  • 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 :)

Complete hype...

All of us have been truly fortunate to be part of this - even in a small way. Imagine two years ago if we had looked at that prototype and walked away. I have friends at Sony - friends specifically in charge of hgh end cameras. In the last year we simply don't talk about technology or business.

What the RED team has accomplished turly shows ingeniuty and the significance of a strong leader with a vision. Kudos to every single one of the team and a huge thanks to Jim.

The next week should, once again, be the technological highlight of our year. Thanks for making that happen.

I think RED should steal what George Lucas or Larry Thorpe said at a CineAlta meeting a number of years ago - "Remember what you see to day is just the beginning - this is a bad as it will ever look. It will do nothing but get better." RED proves that true beyond any shadow of doubt!
 
At this point, I don't know how you can play down the hype you've been building for the last several months. If the biggest feature is, say, changing the 'purple sun' phenomenon to a more pleasant olive & fuchsia plaid... some folks are going to be disappointed. :)

In all seriousness, I'm really excited to see what you've got in store. (And since the RED ONE has tapped out our budget for the time being, free firmware updates are about the only new releases I'll be able to 'buy.')
 
Guys another trap by Jim.
We are already struggling to get out of this trap laid 2 years back.
If such stuff keep coming, we will be going nowhere except visiting Reduser.net every hour :)
 
That wooden breadbox prototype is my favorit :biggrin:
 
A couple years ago they called me a fool when I showed a shiny prototype camera and said this is the future. Last year I was insane when I put down thousands on a down payment. Now I'm a genius for having foresight.

Thanks Jim

Jim,

Here's confirmation that all is well with your camera and even the picture quality in it's current state before 16. Played some footage on a client's 32" HD TV at 720 through HDMI and they swear that their TV isn't capable of producing images that good. They said they have run high end material through it, and it's just not possible for the TV to reproduce the quality. They were stunned.

Look forward to build 16.

You have been warned. If you don't like hype, STOP HERE.

I am testing Build 16 and I am so happy. While there are lots of little nits to pick at this stage, the concept of what is being done here is absolutely incredible. I find myself shaking my head in disbelief while sitting alone looking at this stuff. I'm sure there is medication for this condition. When I find out what it is, I'll post it. You'll need it.

Build 16 will get lost at NAB. You will hardly notice. The other eye candy will over-shadow this build. But it truly is monumental. It represents our graduation from the University of Camera Building. I'm sure that there is a ton more for us to learn, but the foundation is now laid for the RED future. Two years ago we knew nothing. I really can't believe that so many of you trusted us with our shiny prototype! :-)

You're a marketing grand master.

Oh...forgot...we trusted you because we knew that you REALLY wanted to do it....and with that kind of team, well...ENERGY

Vaporware and Fantasyware

I do remember not so long ago that these terms were used quite a bit.

Some of the posts on various sites in years past were quite humorous and to read them now is even more so.

Google this:
red vaporware.

Funny, really funny.

Have fun at NAB, enjoy the time, make them all eat their words. Can't wait to hear from those lucky enough to attend and see all the new Big and Little things.

I'm havin' this same problem.

My dog LMAO (formerly known as Isinglass because she has these two opaquely blue eyes, but renamed LMAO because she grabs a plastic vinegar jug and bangs it off my legs until we get in a scrum over it and she surrounds it with her feet, or covers up by just laying on it while holding onto it with her teeth) has to be picked at least once a day.

Tried a flea and tick collar but she hated it so much that she found a way to get it off. If you come up with a better solution that doesn't involve chemicals, I hope you will post it.

We get those all the time, but if there's a particularly big one on Monday night our time you can always monitor it here. :)

Jim, I just wanted to say thanks. The quality of the camera's footage is helping us get investors. After just finishing one feature with it and showing off the footage, I got financing for another project (thanks to RED!)...and (possibly) 3 more.

I have to go write, I just wanted to pop on and say thanks.

Anything is possible. Anything.
