CURRICULUM
It is important to note that REDucation is the RED approved and sanctioned education for learning RED. While the popularity of the camera and the 1000's of RED jobs and massive industry adoption of the RED have created a lot of entities teaching RED in some fashion - none have been authorized by RED as the best practices that we believe should be taught. REDucation is what RED believes is the best way to learn the RED camera and RED post production techniques.
