RED shot music video

I meant to pop this link up before leaving for NAB but oh well….

This Josh Gracin music video (former American Idol contestant) was the first big RED camera job that I have seen through from pre-production all the way through to final finishing. It was a very quick turn-around with a tight delivery deadline so the plan was to edit with ProResHQ Quicktime files generated by the camera rental house DR&A and then be able to output them to tape for color grading if we couldn’t go back to the raw RED .R3D clips and pull DPX files. Thankfully we had the time to do just that. I bought a copy of Crimson Workflow and it worked very well to generate DPX files that were then conformed in our Quantel eQ using lists pulled from Final Cut Pro via Automatic Duck. The edit was color graded on our DaVinci 2K Plus and now it’s on the air! I love it when a plan comes together. Too bad You Tube quality sucks.
