Shot on Red
Image quality and filmic atmosphere are very important to the feeling of this short film. For that reason, we will be shooting An Endgame on the Red.
Our Director of Photography has his own Red Epic, and I am thrilled to be working with him to make this short film look great.
The Red cameras have been great for bringing studio quality cameras to independent filmmaking.
David Fincher (Director of Se7en, Fight Club) and his Director of Photography, Jeff Cronenweth, shot The Social Network and Girl with the Dragon Tatoo with Red cameras (both were nominated for the Academy Award in Cinematography and look amazing).
Other standout's shot with Red cameras are Peter Jackson's The Hobbit trilogy, Neill Blomkamp's District 9, Debra Granik's Winter's Bone, Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby, and The Amazing Spider-man.
All this information, but what it boils down to is that this short will look amazing (working in tandem with our lighting team as the camera is only half of the picture, pun intended) and of "studio" quality. This will give us the best chance of impressing people to pass on the completed short film via internet, which will simultaneously help spread awareness and raise donations, and it will also give us a better chance of achieving a lasting impression on the festival circuit.

The Red cameras have been great for bringing studio quality cameras to independent filmmaking.
Steven Soderberg (Director of Traffic, Erin Brockovich, Ocean's Eleven) stated that the Red is "the camera I've been waiting for my whole career: jaw-dropping imagery recorded on board a camera light enough to hold with one hand. I don't know how Jim and the Red team did it—and they won't tell me—but I know this: Red is going to change everything." (Please excuse me for not changing the pronouns here.)
