ORIGINAL MESSAGE:
Dear Fellow RedUsers,

As one of the first Red One owners in Japan I call out for your help.

Recently we have suffered an unprecedented disaster in Japan. A 9.0 earthquake, a Tsunami with waves that made entire towns disappear off the map, and now just north of Tokyo an unprecedented nuclear situation.

Even this has effected me as part of my extended Japanese family has become refugees from the nuclear crisis. I also worked in the northern towns in Iwate. Many of these towns I worked in for the first 3/4 months of my marriage no longer exist and have been wiped off the map, and the friends I made there are most likely no longer with us. We simply don't know yet.

There are hundreds of thousands homeless right now, in the freezing northern climates and we are all doing the best job right now to help them In material ways.

But as much as material needs Japan needs to hear a message from the world that we are not alone. That the world is thinking about us. All the victims, the tireless aid workers from japan and around the world risking their lives and all the cold and hungry refugees looking for new homes are being thought of.

I have started with a few friends a "message movie for japan" project on Facebook whereby people from all around the world can send their short messages of support.

We also have a twitter and our webpage is wearewithyoujapan.org which shall be up in a day or two.

Wherever you are around the world, as fellow red users, epic users and scarlet users, I would be extremely grateful to whoever can spare the time to record a short 30 second message of support, encouragement or anything of that nature on their Reds, Epics in whatever interesting and unique locations you happen to be at at the moment.

If any of you have access to well known people as well who would be interested in helping please OM me.

I will post here the details and instructions of what/how/where to send soon.

Just wanted to test the waters with a show of hands.

Many thanks

Ivan

Don't have a red available, but other cameras that I can shoot with and I think the people of Japan would not care very much what camera it was shot on.. Hell, I think making this idea go viral with hundreds or thousands of people using their webcam might get a bunch of great messages of support for the people of Japan.

I've already donated money, and my dad will likely send medical supplies from his office as he does during all natural disasters.... unfortunately, with the nuclear situation I think its keeping some of the people who usually volunteer away. I'm sure there will be a influx of volunteers as soon as Japan and other world governments say that the nuclear situation is no longer of concern. Hopefully that will be soon so that people are not afraid to go help.

Please post the information on how to make such a video and I will be happy to provide one.
 
Thankyou!!!

I would love to receive your video! And yes, on any camera is fine, even your cellphone! I figured on the redforums people would have more access to reds is all. Yes we are trying to make this go viral. We will also edit a wonderful montage short movie out of all the messages!

And thankyou for your support!

I will edit my my post with all relevant details one I get back home. On the road now!
 
Ivan "message movie for japan"is a sweet intention.
If it can help me to stop crying when I watch the news!
I'll be glad to send you a movie message from Tuscany.
Let us know what the procedure is.
Cheers
