  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

For $3K...

Walgreen's

Walgreen's

I agree. As spec'd they could sell it at the checkout stand at Walgreen's as a "disposable cinema film camera" for $2,999.95 and design it to "self-destruct in 90 days" and they'd still sell the heck out of it. :)

An imagine how many disposable motion pictures that would result in... :waaa:
 
The only thing worse than the whiners are the self-righteous people who start threads to put down others in an effort to make themselves look/feel better... :tongue:
 
$3,000 would also be a very helpful (not to mention tax-deductible) donation to any needy charity if you're looking just to throw your money away brother... :alien:

Speaking of which, Best Buy has a 1080p camcorder blister-packed, hanging on the rack, for $169. Aiptek. I knew Aiptek had the original 720p version, but this was 1080/30P @ 1440x1080, and the comical thing was that it was hanging on a peg in a blister pack, like it was a commodity, like SD cards or headphones or something.

It was surreal.

They have a RED version. <--(link)
 
Again with the same topic. This has been discussed to death since the Scarlet announcement, a little longer than 15 days ago. Check out the old threads and don't talk about the same thing again. Please guys change the subject to something more productive.
 
We did change it to something more productive. Now, we're chomping at the bit for Aiptek cameras. :watsup:
 
I believe that Red reads the posts in here, but as they said, it's not a democracy. What we do is discussing freely about what we might need, what our opinions are etc. and from the work they did on Red One, we know that they listen to the community.

So, I don't mind the camera being exactly what was announced and that nothing in here changes anything, but why have a Scarlet forum if it's not for discussing the camera?

Productive or not, we do love it and that's why we are talking so much about it. :)
 
If people like discussing the same subject over and over then is ok. But how many times can you talk about the same thing. Request the same changes or additions. As I said before Red is going to hear from the top guys out there not from all of us asking for this or that change. As any company does, they do their research from the top.
Some of us should get at least an HV20 and go out and do some actual shooting for a while.

Jim and the gang will be listening to those of use who are going to be buying Scarlet. And that includes people at the top, middle, and bottom of the industry. That said, Jim's pointed out that this isn't a democracy, that everyone doesn't get an equal vote on what Scarlet's features and specs will be. He wants this forum to be a venue for respectful discussion. Speculation on specifications is all we have right now, and it's going to be that way for months to come. Please don't take offense, but if the forum bores you, then perhaps you should just go and shoot for a while.

By the way, I've only been in the business for 20 years, so I place myself in the middle re knowledge and expertise.

(and I'll be buying a Scarlet)

:wink:
HEY JIM! Are you reading this?!?
 
I hear ya, Millrick. I've been doing video production for a living since 1987 and I plan to own a Scarlet also.

I've been in the business 32 years and getting a Scarlet too! The only thing I am not doing is asking for any changes because I am not the owner of Red. Jim said it; if you want a camera your way start a camera company.
The fact is it is pointless to discuss the same topics that have been discussed in 20 other threads, that’s all. Come up with something fresh, creative, PRODUCTIVE.
 
I think you're addressing the wrong peeps in this thread, John.
 
I’m sorry, I guess the speculating thing is driving me cuckoo. :help: :bye2:
