  • 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 :)

1st problems in the field...

........and Bombay and Romeo are minimally enabled in there features right? So there couldn't be any news of other stuff going wrong because those things are locked out? Or are they getting to shake out everything?
P.S. thanks for being so forthcoming......as usual.

I still can't believe they took prototype cameras to another country to shoot a feature, in the jungle, in 100 degree heat. The heat wouldn't be the only reason you'd be sweating!

Do you have a Red Engineer on set?

We do have someone on set. Talk about sweating!

We have been told that the images look incredible. But at the moment the sensor warnings went off, those shots showed just a bit more noise. But still better than most anything you could shoot. As soon as the cameras cooled, images went back to incredible. They will make sure the sensor warnings don't go off from here on out.

Seeing that there was no overheating in the blazing NZ Sun. I wonder what combination of direct sunlight, air tempreture, humidity and run time, breeched the thermal envelope of the sensor?

Are you considering providing guidelines for the operating environment when you have completed these kinds of tests on the production camera?

We are sending software updates almost everyday to add features. We are probably 65% feature enabled at this point. There are a ton more features than PJ had when he shot "Crossing". They even have Timecode!

They're using RedDrives, right? How are they holding up?

They are shooting to CF cards. There have been no issues other than the heat.

It could be the humidity. Wetter air retains more heat.

Jim, I am totally convinced you will become a case study at Harvard business school. I really mean it.

If honesty and being open during development of a new program wins you a case study at Harvard, we are all in bad shape.

Peltiers? Wowee that must be a hot sensor! I remember buying a peltier to try and keep an old Athlon computer extra cool back in my computer modding days, never did work right, the cool side kept being overtaken by the hot side.

Not that the overheating in Spain overly concerns me BUT - Is there still a possiblilty of having an early res RedOne CNC aluminum body only polished and completely unpainted? I'd pay a premium for that opportunity!

How much of a premium? :-)

Does that mean you don't have faith that we can fix this issue? Or are you going to shoot in 120 degree heat? Or just think it would be cool looking?
