I'm sorry, I'd take the ugly purple building and paint it RED before sitting in a crazy hunters blind on Venice... and by the way, I road my bike past this for 7 years.... best 18 mile ride in California up and down the beaches of So Cal.
 
Kyle, you just joined and then your very first post is inquiring about the manufacturing methods and location. Do you work for a camera company?
 
If he never posts anything again we know that he is working for a rival.

I think questions about manufacturing are legitimate concerns. If you run a business, you would want to have some confidence that your equipment comes from a stable source with good quality assurance and support. This is more important if you're a big business and you're going to buy lots of equipment. Red is new to the video field and they don't have any manufacturing track record. So I think it's normal for people to have some concerns.

Having said that, I think Jim has every right to keep any information proprietary. Of course, when the camera comes out, these concerns may be dispelled, but until then, customers can weigh the risks and vote with their wallets.
 
RED and Oakley are different companies, but they share the same founder and chairman. If anyone takes the time to investigate Jim Jannard they'll find that he has a record of being meticulous in demanding quality in the products of his companies, and delivering on what he says he is going to do. Oakley is a multi-billion dollar international company that is publicly traded - and their business is optics. Jannard has stated that he wants RED to be the best digital cinema camera company in the world. He wanted Oakley to be the best sunglass company in the world, and I believe he has met that goal. Based on Jannard's past business performance and ability to get quality products manufactured I don't see the "How Will it be Manufactured" question of this thread as being an issue of "Will it be good quality?", or "Can they do it?", but rather issues of curiosity. To me, its not an issue of "Can they do it?", but rather an issue of "When can I get my hands on it?".

I personally know RED will deliver on what they have projected. I'm merely anxious to get the tools in my hands and plug them into my production calender for 2007.

I was just curious. I have been following red developement at DVXuser and lurked here for a couple weeks. That was a dubious first post I suppose. No, I don't work for a rival. I work for a newspaper.

Jim's definitely wise to keep a tight lid on manufacturing locations. The other boys find that out, it's small beer to approach a assembly line monkey with some cash and get yourself all sorts of interesting hunks of gadgetry. Then, it's off to China!

Will there be a RED factory, or will different parts be bidded out and assembled at headquarters? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I just wanted to know. Thanks...

I think they're booking the Keebler elves for a six month period.
 
To whom it may concern:

This is seemingly a taboo subject. Maybe time to lock it down people.
