  • 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 :)

So...

In 2007 I bought a RED ONE with a 4K Mysterium sensor for $17,500. At that time, just for reference, a Sony F23 (2/3" 1080P sensor) was $175K. Plus SR (RGB) recorder.

In 2010 I upgraded to the 5K Mysterium-X sensor for $5750 . I am now in for a total of $23,250.

In 2012 I traded in my RED ONE (credit value $17,500) for a $28,000 EPIC M-X package. I am now in for a total of $33,750.

In 2013 I upgraded my EPIC M-X to the 6K Dragon sensor for $9500 . I am now in for a total of $43,250.

Soon... I will be able to trade in my EPIC Dragon for Weapon. God only knows what that means...

This is Obsolescence Obsolete. As promised.

The Hobbit. Avatar 2, 3 and 4. Ridley Scott. David Fincher. You.

People do need to Study history
 
This is why I signed up starting with Red One and followed the journey ever since. THANK YOU!!
 
Ahhh the thread is no longer closed.

(Mods, feel free to take mine down as it has become redundant.)

As said before, In the RED wagon all the way my friend. Thanks for this great journey.
Cheers from Brasil
 
I did too and meet a lot of great life long friends along the way, thanks to you and your outrageously awesome co-workers!

p.s. I also bought an Alexa Plus 16 x9 S/N 4488 in March of 2012 for 110k, but sold in 24 months later because it was old and there was not an upgrade path what so ever and in fact 3 weeks after i bought it they came out with the 4:3 sensor and mine was already outdated and they even came up with a new name for my 3 week old camera....Classic, i.e. the old model....thank god i stayed with red!
 
Scarlet package for $16+K
traded in to Epic for $9.5K
upgraded to Dragon for $9.5K
some extras along the way …

… being part of it: priceless. :o)
 
Price aside what you get is creative freedom...those too young to remember what a stranglehold ARRI had on the young creative minds with prices so high that to build a reel cost more than all the upgrades combined, and I am eternally greatful Jim for what you've done to help us be free!!!
 
This is crystal clear...and ithe numbers are irrefutable. How anyone can bitch about this policy is beyond me. Thanks Jim, Jarred and all of RED Team for doing business like nobody else!

Never forget meeting you that day Jim when I purchased Red One #83...it was a great day and the journey continues. Bring it on.
I still have that Red One and the Titanium R you signed.


Thanks Jim.

Agreed, this is just some of the intangibles that came with the cameras.
 
Got the Red One, wasn't able to move on for financial difficulties... but I did always like that there was those opportunities even though I couldn't take advantage of them.

Felt like I went with the right horse regardless of my outcome.

Thanks Jim.
 
Dear Jim,

We love, love, love, what you have accomplished with Red, and LOVE what is in store for us with your new "Weapon" camera upgrade.

Oh, and I am addicted to RedUser because of your philosophy and your products. You have made my dreams come true.
 
I can't wait to grow and improve along with our cameras. I'm very grateful for this, Thank You!
