MARK... Meet your new roommate...

[Jarred Land]

Hey Jarred, Didn't Melvin work as a bouncer at the Red Booth in 2008. If so will he return this year? Added security is always a plus with all those cameras lying around

Bingo. Melvin and Z have been with us for what seems like forever.. and are now both full-time security at the Studio. We are lucky to have them.. and can sleep at night knowing they are protecting the family jewels

 

[Frank Weeks]

all I remember is despite the longest waiting lines of any booth at NAB, the sight of Melvin and Z at Red's front entrance kept the environment amazingly civil.

 

[Shawn R]

Now thats what I'm talking bout... fooo!

 

[David Battistella]

Nice. I'm sure Mark is refreshing that FEDEX tracking number!

ha ha yeah agree... but you could do the same with much lower sources. its those damn 20 year old spacelights that are so hard normally you need to triple diffuse it and at that point the 6000 watts really looks like 1000 watts. and the 12x12 silk...the 5k is so far back to flood the whole thing, it looses alot of light.

But you are right.. I think I have been hanging around the big boys way too long to think 12,000 watts is "easy". And those damn RED WAGON power strips with 100 x 20 amp plugs distorts reality a little When you have 20 lights plugged into them it looks like the glass is only 20% full

Swap all those lights out with soft fluoros or LED's.. and you could probably get close to the same thing

hehe, was thinking the same thing "quick and simple" and 12k light don't really mix.

jarred, no matter how "simple" this was... if you don't have the eye for it, you don't do it like that. great lighting job.

and I like the thought that Felix and Melvin share the same "background" if you know what I mean

roooooaaaaar!

 

[Patrick Grossien]

Thats quite a departure from the titanium R.

Jochen

Maybe Melvin has a titanium bone structure, so this is not so far fetched

 

[Vladimir Eugene]

Ha, it's great to see Melvin. I've loved seeing him since the first NAB I believe, Mark- you won't have any more problems, guaranteed.

[Carl-August Savgård]

If this is Mr. Bond 007 we see, then Melvin must be either "M" or Moneypenny. =)

 

[Wayne Beck]

While it lacks design quality, I'd hang it in my office. Just to remember.

 

[Steve Dent]

Leave it to Red to turn Merde into an epic win.

 

[Jeff Coatney]

I remember chatting with Melvin and Z in Vegas, they were... cordial. They are consummate professionals at their craft.

 

[Steve Johnson]

Great news Mark - really pleased that you got #00007 "Bond"

First thing I thought when I saw the picture - I take it Melvin has "Badass" engraved under him!!!!

Looking forward to you picking up where younleft off Mark and showing us the delights of EPIC - truly deserved.

Steve

 

[Benni Diez]

[Michael Fawke]

[Ivan McCullough]

Fair Play...

Fair Play...

Kudos Red for doing the right thing

in every sense...Fair Play

How I feel about how this company goes about it business is hard to describe.

Suffice it to say that I will be very happy to spend my money on your products knowing how you treat your friends.

 

[Pietro Impagliazzo]

You guys crack me up.

 

[Joseph Hutson]

...knowing how you treat your friends.

Let alone their enemies...

 

[Adrian T.]

Melvin is available in the RED store now:

Edit: changed "PRICE" to "WEEKLY SALARY" to put all minds at ease...

 

[JD Holloway]

Man, 12000, I need to wait for a battle tested Melvin.

 

[Meryem Ersoz]

godspeed, little EPIC-M #00007 - in all our travelling, may it be your footsteps in which we place our feet...

your wife should enjoy bunking with Bond and Melvin, it is going to be a little crowded in the Pederson family bed. I have a kitten and a dog you can borrow, to round things out.
