  • 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 :)

11 days...

With 11 days to go, I want to take a moment to thank all of you. We have listened. At 1st, it was difficult. We kept saying to ourselves "don't these guys know how difficult this stuff is?"... and "if they want that, they should try and build one themselves!". Then we really began to get comfortable with the tiger we had grabbed hold of. And many of the suggestions actually seemed within reach. So we decided to really stretch ourselves. The results of that stretch will become apparent on the 13th. Many of you have had input that pushed us to reach higher.

Of course there have been many suggestions that are just out of the question. They are either impossible or not realistic at a reasonable price. If those suggestions were serious (I sincerely hope they were not)... a few might actually be disappointed. But I doubt it. Especially if everything is considered.

Long way around saying that many of you have made a difference. That really is what this forum is supposed to be about. If we responded harshly early on, it was just because we didn't know how to do it all. Now we do. Well, at least much of it.

Put your helmet on. The 13th is near. It is only fitting that I should post here 1st, then on red.com. You guys matter.

Jim

This is so great to hear. Thank you for listening, even when it is difficult. Yet another example of how RED differs from other companies.

Cheers,
 
cool

cool

Confession: I don't need this camera - It's way more than I require for broadcast doc work. But being (a small) part of this movement is just too cool to resist. The way Red has come to be is so unique, and the spirit Jim has imbued in the Red team is so visionary, I just gotta stay on board. I've learned a lot more as a shooter. I've also learned a lot about waiting. These 11 days are nuthin' compared to the year waiting for the camera. Bring it on.
 
You got us on the edge of our seats now...I'm going to guess that on 13th we'll all collectively become one giant matte paining, plastered against the back wall of the universe. The only thing left will be countless pairs of socks. :weight_lift:
 
I feel like a child waiting for christmas.

My wife said she was about to leave me cause I spend to much time on this forum and you know what... I don't care ;-)

Maybe Jim turned me into an addict ? Aaaahhhh !!! I feel GOOD !!!
Just waiting for the next update news.

Seriously, I'm more than happy with my brand new R1.
I really don't know how you guys can do more.
 
Thank You for creating a great company and have the compassion to really care about your customers. Can't wait to see what the next round brings!
 
Oh c'mon Jimmie the RED, tell us what you're really up to, you & your unruly group of pranksters hiding out in the Nevada desert, staying up all night & making plans to take over. What will it be this time?

You can fool us once, but we're on to you this time!
 
11 days to wait for the announcement, then an unknown period of waiting for the actual camera. This is like a line at Disney World! :-)
 
Im just hoping my redone will not be left in the dark.
I've been babying it since i got it, shining it and keeping it clean
and i just hope red still loves little r1.
Future proof
Even if i upgrade to epic i wish i had the money to keep my red one body
it is a beautiful design by red, something so futuristic
when im shooting for others and when im in my studio
im always stuck gazing at it and lost in thought at its hal9000 control,
it is a good time to be alive.
i dont have any money left
and im happy.
i have creative tools that dont lose value
i have all i need to make my dreams come true
and i put my money on red
and i won
more than i ever have in my life
i remember when i was going to get a redrock m2 adapter for my just purchased hvx200 and i figured i was set
and then someone on dvxuser said if your gonna run that just check out red
and i did, and i was blown away
it was shortly after that, that talk of it being used for wanted peter jackson
and a few others really amazed me, i just figured i was getting the better version of the hvx200 redrock m2 setup, and after the last god knows how many days months and more i spent on reduser i have walked away from an online college of education, reduser, so many helpful teachers, and the usual distracting students which i can be at times as well, but i really tried to find a place to thank all of the people who have put the information up fro me to share in and learn from and participate in, thanks jarred and alot of others, it is not easy to communicate ones self on an online forum and have sarcasm humor respect and happiness and more read out perfectly. It is so interesting to see people from all over the world coming to this site daily and exsisting, reduser has come a long way from fanboys to haters and red elitists.
the dynamic is almost perfected
and i am glad i am a part of the future
thank you red
and worldwide redusers

just wait till you see my movies

i have a funny feeling they are going to be just as good as yours ; )
and i use to think i was going to change the game on my own.

RED
 
Thanks man.. that was inspiring.
 
thank you jarred, alot of guys respect and envy you on here
im sure alot of people would agree that we feel a common bond with you

except you get to see behind the curtain!!!! lol

and we dont.
must be nice.
then again you dont get to open a present on the 13th so there. hah : )

I don't think anyone really realizes how important Jarred is to the RED program. Running reduser and scarletuser is the LEAST of what he does. I have never worked with anyone that understands the vision of what I see as well as he does. He is the one person that can tell me I've lost my mind... and I will actually listen (sometimes). We trade 30 emails a day when I am out of the office (he is the adult supervision when I am gone) and usually it is to tell each other of the same idea at the same time. Which makes it my idea, naturally...

RED could not be done without the team we have assembled. Every person matters. But without Jarred...

Just so you know...

Jim

Hope you don't mind my plagiarism on this one, but these are my sentiments exactly. I love my camera. For the first time in my life i feel like the technology around me is ahead of my own ability. makes me strive to do better. Thanks Red Team
 
Good morning from Europe.

Thanks to all RED Team and of course specially to Jarred for the forum.

The helmets are ready for November 13.

Waiting for the big show to start....
 
Very true big jim and very awesome to see my quote above your words
i am a proud red owner with all fixings and i thank you

i also dont think you realize what you have done with red
and i am really blown away at what red is turning into
everyone who talks about red has the usual variable angles

and the one thing they are all not realizing is that all of the other camera companies that i wont bother naming, dropped the ball, that you picked up and molded and fabricated innovated modified and anodized. lol.

They dropped the ball because they dont have a jim jannard
how awesome it is everytime you come on this forum and people freak out when they see that big jim chainsaw and they are little fish swimming with the big fish and they are so eager to thank you and share in this epicness that you have created, funny too because alot of the stuff i shot with r1 people i work with end up saying after they get a shot, "epic" as in how epic their shot looks.
I'm pretty sure when they shoot on epic they will just be speechless.

thanks jim and yes jarred gets second place for the hype after people see his mr. nice guy smile when he posts, which almost always reads out as "hey guys, i just got another look behind the curtain and let me tell you, you wish you could be me" lol
he just happens to be a nice guy so its ok : )

I think this statement is very much so fact about most things. The people are what make things happen and worth while. Cheers Jim and Jarred for setting a fine example of how a company should be run!
