  • 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 :)

Big Change...

Someone buying a RED is not newsworthy because it's a common event. Common events are not newsworthy. It's only newsworthy to hear of someone dropping "how much?" on a F35 because it's such a rare and un-common event. Make of that what you will.

Did you really just put those two concepts in one sentence? :-)

Haha. Oh jeez, your right buddy. I totally butchered that sentence, you guys are gonna shun me. I went back to my ol' shortstop days (1 year ago, gave that up deff). But what I was referring to was how I'm excited to go to Full Sail, NCSA, or USC to get a degree in film and hit the Film Making Industry with everything I have.

ps. If I sound like a total clueless little kid I'm sorry, but I'm 15, and I don't know what I don't know about the film industry. :help:

Get a MAC dude. Or wait patiently, you are lucky they are working on PC SUPPORT AT ALL. You should be thanking your lucky stars they even care about PC users like you, I sure dont!

Thank God all applications run on the Mac... oh no wait.. that's your fantasy land I was thinking about.

Our studio is 15 servers, 6 workstations, 3 laptops and a macbook. We aren't going to switch out our render farm because you like pretty aluminum cases.

Half of our software has no mac version.

Most Avid systems are PCs. Most grading applications are hard iron or PC. Most renderfarms are linux.

Look at the behind the scenes photos on this page: http://www.fxguide.com/article509.html

Those aren't macbooks hooked up to the Codex boxes.

PC video card selection and quality is still higher than OSX's selection and quality.

There is the world where you shoot your own projects on your own camera and edit on your own computer and control every step of the process. And then there is the rest of the world. 90% of PCs run Windows. If anything OSX should be thankful it has gotten any attention.

Yesyesyes I know I'm off topic...then what again is there that is on topic to a vague indeterminate statement ;).
 
I'm thinking with the release of the i7 by intel and the CS4 Red plugin from adobe, soon the Mac will be moot, even for the small potatos guys.

Your right, but I live in West Virginia (please no jokes) and it's not very technology oriented. But at the same time, I usually don't have that many hours on the actual wedding day itself, but I do also do half the editing. I figure that I get around $18 an hour. That beats anything any of my classmates are doing. I love what i'm doing and I'm not having to flip burgers. But yes, I admit I'm not making a large amount in the big scheme of things, but for a kid in high school, you cant beat it. I deff plan on getting away from weddings when I get out of high school tho!! Can't wait to go to film school and get into the big leagues!

No need to justify what you are doing. The point is you are doing it, at a young age, and this will pay dividends later in life. In high school I didn't get paid to do video work. I volunteered. It worked out okay. But you're actually out there making some money, learning, and building a nice foundation for your future. That's commendable. Keep doing what you are doing.

Well it won't be Moot. My point is that the Mac is not sacrosanct. And Windows *shock and gasp* is an excellent platform to work on. It's also *more* popular. Red footage needs to be able to go where it's needed. Which is why a *cross platform* approach is so important.

One day it might be needed at a shake facility running mostly linux. The next an avid facility on windows. The next a Nuke facility running Windows.

The footage should accomodate the system not the system to the footage.

Definitely the path of least resistance.

Certainly.

At a not too distant point. It becomes less expensive for a studio to fund a full time developer to work on Redcine than buying 30 macs.

Multiply that across the industry and it's a bargain to have PC or linux compatible software.

Then again 9 mothers can't make a baby in 1 month. Which I assume is the RED bottleneck.

haha thanks buddy, that means a lot. I don't mind getting paid, like im not hesitant to take anyones money, haha, and I really almost have to to filter down who I do work for. Although, when someone hands me money all I see in the bills is a Scarlet, new Mac pro, etc. I love that I'm getting the experience.

I may not completely understand the whole workflow incorporated with RED, but I look at purchasing the Scarlet as a way to learn a TON about cameras, editing footage of that quality, and just about the film industry in general.

Dang, I want my Scarlet already. Oh no! I'm becoming another obsessed RED fan who is going to be on here 24/7 begging for the camera to be released sooner. hahahah.

I suppose that makes the tension between the sides at the wedding much less prominent than usual... after all, they were already family *ducks*

I'm sorry. I just couldn't help myself :innocent:

Friends,
I am 22 (Not the youngest, not the oldest) and am not planning on purchasing a Scarlet right away. I plan on renting them for the situations that call for them. It will be an amazing tool, no doubt. However, like all technology, it is just that... A Tool. WE tell the story... not the CMOS Sensor (no matter how cool it is...) :)
Thank you Jim and Crew for making an amazing tool for the Filmmaker in all of us. I hope we can create and tell some amazing stories together... :)

Big Change = new CMOS chips tell the story and we're the tool :)

I guess you are right. No one has had any luck whatsoever shooting RED and getting great images...

that is not the point jim. red one makes great images. but changing the subject does not change the fact that red owners are still working with a 1/2 finished camera. the article has a point and you know it.

furthermore by allowing personal attacks on those who suggest the slightest hint of criticism here, you encourage the perception that redusers are arrogant and unprofessional. for someone so brand smart i am surprised that you do not discourage this behavior on the forum. it must be embarrassing for the pros that do live here.

This "pro video coalition" article is such bullshit. This guy is such a douche. I'm sorry to flame and curse on this board, but FUCK this.

ad hominem much? people sometimes react with personal attacks when they do not have a cogent argument of their own.

Red One with all the latest (FREE!!!) upgrades - both HW & SW - is as finished as it gets. we know it will keep getting better, but the camera was production-ready for me since Build 17. Have You ever used this camera at all?

Also - questioning Jim's professionalism, while You are hiding behind an anonymous user name, is really "professional"...

Just my two cents...
