Redrock, Brevis, SGPro Shootout

Dennis Wood · December 19th, 2006, 10:39 PM

Jamon, we do have plans for an HD100 relay, but it's behind our new mattebox, flip module and follow focus in priority...so we should see it around Spring :-)

It's great you Brighton guys are hooking up! And Wayne, if you're anything like me, you probably need some social excursions right about now :-) I'm meeting with some local film chaps tomorrow which will be likely our first official adapter used locally, other than mine. These guys get a sneak peak at the dolly and crane projects too. One of the nice consequences of the Cinevate project is that I've had a chance to meet (and more every week) some of the local talents with great passion for film making. Wayne, I'm sure you're seeing the same over there.

Wayne Kinney · December 20th, 2006, 05:23 AM

Mike,

I would be happy for you to come and take a look.

Dennis,

Yeah its true, i've met a few talented people throught this project, interesting stuff.

Happy holidays to everyone!!

Hi Mike,

Welcome to Brighton mate - hope you're enjoying it?! Just make sure you don't get struck down with Brightonitis - i.e. sitting around smoking and drinking and not doing any work!!

Whilst we're on the subject of checking out kit, I wonder if I could be cheeky enough to ask if I could check out one of your HVX's for a couple of hours sometime after the NY? I'm slated to shoot a low-budget action feature next year, and I'm wanting to look at my options for variable frame-rate HD - be a lot easier/more pleasant to check out a camera here than heading up to London, and there'll be a couple of beers in it for you (and maybe a week or two's rental in the summer, if you're interested)!...

Have a great xmas and NY guys - here's to Brighton!

Wayne Kinney · December 20th, 2006, 09:54 AM

Brighton Rules!!! OK, i'll shut up ;)

Jamon Lewis · December 20th, 2006, 11:45 AM

SGpro for HD100 Wayne?

Wayne Kinney · December 20th, 2006, 11:56 AM

Jamon,

The SGpro has been tested with the HD100 and works like a charm. The stock fujinion lens needs to be used.

Jamon Lewis · December 20th, 2006, 04:31 PM

Thanks Wayne, no flip though rite? Any plans for a relay for the HD100 or i should look for a relay separate from somewhere else?

Wayne Kinney · December 20th, 2006, 05:30 PM

No flip or relay, Jamon

Mike Connolly · December 20th, 2006, 07:46 PM

Thanks Wayne, I'll take you up on that in the new year, and Dominic, I'm sure we can come up with a deal then too. I'm in Germany with the inlaws untill the 6th Jan.

Contact me by email:
mcon@electricpig.net in Jan, and we'll meet for a beer.

I tell you what, there's so many pubs around me in Hannover that I don't think Britonitis will be long in settling in...

Dominic Jones · December 21st, 2006, 01:11 PM

Hanover eh?! Dangerous!... If you haven't found out already, btw, the Dover Castle does a mean Sunday roast!

I'm on a project until about the 9/10th Jan so I'll drop you a line after that - have a great time in Germany mate...

Yves Fortin · December 23rd, 2006, 08:02 PM

When can we have a resumé from your test ?

Phil Bloom · December 27th, 2006, 12:09 PM

ok. now Christmas is over I will have a chance to do this. Thanks

Ing Poh Hii · December 27th, 2006, 02:28 PM

Thanks a lot Phil, Loooooooooooook forward to your insight views to these great products. @~@.

Arne Nostitz · December 28th, 2006, 01:58 AM

hi phil!

just a little question you may can answer before :-)
Is the brevis as sharp as the m2?

thanks a lot

Phil Bloom · December 29th, 2006, 06:53 PM

yes it is arne

I have hit a snag with the results. My Mac's firewire ports have completely stopped responding. I have no idea why and have tried all sorts of fixes. Until I get this fixed I can't access any of the footage. If anyone can help I would be very grateful!
