NAB Dates Announced For Training, Mysterium X and Epic Exploration

February 25, 2010 (Burbank, CA)    REDucation, the popular, immersive RED sanctioned training for RED cameras, has unveiled dates for a class in Las Vegas, scheduled for April 8th -12th, 2010, at the Tropicana.  The five-day REDucation Las Vegas will run just prior to, and during, the NAB Show in Las Vegas.  REDucation Las Vegas will be limited to the first 200 registered students.

REDucation Las Vegas will be one of the most ambitious and aggressive trainings to date, with new products, key RED experts, and plenty of gear on hand. Rolled out last summer, REDucation has been successfully packing sessions with students from around the country and around the globe who seek the latest information.

REDTech and REDPost will now be delivered in an end-to-end continuum over the course of five highly focused days.  The course, combining the two sessions into one in-depth, hands-on immersive week, covers pre-production through post production.  With production and post so intertwined in the RED product line, the streamlining is a logical progression.

Michael Cioni, who will lead REDucation along with other expert instructors in Las Vegas, noted that, “REDucation stands at the edge of an important moment; at the very center of a brand new understanding and application of color science that embraces new exposure techniques, new software, new hardware, and the new MX sensor.  These changes are a pivotal part of the next generation of photography.  REDucation puts you in front of these changes.  In addition to highlighting the Epic sensor, REDucation will focus on foundational information for DSMP (digital still motion photography) and its application in image gathering from here on. “  

Kristin Petrovich-Kennedy is President of Createasphere, Founding Member and operational arm for REDucation.  “We expect a vibrant and creative gathering of students for the Las Vegas class and we’ve designed this session to make sure that the size is powerful plus, rather than a downside.  There will be dozens of cameras, plenty of TA’s, more than adequate gear, in a great venue. The proximity to NAB, according to Petrovich-Kennedy, is a unique opportunity for REDucation students.  “By positioning REDucation adjacent to NAB, students can add a week to their trip and get REDucation and one of the most extensive trade shows in our industry.  The international and our US-based students are able to maximize their time and exposure to the latest industry developments.”  NAB runs from April 10th - 15th, 2010.

REDucation kicked off last summer and has consistently garnered high praise.  Past graduates of the program have commented, “I have heard the talk, and after REDucation I can definitely walk the (Kim Meffert, Red Owner).  “My brain melted, and I loved it!” (James Armstrong, Director) and "I got all of my hard to answer questions, answered” (Curtis Abbott, 1st A/C, DIT).

Ted Schilowitz from RED Digital Cinema, who participates on a part-time basis in teaching REDucation between his other regular work at RED, commented that, “RED Digital Cinema is pleased that the initial concept for REDucation has blossomed into the go to, focused learning environment for gaining a solid working knowledge of the RED ONE camera production techniques and recommended post production workflow pathways.  It's really rewarding to see REDucation go from the concept phase last year to the state where it is now; filled with students from all over the world who have gone through the course and come away with the skills they needed to handle a RED shoot and RED post effectively.  This next class in Las Vegas in April should continue that plan with the top notch industry expertise leading the classes and the focus on hands on learning."

REDucation consistently sells out, so early registration is encouraged due to the significant demand for the session.  REDucation Las Vegas will be held at the Tropicana Hotel & Conference Center in Las Vegas, Nevada from April 8th, through 12th, 2010.  For further information or registration, call 818.842.6611 or visit reducation.net.
