Conveniently, on the same day as the Red 4K screening in LA, ASC and the Hollywood local SMPTE will be showing some tests of their own in LA as well:

How Many Ways Can You Count Your K's?

7:30 p.m. at the Linwood Dunn Theater, 1313 N. Vine, on November 14th.

"This joint meeting of the ASC and Hollywood section of the SMPTE will project tests on film and 2K comparing images captured on film, Arri D20, Viper, Sony F950, and Dalsa. Speakers include Daryn Okada, ASC President; Howard Lukk, Walt Disney Studios; Richard P. May, Film Technology; and Siegfried Heep, Modern VideoFilm. Film from "The Other Project" will be shown at DCI spec. Cameras will be on display in the lobby during the social hour (6:30-7:30 p.m.) with refreshments sponsored by Kodak. All industry members are invited to attend at no cost. SMPTE membership is encouraged but not required."

...so I'll be there (yeah, I'm flying out now that I have 2 things to check out).

Speaking of which, if you'd like to get together for some one on one consulting, I still have some time free on November 15th while I'm still in LA (I fly out late afternoon).
