  • 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 :)

RED101 DVD Now Shipping!

Great idea. Sounds like a DVD worth purchasing. I was wondering if there are any plans on offering the DVD as a download? Would save costs on your end (I guess) as well as our end (especially shipping) and make it available to watch from anywhere at any time.

Thanks for the effort of putting this thing together.

This is a FANTASTIC question. The answer should be "of course"... But here's the catch:

Our DVD is made in a "non-linear" fashion.. There are "buttons" all through-out the program that you can select using your remote. They jump you into other modules, and then back into the show you were in when it was finished.

This makes is a little tougher to offer as a download as I will need to create a flash file or something and with 3 hours of material, it will be quite large.

Nevetheless, a digital download is still something worth pursueing.

The only other idea I have, it to make a digital master of the DVD and allow you to burn your own.. But that has obvious problems :).

We'll work it out.. Might be a month or two, but we'll get it done.

RED101 DVD looks very cool!

Hi Jay-

Thanks for making this Training Video for RED(I just ordered it)! I've considered Renting the REDONE but figured I'd spend most of the time just trying to figure it out and not get much productive use out of it my first Rental. So this looks like a good way to get familiar with RED. I'm also planning to get a Scarlet when they become available-but in the meantime I think this is a good place to start learning how to go RED...!

ps:maybe this could be a start to more dvds(i'd be interested)...
 
Ryan,

You're the "first" official person who is interested in Renting that's bought this thing.. I am going to be very very very interested in your feedback on the Renter's module.

Please make sure you keep in contact with me. I'll let you know when I ship (Should be late next week)

If this one does well, we will be onto epc and scarlet also!

Jay-

Thanks for the reply. I will be in touch. I'm really excited to watch the dvd. I've felt like there really needed to be something like this out there...and now it's here...sweet!

Congratulations Jay! I bet it seems like it took years to get this far in the process. I look forward to receiving my copy (autographed of course!!!)

Eric's a ham... He came out for three days, and no matter which direction I aimed the camera... There he was...

I'M KIDDING! Eric and ARRI were INCREDIBLY supportive of this project.

Eric is a very forward thinking individual. Most companies would have simply said "They're competition, stay away" but Eric understands this business better than most and realized that a lot of ARRI'S largest customers own RED'S. So he said "Whatever we can do to help" and he really meant it.
ARRI, Element Technical, Birger Engineering, DSCLabs, and Cool lights all become wonderful friends and supporters to me and this project, I don't know what I would have done without them.

If you guys end up liking this DVD (Which I hope and pray you do) please remember it was the work and support of a lot of people and some great companies that made it happen.

I hope this DVD will stand out among others as a truly aggressive piece of work, that you will be able to say "damn, there's a lot here, and I've never seen it done this way.. This guy busted his ass on this thing."

My partner in crime, Zach and I would turn to each other at the end of a day, (Which usually went 14 hours 6 days per week) and day "It may be good, it might suck, but we did our best.. We let nothing go".

Could we have put more in? Sure, but with RED that will always be the case.. At one point we simply had to say... Enough.

As Lucas once said, projects are never finished.. only Abandoned.

Jay you think you might make another specificly for the new line of Red cameras?
 
Hi Jonathon,

This is the $60,000 question. Our INTENTION is to say "Yes". However due to the size and complexity of these projects, I.E. RED is in a class all it's own, it took 7 months to do.. We're going to need to see how many numbers we can move of RED101 DVD before we can begin plans for Scarlet / Epic.

Another factor is that with RED the Goal Posts move a LOT. They are always changing and always updating. Many have suggested that I should go to an ONLINE setup instead of DVD.

I've put a lot of thought into this, and while I like Online stuff, I do not feel it's a replacement for DVD media. The DVD still allows for a little more freedom than a computer file. I do believe that someday I will offer an online file in ADDITION to DVD but I do not expect online (Or downloadable media) to replace a good DVD set any time soon.

The Epic / Scarlet DVD will be much harder than RED, because of all the new modules, and we'll have to pick the right time to make it.

Jarred was a very strong force in helping me get this done, he's a good friend who had a lot of faith in my ability. .

One thing is for sure, we'd all like to see the next one come out a little sooner.

A lot of people are about to get the RED101 DVD in their hands, and we took some risks in designing it differently than other instructional videos have in the past.. I'll need to see what everyone thinks. If you all like what you see, and sales continue on the track they are on now, then I can promise you one HELL of a dvd on Epic and Scarlet.

We'll all know a lot more in a couple days.

Until then... Buy the DVD! Get it for your friends, neighbors, pets.. Do they use a RED? Cool this is perfect! Can they SAY the word RED? Great, that will do!

:)

Glad to hear... I'd love to buy your DVD but I hate custom taxes!

Thank you.

:wink5:
 
It will be a while Pietro. Right now the US Dollar is very weak.. The price for the online version (When it comes, much later) will be the same as the DVD. If the dollar goes up, what you save in Taxes you may lose in the currency exchange.

Something to thik about. I cannot believe how many overseas sales we are getting. This may be why
