RED CAMERA WORKSHOP WITH CHRIS ARMSTRONG
Thursday September 25th at 1pm, VENUE 4
The RED One Camera is one of the hottest digital cinema cameras to come on the market. With its ability to shoot 4K images that
rival the quality of 35mm film, and its expansive options and modularity on set and in post-production the RED One Camera has become a highly sought after and at times complex piece of equipment.
This workshop will walk you through the setup, shooting, and post-production of a
RED One Camera and it's footage, helping you to understand how to get the most out of the camera on set, and in the editing bay.
