The first post provided a brief introduction. This post will contrast the “boutique” production company model (which is essentially how I’ll be using Red) with the “break the bank” self-fundend filmmaker model of the past. The next will compare the “boutique” model with the owner-operator model. Then I’ll move into discussing higher budget usage of the camera.

I was looking to buy an HVX package, but budgeted out it was about 12,000 for everything I wanted. Then I noticed the Red banner on DVXuser.com, did a little research and decided to wait. As the pricing became evident it seemed to me to be a worthy risk for something that could put me in a different league in terms of options as a shooter. I could not afford a varicam package, let alone a HDX900, but I could just about squeeze out a red camera, some glass and other accessories. I have been shooting standard (DVX100) for a while, and the demand for HD has been exponential. I think the "boutique" term Chris refers to is in fact pretty applicable to my situattion. I will produce personal projects and shoot for my clients.</p> I am in the exact same boat as Clint. I was looking to buy an HVX package, but budgeted out it was about 12,000 for everything I wanted.

I'm a story teller and this camera will allow me to tell those stories better. I really hope that it will allow me to create media that I can sell... but if not then it will still be beautiful and I won't have paid out the cost of an average 2500 square foot house... just an entry level sports car.</p> <p>Maybe I'll be kicking myself when the 2009 Camaro convertible shows up but that is the story of Clint.</p> I’m getting Red One #351 because it will create beautiful images (if it doesn’t I’ll be taking that 110% refund) and because I can (barely) afford it.

Maybe I’ll be kicking myself when the 2009 Camaro convertible shows up but that is the story of Clint.
