Evolution of RED

[Petr Dvorak]

thanx amazing, I must compare it with my collection .... but, where is Frankie?

 

[Brook Willard]

Frankie was never publicly rendered - she was only photographed.

 

[Matthew Lochman]

this thread has so much potential...

 

[Jannard]

This is the "breadbox". It had a 1/3" slice of the Mysterium sensor!

Check out the sticker...

[Unwounded]

[Joel Kaye]

Established 1999?

Logo better now than then.

 

[JustinGD]

Hmmmmm, I think you just showed me how to save $17,500! To Home Depot!

 

[ChrisLyon]

Wooooow...

I don't know where these came from- but this was the first time I had any idea of the scale of the red. I remember thinking this was a picture of Franky- but I'm not sure if that's true.

Whoa! I was combing through these and I *still* want that top bracket piece. Hey Jim or Jarred, any of these lying around the warehouse? It'd be nice to mount for a stripped down package.

I thought this was Frankie?

 

[Alexander Christ]

I thought this was Frankie?

Yes, her royal highness in person ;-)

 

[J.D. Frey]

sweet- I guess I never saw a picture of frankie until now.


after I first heard about red I think the first picture I saw was the bad ass tie fighter configuration- It was at that moment that I was sold:

i can't wait to see more of these pre production shots in the Red 'making of' book.

 

[Gunleik Groven]

Yep

I remember the StarWars assosiation, too


Frankies PL mount looks a lot like todays RedMount.

[Kyle Presley]

Wow, I have to say, I really like the first design renders the best. Very elegant.

 

[Benni Diez]

Yeah the first few silver ones are very sweet. Hope some of the style will go into Epic.
The actual Red One design, as cool as it may be, makes it look a lot heavier than the first ones.

 

[Johann Schulz]

Of course, the R1 was inside "Frankie", just like new models in an exotic car mag are hidden by various panels. Very cool!

But this trip down memory lane is poignant now because over a thousand potential R1s have fallen into filmmakers hands IN THE PAST MONTH ALONE!

I was about to start a new thread to commemorate the awesome progress of this private company, and then I found this nice little corner to post in.

New lenses, storage, the pro lcd, and what November brings. Holy cow! I even noticed that I can access RED here in Taiwan on a traditional Chinese webpage! That's new as of today, too! (Although Taiwan and surrounding islands are a 'bit' off in map-rendering, and I can't read much Chinese...).

Red Digital Cinema is now a player to be 'reconed' with. You can all still smoke, but the pipe dream is over - Red is reality!

 

[Michael T O'Connor]

Any news on the replacement of those placeholders??

In any case, the thread should probably be updated with the latest iteration of the "classic" RED camera, which I would presume is the EPIC-X. I'll post the current render. I expect it to change somewhat by the time it comes out...

Although the prototypes at NAB were very similar, as far as I can tell.

Most of the images in this thread have disappeared for me - were they lost when the forum went down?
