I don’t want to pile on here, but I have to agree with the majority of takes on this article — it feels like sponsored content, and the arguments in the piece don’t stand up to scrutiny.

This is just anecdotal, but I see a lot of REDs on corporate video shoots. I run a video team at a large corporation, and while we shoot on C300ii’s, a lot of our sister teams in the company shoot RED.

Totally agreed. Being able to attract good cast and crew is a critical skill, and there’s no greater talent repellent than making people waste time because you’re a disorganized mess.

I’ve struggled mightily to build up this skill, but sometimes the best solution is partnering with someone who excels at this sort of organization. Let them work their magic and pay close attention to their methods :)

Good stuff, Kelly, thanks! I definitely fall into that trap of “gotta succeed on my own,” so it’s helpful to get these practical types of steps for finding people.

Glad to see another player in this category, especially since Lexar was shuttered by Micron...
