NAB... 1st day

[Tonaci Tran]

If you caught me and Blair this morning, you would have thought that we were on that show "amazing" race making a mad dash to the RED booth when the gates opened. We were in screening #2 (only beat by exhibitors who were already in the floor). It was absolutely INCREDIBLE. I saw it twice smack front row. I truly felt as if I was "in" the movie. No grain, pristine footage. THANK YOU JIM

 

[durangotang]

Thanks Jim! It is amazing what you are doing! Don't stop!

 

[HD Hildebrand]

It's been a hell of a ride just following the posts on Reduser today - can't even begin to imagine the ride Jim and the entire Red team has taken over the past year. Good-on-ya'. Can't wait to start shooting Red.

Cheers,
Dale

I wish you have documented the past year. I would love to see the story on all of this..

I wish you have documented the past year. I would love to see the story on all of this..

I think between here (Reduser.com) and cinematography.com and similar places, the story has been documented.

 

[Emanuel A.]

Indeed!

 

[Hoffmann Films]

Great job Jim and the RED TEAM.....................

500GB for a 4k short film. Thats amazing.

I asked my wife, "do you know how amazing that is?"
"No, not really."
I had to think for a moment..."Thats about the same order of magnitude of change as someone saying 'I just drove from here [maryland] to california on $50 of gasoline', this is going to entirely change the industry"
She shrugged, and went back to knitting. Chicks.

(I shouldnt be sexist, she believes in me enough to let me spend all this damn money on all this cool gear)

 

[Gavin Greenwalt]

Haha, that's right you are inspired to live up to our devotion. If you didn't the walls of your oakley research plant wouldn't need to be so reinforced just for show.

 

[Zack Birlew]

I didn't get a chance to shake your hand today Jim, but I'll be back on Wednesday to do just that and maybe again on Thursday too cause I like ya and all!:sorcerer:

Congratulations Jim on everything. Congratulations to the entire red team. And I look forward to congratulating you many times to come.

One of my favourite quotes from an article I found when first researching all things RED is the following. I think its appropo to this moment.

"This company invented a product category. Perfected it. Dominated it. Defined it. Set their own standards for the industry, then went forward to exceed all their own standards leaving their so-called "competitors" in a swirling vortex of obsolescence."

 

[Aiden Cornwell]

I am very excited to see RED ignore all the people who said it can't be done. I was listening to an interview done with ZOIC (Company behind VFX for Fox show DRIVE) mentioned the RED Camera and hoping to impliment it into their production line.

P.S. When are you coming out with the Red shirts, and huggies.

If you caught me and Blair this morning, you would have thought that we were on that show "amazing" race making a mad dash to the RED booth when the gates opened.

Haha... I was in that dash as well. As I jogged past a competitor's exhibit, I heard one of them comment, "Where is everyone running to?"...

 

[Daymon Hoffman]

Thanks to all who waited way too long to see our "stuff" today.

5. We announced development of a Professional Pocket camera, 4k displays and a 4k projector program. No ETA.

Jim

This is unreal. I can't wait for more information on this to verify its target. Hopefully i fit right in the RED Centre. BULLSEYE!

Great stuff RED Team.

PS. That sounds like a good slogan or similar. I want credits for that if someone uses it!

RED and Apple - a perfect marriage...

RED and Apple - a perfect marriage...

Just wanted to say thank you for your outstanding commitment to excellence. Your vision and amazing production team have crafted the most important digital cine system of our generation. Apple has proven to be an excellent partner in your development and its creation of the next-gen editing system that completes RED.

Kudos to RED and its families.

Sincerely,

cal_rimular

Jim you and the RED Team are the heroes of NAB 2007. You are the winners. Hollywood is the next battlefield.

 

[Don Woods]

Thank you jim it was incredible

 

[Bret Weeks]

Without sounding like a gushing dweeb- It has to be the most amazing thing I have seen in 14 NAB's...

Honestly, I was like my 3 year old son on Christmas day... the line was long @ 9:30, so I ran over to the Apple booth and saw the 2K downconvert and hurried back to get in line... It was no bother waiting in line after a 2K teaser...

Seriously amazing stuff....

Bravo to everyone involved.

Mad props to you and your crew Jim! I glad I took a leap of faith, hey you only live once! Plus i'll be the only one in the state of Kansas to have one out of the first 1500 Reds (I think according to the map) Now if you could give a little more info on Red Jr. after NAB life will be good in the land of Ahhs!!!!
