Our main service is supplying the RED ONE Camera and all the required expertise to get the best out of it. This revolutionary, state of the art, cine styled  camera, which has been used by Peter Jackson and Stephen Soderberg, shoots in Ultra High Definition e.g. 4096 x 2304 for the burgeoning digital cinema market.
We have several packages to suit different pockets and purposes - a typical configuration is pictured above. We supply a very personalised service, often to people who are putting their own money into the project, and who are passionate and committed in the same way that we are.
 
We understand the Indie film making mentality because we have produced and self financed 5 feature length documentaries including: concept, script writing, production planning, principal photography, editing, grading and mastering to DVD.The most successful of these was the multi-award winning 'Between Creation and Destruction'. See the 'Online Services' link for more information.
 
We have also worked on music promos for: Vic Tizzle, Dakota, Dot Star, and rock legends AC/DC; 2 short films called 'Retreat' and "Too Much Information", an art installation in Hong Kong, a Corporate Video for Best Year Yet in the USA, a classical concert, a promo for the Olympic games, and a lot of 'Stock Footage' since acquiring our RED in June 2008.
 
In addition we can provide a full, bespoke, creative process for your project including the following:   

Colour Grading in RED Alert

Terms and Conditions:

Our rate for all the kit listed on this page, including a DIT is £400/10 hour day not including VAT. That includes delivery and pick up of our kit within 30 miles of London. In general our DIT has to be with the camera at all times because that is part of our insurance.

If we have not worked with you in the past and you want to dry hire the equipment then you will have to supply: Insurance, References, CC details, a deposit and demonstrable knowledge of the RED ONE.

In any event we would like you to provide 'Hired in equipment insurance' to a value of £25,000 for the day. You may already have this cover on your existing policy. If you can't do this please let us know and we can make the arrangements; though we'd then have to ask for another £80.00

If you wanted to go hand held the RED 18-50mm lens is a good option at £50/day +VAT.

If you are finishing in HD1080 you can double the range of the lens by shooting in 2K instead of 4K - think of that as a digital zoom.

We do not transfer footage from our media to your media until we have been paid. We prefer that you pay a deposit of £200 once you are sure the project is going ahead and then pay the rest either on the day or very soon after. The £200 is fully refunded in the case that disaster strikes before we set off for the shoot.

We do not hand our RED drives over to you; but transfer the footage from our media to yours, so if you want that done, as we go, on the day, we'll need paying first. Some people give us their drives on the day, we do the transfer the next day and check that everything is OK, they pay up and we deliver their drives back to them. There is no charge for that service.

We generally keep a back-up for you, on our drives, until you have finished your project.

We are very happy for you to operate our RED, it's a really nice rig. If you would like to come to our place near High Wycombe and 'try before you buy' we'll be happy to arrange that for you. It can help if you go through the shoot with the DIT/DP/Cam OP first - just in case there are any wrinkles that need ironing out. There is no charge for this.

We do hope that all of the above makes sense and is acceptable, but please let us know if anything is unclear.
