Twenty398

Jay A. Kelley produced (and stars in *the red 101 dvd – it’s quite comprehensive and a good starting point if you like an audio / visual way of learning. *Jay is a super early red one adopter that works with his camera professionally on a regular basis, He really knows the gear and how to use it.

It’s not meant to be a learning tool for those already well versed in the camera (although it’s a good refresher for those like me that work with the camera in some fashion almost every day) It’s well designed and executed to give you the run down of the camera, its functionality, the menu structure etc. * It covers how to set up projects and use the internal tools of the red one to expose the camera, set up the camera for various styles of shooting for different types of projects and deliverables and a number of other needed areas of learning to be ready to get great results from your red one shooting.

The dvd covers quite a lot of info, and Jay is on camera talking to you for a lot of the video – His homespun style is fun and enjoyable, it’s not a a flat, boring instructional dvd – he’s got lots of his personality weaved in there. *I would recommend taking watching it in small to medium sized chunks, and not watching it all in one sitting, while having the red one operations manual as a reference point to review each section that’s covered (a free download here: *http://www.red.com/support)

Jay covers the red pretty much from all angles to get you primed and ready to shoot, and a bunch of 3rd party gear as well. *Note that red did not have a hand in producing this, so there are some things in his video we may not totally agree with (different opinions on certain things is what makes life interesting), but overall I wouldn’t recommend it if if didn’t do a good job handling the material and covering what is needed to make the right choices when jumping into red, which it does very well.
