Today as part of our continuing set of Red shoots for the fxphd - we took to the air. We rigged the Red so we could fly and film freestyle out the side of chopper - as you can see in the photo, I just had the Red One on my shoulder. We figured this would be a good test for the new RED drive. The vibration, wind and dust of the Alice as seen from the air should put any portable hard drive to the test and that was very true today. Thankfully my shoulder had improved enough from the end of last year that I could operate. This area around Alice Springs is so amazing - dramatic and timeless and it was pure joy to photography it from the air today.
We have more shoots planned - wildlife, highspeed and also some plate photography work to allow some insanely cool classes next term. Footage from today will be available as both image sequences and .r3d files to fxphd members.
Mike - Hot and happy in the Northern Territory !
