An exciting, "must-attend" continuing education RED Technology Workshop and Networking Event in New York City. An in-depth, practical, and interactive exploration of the RED technology workflow with demonstrations of a RED ONE camera system, this continuing education workshop will begin with a case study of "Shooting P2 in a remote environment" with example footage from the documentary, "Strong Bodies Fight." We will then deeply explore the RED ONE camera system, which is notably referred to as NOT a video camera. We will discuss the RED theory and philosophy as a camera system, and explore the design, menus, and workflow. The workshop will feature an interactive segment where the RED ONE camera body will be taken out of the box, and steps on "how to build the RED ONE camera" will be demonstrated. We will end the day with a demonstration of a RED ONE camera and Q&A.

• Understanding basic 3 point lighting. We will use small lighting units including softlights, fresnel (lensed) lights and open face lights.
• Hard light and soft light - what are the benefits and problems of each type. We will change a hard light into a soft light.
• When to use fresnel lights and when to use open face lights.
• How to cut lights with barndoors, flags and nets - Using the barndoors of a lamp is not as simple as it may seem to control the light - especially if the light is diffused. Placement of the net or flag is also important in controlling the light.
• Where to place the key light to help achieve the desired look
• The ratio of the key to fill
• How to make a background more interesting
• If time permits - the use of color
