Never had doubts...

Here's looking at you, Jim.
 
Congrats from Denmark. Well done RED. I'll be drinking a toast to you guys tonight.
 
Wow, This has been such an exciting year, thanks for letting us look over your shoulders and share in the expierience. You guys really pulled off something amazing. CONGRADULATIONS, .........this is only the beginning.
 
Huge congratulations to the RED Team and, obviously, special thanks to Jim for making the self-professed "dream" a reality. I have never known of a business enterprise like this in my life. To me, it seems even more revolutionary than the camera (if that's possible).

I followed the development silently since the very beginning on DVXUser and became more and more impressed with the venture the more I read from Jim. As exciting as it was, though, I never thought I would have the means to own the camera . . . until I received an inheritance a few months ago that actually made it possible.

I feel a mission and an urgency to honor both my benefactor and the tremendous opportunity that the RED team have made possible for me by making at least one very, very fine film with this camera. I will not settle for less than that.
 
I echo everyones' sentiments here. Congratulations Red Team - You are an inspiration to all of us little, medium and big guys out in the world. You represent the new model of doing business not only in the film industry world of building equipment, but in every other industry as well. People should take note of your strive for excellence and radical change. It's people like Jim who make this world exciting again!

Kudos!
 
I just opened a chianti riserva my thirst toast goes to you and all the red team Mr Jannard. You sound like a small team of talented craftmen fool of passion.
I wish my camera could be review by the boss himself, thats a funny though.
Rgdfilmred you are right "People should take note of your strive for excellence and radical change"
Cheers Redteam

Congrats to everyone at RED and the owners of 1-25. It'll be fun to hear all the ups and downs. I've got a feeling you guys will be inventing the workflows the rest of us adopt.
 
Just so you know, I am here at 1:09am with the RED team personally reviewing each camera of the 1st 25. We are calibrating each camera and my job is to check the files in RED Alert! that Jarred is shooting. We are shooting ISO 320, 1000 and 2000. There are about 20 people here getting ready for tomorrow. It really is a memorable night. About a year and a half ago this was just a dream. Tonight the dream has become a reality.

I want to thank all those that believed in RED from the beginning.

Jim

Wow. Day 1. This has been such an exciting journey to watch. I've been following this since the first posts on DVXUser, sharing with many skeptical friends, dragging two up to the LA screeenings, always amazed at the old-time entrepeurial spirit of Jim Jannard and team. To think that the head of the company was there this morning at 1 AM doing what many CEOs would consider grunt work..

Well, you've done it. Congratulations.

My one hope through all of this is that this journey has been well documented, because it will make an amazing documentary one day. Save all the footage, all the photos, every last scrap of info. I look forward to seeing that.

And I look forward even more to our little production company shooting our third feature on the RED 1.

Thanks to Jim, Jarred, Anders, Graeme, Brook, Evin, Sean and the entire RED team, Mike Curtis over at HDForIndies, and the RED supporting community.

Wow - it must feel like watching your only daughter walk down the aisle...

It's been an incredible honor for me (and perhaps for all of us collectively), to have been able to witness all of this unfold and even participate in our own way. I remember visiting red.com right after it was bandied about the Web, and thinking "could this really be?", and then finding out that Jim was behind it. That, for me, made all of the difference, as Oakley has been a brand I'd grown to trust implicitly. Had a real hard look at finances that night, and my has time flown. From NAB 2006 to the parties at Sundance & Caesars' and watching 4k CTL in the booth this year, seeing the maniacal passion and dedication manifest itself in everything you all have done. What a ride, what a frikkin ride this has been!
 
I am a big reader, not much of a writer. I have visited this site at least 5 times a day since its inception to follow the journey. I just want to thank Red, the Team, and the many participators who have made this forumn the best read of the decade. There has been adventure, inspiration, obstacles to overcome, twists and turns, solutions, planning for the future, and all have made me feel truly on the inside of the whole fascinating process. Thank you RED, and here is to all of your successes!!!
 
truly remarkable, inspiring and ridiculously solid and complete. A longtime dream come true for me. Congratulations and Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. You guys are the true pioneers of our time.
 
It's been a wild ride so far, but champagne and cigars all round - you deserve it! Can't wait to see what people do with it!! :usd: :biggrin:
 
Congratulations ...

Congratulations ...

Congratulations Jim and the RED team!!!!!! Although quiet, I have been reading since the beginning, back on DVXuser!!
Thank you for positive change and being faithful to your Dreams!
All things are possible, aren't they!

Well what more can be said...today you have fulfilled the dreams and hopes of allot of people (including a few of your own I can imagine.) Congratulations to the whole RED team and we are looking forward to more of your mad scientist ideas in the future.
