Jim's Last Post - Send him off with some pictures of Red in action.

Battle-tested Red One MX in action in Kotka, Finland. "4K for $4K" certainly transformed my whole professional outlook as a filmmaker, literally overnight. A big tip of the hat!

From diving 100 ft below, off the coast of Fiji with my EPIC shooting 17 bull sharks
To shooting wildlife side-by-side with the Crown Prince of Dubai in Tanzania
From the beautiful land of NewZealand we know as Middle Earth
To the deserts of the UAE which has transformed into one of the most dazzling cities in the world we call Dubai

Thanks to Jim and Co for bridging the gap for me to have the most amazing job on the planet...all over the planet.

To Jim a huge thank you from the heart for creating the un create-able! so, so many thought.
Jarred and all at RED and RED Europe a big thank you and keep up the fantastic work.

Thanks Jim, RED gives me the ability to put the best camera system ever made in a backpack and carry it to locations that really deserve no less.
Scarlet>Epic-MX>Epic-Dragon, it's a gift to keep my system constantly improving within the same support infrastructure. Obsolescence Obsolete!
I'll be honest and say I wish you weren't retreating due to foolish criticism, but I respect you and your company immensely and wish you all the best :)
God Bless, Jeff Whitehurst

Thanks Jim for those amazing image making devices you've created and shared with us.

We will sadly be missing you on REDUser.

Hope you'll continue climbing on the path you followed...
and still have the energy to make even better and smaller REDCODE cameras for a few more decades;-)

As I said in Jim's original thread, as a young film student when the R1 was released, I was blown away at the quality of material you could capture with the Red1. Prior to the R1 my only option in school was to shoot 16mm, 720p, or 1080i. Rental house prices for cameras was far too high, and the high end HD cameras were unreachable for someone like me. I'd hate to see the industry today without RED. Thank you Jim for doing what no one else would and for always pushing the envelope. These are some images from my first ever short film, captured on the Red One with a RPZ 18-85mm. I look forward to many years of shooting RED.
