Wow, just let me know when you want to set up shop on the East Coast. Maybe we can take over a wing of the huge new movie studio they are building right down the street from me.
 
Wow. I was beaming when I read the news.
Congratulations on another very cool development.
I am proud to be on the periphery of your wonderful journey.
Smiles and Cheers.

Just curious... will you be incorporating green construction when building RED Vegas?

Hah, now the party will switch over to the RED ranch. Who the hell
needs NAB anymore? I also imagine many companies are pulling
up stakes and leaving California.

Businesses leaving California... Duh!
Who's shocked that businesses restricted job growth in one of the most taxed and most regulated states in the union?
These trends will be exacerbated in San Francisco which is even more hostile to industry, and if the country chooses
protectionism against free trade and outsourcing, businesses will leave the country.
From the SF Chronicle: Jobs moving out of state / Cost, complex regulations cited by firms.
Excerpts:

Discouraged by high costs and strict regulations, just under 60 percent of California business leaders interviewed
for a new study said they have policies to restrict job growth in the state or move jobs to other locations in the United States....
The consulting firm [Bain] interviewed chief executives or senior managers of about 50 small, medium and large companies
with extensive operations in the state.

About 40 percent said their companies have an explicit policy to move jobs elsewhere in the United States,
with Texas cited as the most frequent destination. Not counting those companies that must stay in California,
such as retailers or health care providers, the proportion of businesses that said their policy is to move jobs rose to 55 percent.

Another group of executives, just under 20 percent of those interviewed, said their policy is to avoid adding jobs in California,
except when absolutely necessary.

Businesses are clamping down on California job growth because of high costs and a burdensome regulatory environment, Bain concluded.

The cost of doing business in California is about 30 percent higher than in the average Western state, largely because of higher wages and benefits,
according to the study.

Bain also attempted to measure the cost, uncertainty and complexity of California's environmental, labor and other regulations.
It constructed what it called a regulatory hassle index that took into account such factors as compliance costs,
the threat of lawsuits and delays in obtaining permits that hamper operations.

The index showed that "California is far worse than any other state in the union, by a very significant margin,"
said Jeff Melton, a partner in Bain's San Francisco office.

But, but, but I thought Arnold was supposed to fix all that after he bitch slapped Gray Davis? LOL! Yeah, nothing changes.

CEOs can bitch and moan about the costs of labor in California all they want. But when a single family middle-class home costs $1.2M and is STILL enjoying a housing bubble...yeah, they can keep paying as much as possible.

RED Digital Cinema has chosen Las Vegas to build the new RED Ranch Headquarters. Located about ten minutes from MaCarran International Airport and the Las Vegas Strip at the base of the hills in western Las Vegas Summerlin area, RED Ranch facilities will support design, engineering, manufacturing, sales, service and operations... plus a soundstage, restaurant, town center and limited housing on an 80 acre site.

We are committed to growing the RED program founded on delivering innovate shooting solutions based around the most advanced sensor program possible.

Opening is scheduled for 2010.

Just waiting to hear Ketch yelling Yeeee-Haaaa all the way here to Mexico when he finds out... :)

News: Japan was just hit with 7.7 earthquake. Strangely the shaking was only felt at the HQ's of certain corporations specializing in camera design and manufacture. Japanese geologists have preliminarily placed the source of the quake into Orange County, USA. Strangely no effects were felt over there...

Jim, I can take over the OC office. I will run a rogue, Kurtz-style project developing the 10K Red IMAX camera... :) :wink:
 
Looks like the plan is to turn RED fan group into RED cult.

Look at the evidence, the RED ranch is being setup with all the amenities to be able to remain within the compound!

The only thing that is not apparent is when the RED mothership is scheduled to arrive.

Think about it, it makes perfect sense. As they say this technology is out of this world... maybe that's meant to be literal!!!
 
Can I still walk in to purchase stuff in the Orange County office on the spot? Can I still drop off cameras for service (and pick up from service) in that office to save two shipping days?
 
Yay, this means all future Red gear will be well heat proof! Hurrah!
 
A helipad and a runway for private jets
A FAA controlled airspace, too
 
Red theme park....love it...but PLEASE don't forget the 24 screen 4k digital projection theatre with stadium style seating.. that will also host the annual RED FILM FESTIVAL for movies shot on RED. =)
