  • 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 :)

Bad news...

I didn't really realize the monumental achievement of what you guys were doing until I found the "blueprints" you guys posted for accessories makers, listing dimensions, and realized that Epic is BARELY bigger than my GH2.

Curious to see this, as well. Solely for my own clarification, and mostly because I'm sure they look bad ass. Would you be so kind as to supply a link?

Thank you in advance, sir.

Best,

E

And I did do a search, but came up empty...could not figure out the concatenation that would take me to it.

So true. Stay the course, Jim. Be easy. Really. There's no point killing yourself over something completely out of your control. As you say, let us put the focus where it belongs presently...supplying aid to those in need. As cool as the EPIC is, the device pales in comparison to the human element that created it.

Chill, dude. We all want you around for some time to come.

It's always easy to be let down by really bad news. Even easier is wasting time bashing yourself for something out of your control. Stay the course, keep going, and never stop. That's what I've learned from my own experiences.
 
The old guard Keiretsu in Japan would have been worse than the recent tsunami effect
on parts delivery. They would have quietly blocked parts from Red. Fortunately, those
days have passed just as this whole mess will pass too.
 
I stand by what I said and my prayers go out to those suffering in Japan. And thanks for the compliment Elsie. I am 60 years old, worked around the world for 35 years in some very sad places during some very sad times, I have more than enough life experience with death.

PS: Jannard, take a walk, smell the air, kiss the ground and get on with it, being alive is number one. A fantastic idea from a brilliant man and his team will be here when it gets here, in the meantime we can all shoot with what we are shooting with now since paying the bills won't wait.

Of course Elsie!

I just wanted to shed some light regarding the actual situation on the ground here. I have seen a few threads regarding Japan descend into a shitfight so I wanted to head off any potential of that happening here, since in this thread we are all trying to encourage Jim during his tough times (and get our damned cameras at some point as well.. lol) :)
I know how easy it can be for a persons intention online to be misconstrued sometimes!

Cheers,

Ivan

Dear Jim,

When I push the limits, then a door opens.

At the end of the wardrobe, where no one can see anything,
the one who has pushed their limits will see the door ...!...

I have produced, composed 21 music albums, and it was, beyond challenges and madness.
Countless people from all around the world, find peace and serenity in my music...

Now I am want to get an Epic.

You will be helping to make dreams come true and awaken the world's minds
with the deep and powerful message of hope and love that I want to portray in my movies.

Thank you again for all of your help and for being a part
of the creation of a much more beautiful world.

i am grateful to you !!

60? Where I'm from you would still be called pup. I have no problem with your being serious and sad about the Japanese troubles. My only problem was your characterizing my post as offensive. I consider myself as empathetic as the next person but instead of wringing my hands saying how sad things are, I believe in shaking off the sadness and getting back to happiness. It's probably a genetic thing. A few years ago when my mother died (at 101), myself and my brothers and sister were in the funeral home planning her funeral. The undertaker left the room so we could talk among ourselves and was probably surprised to hear raucous laughter coming from the room as we rehashed stories of the things our mother had done that made each of us lol. Spirits were lifted.

As a kid, I remember a time when a huge storm came through and wiped out all the crops with hail (farming family consisting of 4 uncles and 3 aunts and their families). Everyone was gathered at my grandparents place afterwards, knowing there would be no income from the crops that year because it was too late in the season to replant. Among all the sadness, one uncle said "I know what I'm going to do... I'm gonna plant some three minute oats." The room burst out laughing and spirits were lifted. I grew out of the gloom and doom mentality early in life.

The Japanese do not need or want pity. They are a proud and able people. Showing pity is condescending.
 
Jim please look after your health !!! There is only one Jim....and many more RED revolutionary innovations to come ...

I'm only 32. What does that make me? :)
 
Sir,

While I'm excited about the Epic I don't forget that I have a fantastic camera in the R1.

You shouldn't forget that either.

Best.
 
Great post, Elsie! We pick up the pieces and move on, the sooner the better :).

I don't remember who it was, but I think the guy who told Jim, please don't cancel your orders with Japanese companies if you can, help them recover their country in a way that maintains their pride, had the best point I've seen. Japan is definitely going to need those jobs ...

Gotta admire Jim, though. He's a 60 year old man with the stamina of a 20 year old. Unstoppable and truly a role model for all of us :).

Jim, if my words are of any help, don't take this toll on your body. RED was already a success when you first had the idea, ups and downs are just bureaucracy of the outer world.

Be well!

>>I consider myself lucky.

We all should feel lucky. We're alive and able to create stuff. So, Epic's gonna be a bit later. It's OK. End of summer's just fine, given everything.

Jim,
There is no question that you have put together an amazing, brilliant and talented team to help realize your vision, that said, it is your vision we believe in and by logical extension you personally in as much as you have put yourself out here personally representing your vision of helping us realize our visions.

Thank you and all, for the hard work. No complaints here on delays. The only thing we dearly needed from Japan gratefully arrived on Friday - our son was studying abroad and is back safe and sound. Our thoughts and prayers for those less fortunate.
 
Jim I think you get the picture from everyone's reply... :-)
