We need to cut down our script - it's just too long. So it's time for a red pen and some ruthless cutting.
Over the next few weeks we'll be sharing progress on our project to compare the RED KOMODO, RED DSMC2 MONSTRO 8K, and RED RANGER GEMINI 5K to, well, each other. And we'll be sharing insights into the post production process with both RED and LaCie - demystifying how it all really works. Spoiler alert: post production with RED is a lot easier that you might think.

In Q1 2021, factors such as increasing demand for consumer electronics contributed to causing a global shortage in the supply of components. This is part of a megatrend seeing COVID-19 producing distortions in the dynamics of supply and demand in different markets, which, according to analysts, may ultimately lead to inflationary pressures. In the case of consumer electronics, the move to remote working and the concurrent disruptions in global supply chains caused by COVID-19 may have produced an imbalance between demand and supply. Other areas such as labor markets are experiencing a similar trend - i.e., demand outstripping supply - due to factors such as unprecedented fiscal spending by governments. IABM conducted a poll on component shortages in April 2021 to measure the impact of this megatrend on the media technology industry. The poll's findings show that this is a serious issue for most media technology suppliers, and it is a global problem. Anecdotal research carried out by IABM highlighted that this is not a temporary situation but rather a structural shock that may have prolonged effects. PC manufacturers such as Dell, HP, and Lenovo highlighted this situation in their recent investor calls, pointing to record demand for consumer electronics as the main driver for this and warning about price increases as well as shipping delays due to component shortages.

Foam CNC machining is a type of cutting technology that can be used to cut foam to meet exact specifications, making it ideal for cutting custom foam inserts. The foam inserts used in protective packaging are essential to ensure the safety of its contents. To create the empty spaces for the product to lay in, precise machinery cuts away the excess material from a solid block of foam, leaving behind negative spaces.
Different foam types will serve the exact needs of supporting different products, but precise cutting is always necessary for a product that is properly protected and displayed in a professional manner.

At CP Cases we supply specialist protective gear across a huge range of industries, and the one thing that they all have in common is that they use highly specialised, sensitive and fragile equipment. From the medical and defence sectors to the broadcasting industry, only the most precisely designed and robustly constructed protection can ensure the consistent high performance of equipment in all settings.
However, the valuable and fragile nature of this equipment means that moving it around the world becomes a major logistical challenge. Here we explain exactly what you need to know and consider when shipping high-value equipment across the globe.

With camera bodies becoming smaller it's possible to shoot a cinema grade feature film in a run-and-gun indie style. Richard Warburton (Global Distribution) talked to director Steve Johnson about how he made his award-winning film, Convergence.
Steve is one of RED's few authorised trainers. He leaned on his skills and knowledge to work with the capabilities of his DSMC2, opting for a naturally lit approach.
