Dear All,
Here we go again off to battle with another new camera never seen and will
not be seen till the first day of shooting this movie..
Armed with the Name, "RED" --- bringing to mind a dragon eating an entire
sound team...
Misinformation abound of software updates and functions, fabled, enabled,
disabled, never cabled connectors fused with the nostrils of a fire
breathing dragon in wait.
Tough times for finding a Dragon Slayer -
I found one in the Hollywood forest,
Slaughtering superstition and the myth surrounding "RED'S" In's and outs.
Today Robert Kennedy (Coffey Sound) physically confronted "RED". Sticking
lemo's, mini XLR's, tri-level sync boxes, Zaxcom stereo adapters, Fusion's,
Deva's, Sound Device's and all the rest. Into the body of the beast...
Robert created a summary of detailed, exact usable parameters and a work
flow for us to use. The Coffey Sound Tech department configured and tested
all the connectors for "RED" and with Robert, summarized the pin outs needed
for interfacing.
Make no doubt about it. The foremost expert on "RED" . "Dragon Slayer" --
Coffey Sound, "Robert Kennedy"...
Kudos and a public thank you to Robert, The Tech department and the guys
and girls at Coffey sound for removing fear and superstition, sleighing
another fire breathing dragon all from two thousand miles away...
Sincerely
Ron Scelza .
