Sequence Training is to run a course for people involved in buying and using the RED camera.
The RED camera heralds a revolution in that finally an affordable alternative to 35mm is available. There have been other high quality digital cinema camera such as the Viper and Genesis, however, these are much more expensive than RED and many most of the alternatives can only be rented and not purchased. The RED 4K camera is available at a price-point unheard of for this level of production and in the short time it has been available has made a huge impact on the production scene.
For more information about Red, see our sister title, MacVideo's review of the Red camera.
Attendees will learn all about the new technologies and integrate the footage into the Final Cut Pro workflow.
The first day is hosted by Ben Manning, owner of Kit & Crew Ltd based at Pinewood Studios. He is an experienced RED camera operator and trained broadcast engineer with an extensive career in the technical side of shooting and camera equipment preparation. He has worked across a range of digital companies, including work at Elstree Studios and now specialises in RED cameras. He has seen the full development of the software since it's first build, right up to current build 17.
Ben will give the delegates a interactive hands-on demonstration of how to set up the cameras correctly, they learn about the lens's and accessories available that can enhance the camera and actually use the cameras to shoot footage. During the afternoon they are taught about the storage, data transfer and backup of their footage.
The second day is hosted by Jonathan Eric Tyrrell who has an MA in Film and Television studies and is an Apple Master trainer. He has trained extensively around the world on Final Cut Pro and worked as an editor and colourist on many films and productions. Having dealt with footage from Red cameras he is well aware of how to get the best results and get round some of the key issues involved.
Ted Schilowitz of RED says, "I am very excited by the RED training courses and seminars that Sequence Training are doing here in Pinewood, they sound amazing and I look forward to working closely with them in the future."
