  • 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 :)

If it wasn't for RED...

  • I'd be done with High School (I'm home-schooled and spend too much time learning on REDuser.net)
  • I'd have an EX3, while longing for who knows what
  • I wouldn't have made all of the contacts/friends here on the forums
  • I wouldn't be able to talk with billionaires on a regular basis
  • I wouldn't have much hope in owning the kind of gear the big playa's use in the big budget movies
  • I wouldn't have had the joy of having an inside look at the challenges/rewards an imaging company gets as they build a camera from the ground up

What about you?


Thanks RED for your long hours, patience with the naysayers, and the drive to prove them wrong.

One other thing, thanks to the mods and the RED team's interaction, this forum has got to be the best on the web. :laugh:
 
Honestly, I had lost all passion for my job until RED One. I am definitely not a fanboy but I just love what this camera has done for my work life.
 
If it wasn't for RED:

  • I wouldn't have attended NAB the last two years to check out all the latest gizmos and gadgets and see RED 4K in 4K.
  • I wouldn't have gotten to work with David, Eric, Michael, Jeff, Meryem and other extremely fun, smart and talented people.
  • I'd be saving my pennies for a bottle of pre-ban absinthe instead of a fixed-zoom Scarlet.

Hi,

Well I will be shooting 35mm film for internet only viewing, the second week of February, a Point of Sale in store DVD again on 35mm next week. Both very low budget poductions.

honest;y, I wouldnt be making film. DV didnt interest me. The rest was out of reach. Thanks Red.

Stephen,

the best would be that you continue to shoot on S35mm film for a low budget and exclusive iPhone adds... :sarcasm:

Just kidding... :001_tongue: :laugh:
 
I would have replaced my DV camcorder with a Canon/Sony/Panny prosumer HD camcorder a year ago.
After seeing Red footage, playing with clips and Redcine to learn some of the workflow, and a brief hands on demo with an R1 I was hooked.
As an old 16mm film shooter, nothing under 10k other than a Scarlet seems very interesting anymore.

I would not have met via the forums a lot of interesting people, from students to A list artists at the top of their profession.
I would not have learned a ton of new cinematography/lighting/editing techniques to try from some of the best in the business. I must say it is very humbling to witness the depth of skill, knowledge, technique, and attention to detail many of you bring to your art and craft.

Thanks for being RED!
 
If it wasn't for RED, we'd be living in low-rez "HD" alias hell. :-)

If it wasn't for RED, I'd still be shooting every commercial on film and could find a really cheap set of MKII's on Ebay...
 
If it wasn't for RED I would probably be looking at 4:2:2 footage and wishing someone had shot the greenscreens on Film or the Viper.

If it wasn't for RED I would be carefully budgeting how much film I could afford to get processed and scanned this year.
 
I wouldn't have met:
-Joseph
-Ken
-Steve
-Jared
-Shane
-Peter
-Kyle

Whom I all talk with on a regular basis, about WHAT ELSE?

yup. Or even miniDV. Actually, at the time I heard about Red I was looking at getting an Andromeda modified DVX for my first camera.

I would have blown the rest of my money completing my home theater system.
 
i wouldnt have met the german redusers, gunleik and stephen pizzo and wouldnt have mailed with my favorite hackerish speaker bruce allen
 
If it weren't for RED, I would still be working at a dead end newspaper job... Oh wait, I still am!!! lol, naw... now I'm going to school too, so I can make big bucks and buy a RED branded camera. Hurrah!
 
  • I wouldn't be going to NAB '10
  • I wouldn't have gotten to find out how kEwl Ted Schilowitz or Graeme Nattress was
  • I wouldn't be planning on making videos at NAB for the great community on here...
