The camera is typically mounted to a baseplate and/or shoulder mount. I shoot a lot of behind-the-scenes and EPK footage on popular TV shows and features, and typically, when I see a camera like a RED WEAPON 6K being deployed, the fully rigged-out camera resembles something out of one of the Transformer films.

How would a $50,000 RED camera perform on a minimally crewed, run-and-gun-style documentary shoot? A small-crew promo video shoot for an NPR station? We all know that Hollywood often chooses RED cameras, especially for mainstream blockbuster films, but what about using a state-of-the-art (more about this later) RED WEAPON 6K camera on shoots that are decidedly much smaller in scale with a minimal crew? RED cameras have been used on a considerable amount of documentaries, as well as narrative features. All you have to do is check out RED’s “Shot on RED” page and you’ll see that RED cameras have been and continue to be the camera of choice on a tremendous number of A-list features. 2, Transformers: The Last Knight and Logan Lucky.

It seems as if I’m in good company, with an impressive number of recent and upcoming film and TV projects being shot with RED cameras, as well-you know, productions like Stranger Things 2, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. I’ve always been impressed with the RED cinema cameras.
