This is by no means a definitive manual on how to post RED footage. Rather, this is how I managed to work with R3D footage while creating a spec spot using the RED. Your mileage may vary. I expect to be flamed repeatedly regarding my handling of this shoot’s post process, but from the ashes I hope to extract some knowledge as to how to do it all better next time.
We did not record any sound on the shoot, so that part of the post process is not addressed. Yay!
