Hello this is my first post here, I am very excited about what RED is doing, I have been watching the development progress since the beginning. We hope to buy a RED one in the near future.

I wanted to know if anyone here who owns a RED, or is actively working with the RED One would be interested in shooting and or being apart of the crew for a music video for an R&B Artist "Lead Singer of New Edition" Ralph Tresvant for his new single "It Must Be You" this would be a spec job, no money" but there are definitely some benefits, use of the footage for your demo reel and it's a great opportunity to put your RED ONE to work for a real world project, and the Music Video is guaranteed to be aired on VH1, VH1 Soul, VH1.com, BET and possibly MTV and MTV2, so it would be a great way to promote yourself and the RED One as well. I already have some other professionals " one that is a RED users and red purchaser, he just hasn't received his camera yet" who have committed there time and expertise for the shoot, that will be on a indoor set here in the san francisco bay area. the shoot is tentatively set for early to mid june as the single gets released July 1st.

I hope to hear from some of you guys and I also want to state that we are doing this release independently, so you can hopefully understand the lack of a real budget. oh you can hear the new single at http://www.ralphtresvant.com it is the first song that starts playing and you can read a recent press release in the news section

Thanks:usd:
God Bless

Hi Dan...

Just curious...how can you guarantee the video will be aired on VH1, VH1 Soul and BET if it is an independent release with no budget? Just curious whether you have something in writing from those networks. That's a lot to promise?

Hello Shooter :) yes we do have verbal commitments from them" BET & VH1" asking us for the video to start playing "Both VH1 & BET have received an advance preview of the song and are excited and want to support Ralph as 2008 is his 25th anniversary ",we have a working relationship with both VH1 and BET as they both played our previous independent music video produced in 2006, and Ralph and myself are long time personal friends with both networks music video and talent relations dept. heads, who are in charge of authorizing video play.
 
If you can do it in May, I'll fly up to San Francisco with my Red One (which arrives tomorrow according to FedEx), otherwise I'll be in Puerto Rico with it for the month of June.

Let me know,

what am i missing here ?? "Music Video-Opportunity-R&B Super Star "

after going to Ralphs site - there are more then "10 hits " listed ... albums listed - states 1st solo album went platinum ...

" he's a truly a super star artist, actor , producer , writer ,and entertainer on stage, TV & your fav raido stiartions "

so this artist has been in the business for years , well known ... so with all the persons this artist has known in the business over the past 20 plus years
nobody will put any $$ behind this artist for a music video that will for sure will get play on MTV ,VH1 etc ...

the artist has no $$ or will not put up $$ behind himself ?

lot of familiar names over at xzault media group !!
"Tresvant new love has persuaded him to start Xzault Media Group Inc. Ralph has successfully managed to merge both his present and past together along with animations and music." ....

http://www.xzault.com/ ... seems to be quite successful business ?

is PN the DP ? or is that a different free MV ?
 
I remember back in 1990 he had a moderately successful solo album produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. However, he hasn't had much luck establishing himself as a solo act. That's too bad, 'cause he's still young. He sang most of New Edition's big hits. I do find it bizarre that he himself doesn't have the faith to foot the bill for his own video.

You would have to watch New Edition behind the music on VH1 to Understand and to get all the answers to your questions,The record Labels management have screwed Ralph & New Edition over since the beginning they have taken all of their money put them in dept through shady contracts that they just got out of after 20 plus years, and left them all with nothing from the 40 million records sold, the only money they have made is with touring, So watch VH1 new edition behind the music and then hit me up if you still have questions, we do have a small budget to get the job done. and i have been completely open and honest here, so we are looking to build relationships with people willing to help on this project and as we have bigger budget projects we know who we would like to work with.

God Bless & thanks to everyone here who has offered there help. :)
 
OK Ralph & New Edition ended up with bad deals over 3 decades in addition to the later ego problems within the band (mentioned in Vh1 article)...

i sure hope Ralph has success with the new album & xzault media ... looks like a very experienced team .... best to all over at Xzault ...
