Not one, but six RED One cameras were used to shoot some scenes from an upcoming 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics NBC promo tie-in to the hit show, “Chuck”.
From one of the 1st AC’s, Mako:
“We had a 4 AM call in the Frazier Park area to get the six RED Ones in position onto the Insert Trailer so that we could start shooting around 7 am. We were able to shoot six scripts with three actors and finish it all by 3 PM … including our lunch break. The Director of Photography was Manny Vouniozos, camera operator was Matt Petrosky … most of the cameras were locked off. The 1st AC’s were Pergrin Jung, Dennis Lynch, Mako Koiwai, Rob Sagaser, Carlos De Verona and Tracy Viera. The 2nd AC was Scott Stephens. DMT’s were Brandon McKenzie and Josh Fuss. Joseph Lee directed for the production company, Moving Pictures.
Here is a shot of our happy DP as the shoot hums along. Nice to not have any camera gear issues when time is of the essence!”
