RED WEAPON 8K VV CAMERA? (In the Entertainment industry. Watch how an $80K RED Weapon 8K VV is made on This Factory Tour?)


Watch how an $80K RED Weapon 8K VV is made on This Factory Tour?


You've already seen what RED cameras can shoot. Now you can see how they're made.

On a production floor out in Southern California, some of the best digital cinema cameras are being manufactured to be sold to professional filmmakers with a $50,000 price tag attached. I'm talking, of course, about RED Digital Cinema's line of high-end shooters.

A black rugged box that costs $50,000, has an "8K" label, sometimes its called а "weapon," and it also shoots. What is it? A RED camera, of course. In this video, you will see the process of how these professional cinema cameras are manufactured.

"The Hobbit" trilogy, "Gone Girl," "Transformers," "Birdman," "Godzilla," and "The Great Gatsby" are just a few of the Hollywood movies shot on a RED camera. It is one of the obvious choices of pros when it comes to producing great visuals. It is always fascinating to take a peek behind the scenes not only on how movies are made, but how tools used in the production are made.

Although there are no explanations in the video, the visuals are pretty much self-explanatory. You can see the process starting from a blank piece of metal being machine-cut, assembling the circuitry, placing it inside the black box, laser engraving the body of the camera, the production of the REDMAG SSDs, and the final packaging.

I've never had the pleasure of working with RED, but I'm looking forward to the time I'd be able to personally assess the craftsmanship of these precision devices.

While watching the video, I've wondered if they've shot it with a RED camera. Probably they did. These cameras were all over the place.

The company released a video earlier this month that takes you to its headquarters in Irvine, California to get a rare behind-the-scenes at its manufacturing process. It's a short video that runs less than 3 minutes and doesn't offer any explanation of or narration about what exactly is going on in the facilities, but still—you're watching some of the best, most expensive digital cameras being born, so who really cares?

It's quite a beautiful sight to behold—the artisanship, not the cameras. (Okay, the cameras, too.) As you can see in the video, RED offers a little peek at not only the Helium censor but at its new flagship camera, the $80,000 Weapon 8K VV with Monstro sensor.
