Rocky Mountain 4K offers the new Red One Digital Cinema camera for Colorado, New Mexico, across the Rocky Mountains and beyond. We've got the experience and resources to make the Red work for you — giving your production a real 35mm look and feel.

RM4K™ can provide a Red package alone, supply a DIT and computer gear, and even put together a full - and fully expienced - camera crew. Take what you need.

There's a lot of information out there about the Red. Some of it is actually true. RM4K would like to help you understand the Red and how it can work within your specific project and within your budget.

We'll try to answer some of the most basic questions here, but we urge you to contact us to discuss your needs. We've got a handle on everything from pre-production all they way along the workflow to post.

Higher Than High Definition HD Video

While High Definition video (HD video) is quickly replacing Standard Def, 4K cameras offer over four times the amount of information (resolution) of even the highest HD standard (see the illustration on the Why Red page for a comparison). This gives producers a huge amount of flexibility in finishing their projects: DVD, HD, even film finish — including the option of reusing the original footage to output to other formats.

The Digital Cinema Standard

Digital projection is here and it's going to take over the theater. No more splices, scratches or those funny little round holes at the end of the reel. Most existing digital theaters use the 2K format, but the newer ones will be 4K. The Red One originates in 4K (with the option to shoot in 3K or 2K) and so is ready right now for the theaters of tomorrow. The really cool thing is that even if you choose "direct to DVD" right now, you can always go back to the original files and do a full scale "film out" when your movie hits it big.

Film and Video Production Crew

In addition to a bare camera rental RM4K can provide you with both this innovative camera and with the highly experienced crew that can make it work for your production.

If you already have a D.P. on board your production we can package the camera with a Red tech/DIT alone; otherwise we can support you with an experienced Director of Photography and image tech / Gaffer team. We can also help you find ACs and sound recordists who are experienced with the Red and with 35mm-style production.

Independent Feature Film Experience

Rocky Mountain 4K provides a full camera package and can come with either one or two experienced film professionals: D.P. / Cinematographer Rich Lerner and Gaffer / Red Technician Nelson Goforth. We've structured RM4K so that we can provide a integrated and cohesive team to lead the camera and lighting side of your film crew, or simply provide technical support for your own D.P.

Rich and Nelson each have over twenty years experience in film and video production in Colorado and around the world — more than a little of it working on very "indy" independent features. It's experience that can speed and enhance your production.

Ready to Travel: Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, Kansas, Nebraska, Utah and Worldwide

While RM4K is based in Denver, Colorado we're ready to travel the world - and have! Rich in particular has shot in locations both exotic and bleak worldwide. But we're especially convenient to Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, Kansas, Nebraska and Utah - all over the Rocky Mountain region and the Great Plains, in fact.
