Chesapeake Systems, Butler Film, AJA Video and Apple Computer would like to thank all attendees who were able to make it to the Red Camera event we held at the AFI Silver Theater in October. Turnout was great, and attendees were able to glean many facts pertaining to the Red One’s production and post-production workflow. David Butler was able to show off on the big screen a good amount of Red footage (downconverted by the AJA Kona 3 to HD for playout purposes), including particularly compelling comparison shots of 35mm film scans and Red One “Redcode” footage of nearly identical shots.

In the days following the event, AJA released a more official whitepaper regarding the workflow options for Red One footage when being used in conjunction with the Kona 3 hardware. That document is available here:

A special thanks to Julie Hill and Josh Boehr of AFI, and also Tina Kalakay for putting so much effort into making the evening a great success.

On October 16th from 7pm to 9pm at the AFI Silver Theater in Silver Spring, MD Chesapeake Systems, Butler Film, AJA and Apple will be hosting an event entitled The Red Camera - from Lens to Screen and Everything In-Between. This event will feature what has become the most talked-about digital cinema/video camera in recent years, the Red One by Red Digital Cinema. David Butler has been using this camera for a while now, as his company was one of the first in the region to acquire the Red One.
