Onyx Cinema’s Michael Shu, Anthony Vu and Georgia Yeh bring their new Scarlet-X onto the Ontario Airport Air Field to film a 727 in action.
It was a super windy day with our lips flapping outside, but we had loads of fun. The Scarlet-X is able to give the power of the Red cameras in smaller, confined spaces like the cockpit.
We took advantage of the EF mount Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 and the 50mm f/1.4. Footage soon to be featured in our next addition to our “Works” section!
Our RED representative called us saying that our SCARLET-X was ready for pick up. We were so excited, we brought the kids and an HMC150 with us to film the unboxing at RED in Irvine.
As the employees were walking into the lobby to go home for the day, we were greeted with smiles and congratulations. It was a great feeling.
Thanks to the folks at RED!

Every 15 Minutes, someone dies from an alcohol related vehicle collision.
Our very own Anthony Vu and Charlice Lin capture the events of a car crash recreation as it happens. This was on the “set” of La Mirada’s “Every 15 Minutes” shoot.
I smile every time I see this photo. Especially Anthony’s hardcore concentrating stare instead of his usually endless smiling.
