Thanks for sharing. I look forward to shooting with my Red MX (upgrade underway) for the first time in a couple of weeks. His Red still looks brand new!

 

[Noah Kadner]

Ha very nice- but next time throw some ND gels up on those windows!

Cool one!

But it wouldn't run on the iPad - bummer!

 

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Yes, this was quite glorious to see in 4K...
Nice to see it posted online for all.
Thanks, Jarred!

 

[Kyle Hance]

It's so awesome to see a big name director adopting the Red and getting excited about it I like Peter jackson. And I like Red. Good combo...

 

[David Collard]

I like the way you photoshopped Peter Jackson's head on that guy.
Another Red scam.

Not to mention the rotoscoping in the 7 minute video. Good thing they had CS5 After Effects to make the job a bit simpler... :smiley:

And the coloring done with that new cheaper version of DaVinci in no time!

 

[Erik Bien]

You VFX whipper-snappers, always trying to do everything the hard way; that was clearly a Peter Jackson impersonator. Almost had me fooled, but there's a little bit of South African in that Kiwi accent if you listen real close. And that also explains the weight loss ...

 

[Jared Caldwell]

I love it! :}

 

[Tom Lowe]

I like Peter even more after watching this. He's as excited about Epic as the rest of us. :^)

 

[Frank Weeks]

I was so amazed with the comfort level PJ had in front of the camera. He was so genuine with his comments that if Red had scripted it, it could not have been more beautifully presented. I overheard Jim at one of the "round table" discussions comment on not being able to view the presentation until shortly before it was seen by all. I'll bet he couldn't have been more proud.

 

[Drew Ingram]

So... what is Peter's secret REDUSER identity? Any ideas?

 

[J Davis]

HOT DAMN !!

I bet watching that put a broad smile on yer faces ... well done TEAM RED

 

[Robin Moran]

Has he customized his camera? Wonder what that thing is on the top of his RED camera...

 

[Joseph S.]

Congrats to the RED team of course. Mr. Jackson seems so genuine about what he's saying. I love the statement about not being technical and knowing about graphs and mathematical charts and just looking at a great picture result. Very cool to see this video.

Did anyone else notice the cradle moving closer and closer to the body? I think at the end it was resting comfortably on the joystick

Just thought I would share a special little clip our good friend Peter Jackson put together for us for NAB...

I imagine RED takes comfort in all the gratitudes received by us all, but when coming form some one like PJ, it has to hit that particular spot in your heart, knowing that your work truly is recognized by some of the absolute very best Filmmakers!

Congrats!!
