  • 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 :)

Appreciation...

Hope to be a customer already. :001_cool:
 
As a future Epic S owner, I would like to thank everyone at RED for their hard work and amazing products. I also want to thank all of the RED employees and everyone else who post on this forum. I have learned a lot from your posts and look forward to learning a lot more.

Just say the word and I will gladly place my pre-order for the Epic S.
 
Jim Jannard,Jarred, Kelly, and Co...

In some cases (my own) you've given more than you'll ever know!!! And for that you will always have my Loyalty, and immense Gratitude.

that said gotta go, shooting Heidi Klum on Epic today...

cheers
 
:cheers2:Jim:

The appreciation is mutual. What you have accomplished and continue to accomplish is phenomenal. Your vision, drive and belief are awe inspiring.

And even though I bought my first Red from Ketch, after our first feature I will get an Epic from you.

And speaking of features, I would not be in pre-production on this one if I hadn't been able to own a world class digital cinematography camera for LESS THAN THE ORIGINALLY BUDGETED FILM AND PROCESSING! That is quite an accomplishment in itself.
 
Appreciation flows both ways and there's plenty flowing from here. :)

...Now, how about shipping that EPIC-M I've paid for? :-P Yeah, I know, you guys are working on it. Just could really use it.... And either way, I appreciate the RED philosophy. So far, it's all been far more than worth the wait.
 
Thank you RED team, for your patience. You could have an angry mob standing outside your studios in Hollywood ready to break in and demand you give them cameras now, but instead you have some cool, easy-going (for the most part), Reduser's who understand shit happens, and whose only 'dick' matters besides their own...
 
Sigh , if it was appreciation then why didn't Jarred reply to my PM when I asked him about the EPIC...

This thread will stay... I want our competition to know they are up against "not normal". You ever (almost) get in a fight with a guy who's veins in his neck stand up and you go... uh, oh? That's us. :-)

Competition? Where?!?! The F65 mock up came out this year's NAB, and you people are allready delivering Epic M's.
Red One have been in the wild for 5 years now, and to be honest, you have killed the competition, if you want to name film as competition.
It is Red Digital Cinema, and then, everything else.
 
Every day I pass by Red User in hopes of hearing new and concrete info on the Red camera I could afford, that would be the Epic S. Its been years, I've started looking and following red since the early reduser days when Jarred was still the "master" dvxuser. I'm still here, still waiting, still feel excited reading the advancements on the epic, hdrx, and seeing wonderful footage like Tatoo... I've bought other systems due to budget constraints, but I still come here, waiting to hear that magical "Epic S is ready to ship" post. The f3 is very, very tempting, but its these small personal touches like this post from Jim that really makes me wait just a bit longer. Its good to know the makers are really listening the user's voice. Now, please, Jim, Jarred, Red Team, let us join the club!
 
I guess i'm one of those who don't post much, nothing much like a red fanboy either, but just one of those who like the idea behind Red.
So i'm here, ready whenever you are guys (with a faith inversely proportional to my limited budget).
 
I've happily been on board with Red since before the beginning. I remember in the early years the snide "vaporware" comments from tradition-bound industry "experts" - who have since had to eat their words. Most of them have just quietly adopted Red cameras into their projects - while never taking the time to publicly admit they had been wrong about their early snap-judgments concerning Red.

Appreciation should a 2-way street. I've always felt it for Red - and felt it back from Red in reciprocity. Red (and Red User) now comprise a worldwide, mutually beneficial community. We've come a very long way.

Allow me iterate a philosophy integral to Jim and Red Team:

"If you can visualize it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it"

They definitely have...and consequently so have we as a result of a combination their inspiration and hard work, and our willingness to take the leap and support it. This is a true symbiosis...
 
The thing that brought me to Red was the promise of shotting 35mm digital cinema for a price that I could conceivably scrape together. Now that Red has made a name for themselves, it would have been easy to transition to the inaccessible (for most of us) pricing of Arri and Panavision. Thankfully, Epic still costs less than half of what a used Aaton cost me fifteen years ago, and I suspect we have Jim himself to thank for that. Ship dates? A controversy that is soon to be forgotten. Enabling mere mortals to own the same camera used by Jackson, Soderbergh, Fincher, Cameron et al? That is truly revolutionary, and NOT soon to be forgotten.

For Jim to be thanking us... well, that seems a bit backwards.
 
I always appreciate the sense of community here and that there is a little bit of us in every product. Jim, you are one in several million. I often wonder what you think about in your down time (no secret there) and where you will be taking all of us next. Thinking out of the box takes a visionary, thinking RED takes a community.

Have another great RED day!
