  • 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...

How about adding a count down on RED.com :) I remember when the 2nd reservations were about to open with the countdown and that was suspenseful!! Not that I need the reminder because I sleep on these sites.

it's late and I'm probably talking out of my ass. Time to go to bed...
 
I 2nd that

That second countdown clock was my window of oppurtunity
and i capitalized.

very magic moment to see that clock and knowing i had time to get in.

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.

I for one will be right there with you. I have been around since the "dvxuser" days but it was quickly obvious to me that RED was way more camera than I would know what to do with.

Give me anything close to the original scarlet specs and price that I can take underwater and I am more than right there.

I've been trumping both RED & scarlet to everyone who will listen for some time now.

I have had people try to convince me to get some "high-end" Sony camera & housing that records "4 times the bandwidth of HDV" only to have them look at me like I am a moron when I say I am waiting for my scarlet :)

rock on.
 
Red could be a 'wake up' call to the industry.
Nintendo did it, Apple did it, Google did it, and now Red is doing it.

Red wants to build and sell the best cameras in the world, and we want to buy and use them.
 
Janard, you know how to talk to your crowd, you should do politic :)

Nice to feel such motivation and good spirit behind Red...
Looking forward the news

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.

My request would be that every RED camera is shipped with a ShotWrangler SolidStore - I'll do volume pricing for ya Jim!

Exciting times at RED - It's incredible to watch a company start with a blank-slate, take on consumer feedback and develop accordingly... Very different.

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...

awwwww...i can just feel the luv...even down here in OZ!
 
Well Jim. You produced a digital cinema camera so people like me could make the movies we always wanted to. I received #214 (Andrea) in January and reached into my archive of movie ideas. While breaking Andrea in on various client jobs I finally wrote the screenplay for "Plastic", an idea which people have been bugging me to do for almost twenty years. So I'm dedicating "Plastic" to you and the Red team. Best of luck on the 13th.
 
Wow, guys.
Whatever it is, I am looking foreward to it.
Think a year back... :)

RED is rocking the boat again and again and again.

Thanks for almost three fun years so far.
Looking foreward to the sequel!

In terms of innovation? I'd say red wins.

Only major difference is red actually listens and talks to it's customers (very well I might add).

I can't wait to see what comes from red in the near, and distant future. Thanks to the whole red team.
 
"Here we go again"
 
I keep hoping this countdown isn't real--that it's just there to throw us off, and we'll actually get surprised this week with info.

Wishful thinking, but what the hey...

It would be nice if the Scarlet is capable of interchangeable lenses with my Canon L

It would be nice if the Scarlet is capable of interchangeable lenses with my Canon L

L-series glass. I've just got way too much money invested in Canon's amazing L-series glass that it would not be very pragmatic to switch over to RED's systems. Maybe aftermarket adapters are possible????

Looking forward to the 13th.
 
You know, my dream was always to make movies for a living. That's it, plain and simple. I'm a writer, editor, director, producer. I wear a LOT of hats, as most of us do.

Film has always been my passion, but unfortunately due to budget constraints I was unable to produce "studio" quality material. And that held me back, at least in the eyes of investors and executives. I've shot several films, all with the Sony HVR-Z1U. It looked alright, but no matter how much time and effort I put into each project, at the end of the day it still looked like something you'd find on youtube.

Then RED came along. I finally managed to get my hands on a camera and immediately went to work. My film's still in the editing pipeline and I've already gotten a LOT of attention from investors, distribution execs, etc;. And the best part is... I'm presently awaiting the paperwork to close a finance deal to shoot a feature-length WW2 picture. A script that I've had in the works for years, my "baby" you could say.

The RED camera gave my project the production value of a "studio" film and showed the investors what I was capable of, given the right tools. Everyone thought we shot on film, it was amazing!

Now, my company has taken off and I'm living my dreams thanks largely to RED. Thank you so much for all of your hard work! You've given people like me the tools to realize their visions and achieve their dreams. This company is like no other, serving as a role model for what other corporations should be. RED has done something most companies never do... they've achieved greatness and earned the respect and support of their customers.

I can't say it enough... thank you to everyone at RED. Thank you for helping me live my life-long dream! :)

If any of you would like to see the teaser trailer for our film... here's the link:
