  • 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 :)

Jim

It has been, and will continue to be, a great ride for many, many years to come. I'd wish you luck, Jarred, but you don't need any :) ... Jim will have the last laugh over the nay-sayers in the end. Although, I'll miss the posts :(.
 
The forum will never be quite the same but there's no doubt that Jim's spirit will always be present. We still know who's in charge:) We trust in Jarred to guide the ship. Jim's accomplished enough to sit back for a while.

Thank's for everything Jim.
 
It's a sad day to be a fanboy, a good day to reflect, and a time to give thanks.

Perhaps now, Jim will accept his invitation aboard the Nautilus.

That statement really sums it up, Terry. It's just stupid. There is no other way to put it, the Internet reminds me of the telephone game in grade school.

We should all deliver respect to one another, but the key lies in the fact that respect is a two-way street. You have to give it to receive it.

Sometimes turning-the-other-cheek only gets us slapped twice, and that seems especially true via the Internet. At a certain point, any self-respecting individual would want to stand up and fight back, so I don't really see what all the shock seems to be about. I didn't build the EPIC, but some of the unfounded things I read are upsetting when you realize from firsthand experience that they are simply not true -- so I can only imagine how I would feel if I HAD built it.

Jim is commendable for engaging with the civility and restraint that he has.
 
Jim. I don't post much but I have read this forum almost every single day since I joined in 2006. That is not an exaggeration. Thanks for the tool and the excitement. You have changed the world for the better. Hype your gadget all you want.
 
When they hate you...know there are so many more here that love what you have done and the integrity you have done it with.
Wholeness Jim. Wholeness.
 
I never thought Jim could just walk away...his passion runs too deep...but I can see where the naysayers and critics could take all the fun out of enjoying his accomplishments.

So, Jim, light a cigar, pour yourself a cognac or some single malt, hug your lady, and know that you've done great things!
 
Super weird... those guys at CML... never mind.
Jim this camera changed my live a lot.
Will post photos ASAP.
Cheers
 
It's odd that Jim continues to be accused of being a hypester. I recall that, before the Red One appeared, it was said to be a pipe dream and a figment of hype and that we'd never see the thing; that 'the Red camera doesn't exist' continued even after I had one in my hands, and the 'the Red can't shoot a movie' refrain even after The Social Network came out. Really? For some reason the naysayers just can't get over themselves....I'm surprised you're not continually asked to see it's birth certificate.

Jim has done a great deal for the 'film' business, and especially for all of us here. The continued march to improvement is a testimony to the initial intent of the company. I'm proud to be a Red owner. Thank you, Jim. Good luck, Jared.

But I DO take issue with "... there is no RED without Jim." I hope that's not quite true, either.
 
Even if Jim did 'retire' I'm sure his parking spot would remain. He could never just walk away...on the other hand it must mean Jarred has been up to some pretty special things.

Hear, hear....

I will say this: insomnia just got a whole lot less interesting than it used to be....

I hope Jim has as much fun with his cameras as we have had with them.

So true. Always have checked Reduser before going to bed just to see if Jim posted one of his gems.

Got to see quite a few of them before seeing them disappear by morning. I will miss those moments of raw clarity. And while some have complained that was a turn off, for many of us who don't belong to the inner circle of the Old Boys Club, his words, even the temporary ones, were like Shakespeare's Henry V St. Crispens Day speech. A rallying speech that left us proud to be among the customers, old and new who would boast that we were in the trenches with Jim when he defied convention and triumphed against long odds.

I don't know what's ahead for me... maybe something special... maybe not. But even if this is the high point... that is, being in on the early days of Red Digital Cinema's beginnings as a supporter of the dream, well, maybe that will be enough. What I've witnessed is that important to me personally.
