I did it. I put down an order and made the downpayment for a Red One and all the accessories and lenses available from Red. And now I even have an idea for the story for my first film. It's going to be about how I nearly died from the beating my wife gave me when she found out that I spent $70K one my first camera as a complete film noob!

I need a whiskey...

I have my wife to thank for pushing me to make the reservation when I did. I was sitting there, hours before the reservations closed, thinking, "It's not the $1000 now, it's the $XXXXXX down the line that worries me." But she made me do it, and I'm so glad she did.
 
You remember Glenn Close in "Fatal Attraction"? You better start running.
 
I hope you didn't blindly reserve everything! Why would you need the raw port? That's like $5k and hardly anyone could make use of that. Then if you got the premium production pack you wouldn't need the basic. Then if you were getting the Red Zoom then you wouldn't want the Canon FD or Nikon or B4 mounts (there's another $5k)....
 
I don't understand why you guys allow to be terrorized by your wives?
Be a man! A man needs what he needs! Whatever it is...

True. True. They have their shoes and clothes and jewelry. Can't we have atleast RED?

I mean it's not that we crave for the latest camera that we see in magazines the way they crave for the latest Victoria's Secret lingerie..what?..we do...? Whatever..I want my RED and I want one now!!
 
don´t forget, the story makes the movie.
I saw lot´s of "small" indie features the last time - done in berlin, barcelona .. - a cool young story, a good and sexy actress, a small DV / HDV set and you are done :)
Once you get this new, fresh and crisp look the h´wood standard suddenly looks a bit oldfashioned.

It may much better to rent the things you really need for your project and save lots of money for the really important things - TIME, light, mask, good actors, and don´t forget - good catering for good vibes .. ;)

@kalone - any Idea what they charge in berlin for a red setup ? Is something available there ? Ludwig munich announces here November 2007.

I remember at the beginning of my music career there came a point where I had to choose between my then fiancée and going on the road with my band for the entire summer. Guess who I chose. Let me just say that many so called "fiancées" have come and gone and my music career is still rocking. Today, if I had to choose between the RED One and my girlfriend , I'd be like "Peace,baby, and don't let the door hit cha where the lord sho' nuff split cha!!!
 
Jack, like I said in your other thread, toys and boys go hand in hand. Now that you've taken that huge leap of faith, spend the time between now and the "landing" (hoping you do land on the ever elusive island of marital reciprocity and bliss as against the rocky, torny islet of divorce lawyers, divorce courts and one-suitcase-only on your way out.) developing a good alibi... you might just need it, or maybe not. Good luck with it, and I really mean that.

Hi Deepcode,
Laguun here in Berlin ordered two Reds. But they want to test their cams for a longer period, so, no, they didn't tell about rates now.

I'm also getting one, somewhere 2008, but I don't have a rental company like Ludwig Kamera or Laguun.

Do you also do film projects, Deepcode?
