as well as any abolitionist activists who see it – pray for the 1st Assistant Director who has a ton of work to do, pray for the child actors (re-enacting child sex slavery worldwide), that God will protect their hearts and give strong salvation to them in the process of intercessory acting, for the Director who has finished casting and is now working with the art department for the look of the re-enactments – and pray for protection against spiritual attacks, for wisdom to recognize attacks and strength to stand against them.)

So! RED has this cookin’ right now: A few pics and a price sheet to contemplate in your planning over the next year to buy a camera.

1st the Epic. Shown (left) as it is being produced. This thing is upgradeable to like 90 megapixels in the future but currently rolls at 120 fps at 5K and 220 fps. The whole RED thing, of course to provide WAY more than what we currently know as “High Definition” and WAY more than the “2K” resolution Spielberg and Lucas used to be content using. We’re talking 3K, 5K… up to like 24K (that’s seeing a fly’s eyes from a like half a mile out)… Anyhoo.

The Scarlet is a little less powerful, but still WALLOPS HD and 2k!

Here’s a pic of it looking at an Epic. Translation: It’s READY!!! Cost sheet follows as well.

For those who want to get amazing images on the cheap, don’t forget about

Pray for Israel, Exodus Cry… make movies that make Yeshua happy… “May the Lamb who was slain receive the reward of His suffering!”

Just plain RED.

Peter Jackson used RED cameras to produce District 9 (a powerful commentary of present day social rifts between ethnicities) and will continue his Hobbit film using them also. Listen in as he reminisces on the unique qualities of this odd little company called “RED.”
