  • 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 :)

Option Request :-)

I'm naming mine "Valentine" (French pronunciation) after Irene Jacobs' character
in Kieslowski's "Red". I hope she likes sitting on my shoulder. :)

Great choice.

and yes - who the hell's got helsinki!!?

i want zurich then - with umlaut Ü

martin


PS: and if not zurich - then.. ahm - pasila? kurvi? tukkurila?
 
Hmmm, maybe "MARS" 'cause the whole red planet/god of war thing is cool... or "BOSS" since my camera is 351... the muscle car buffs will get it.
 
I`d like my red to be called "Rumplestiltskin", which is subtly different from Rumsfeltstinkskin, that shady guy who appeared and sold chemical weapons to Saddam
 
I've got shotgun on "Dita" (#TBC).

And I've already go the domain name for it too. Why it needs a domain name I've no idea.
 
is "Handycam" available?

(joking of course)
 
The new revolution, RED

The new revolution, RED

I have named my production company and my first RED "VIDEO8Film". I have been preaching the fact that one day we will all be shooting video cameras to make motion pictures. For years people thought I was crazy, but I new one day technology would get to a point where this would become a reality.

I started experimenting making video look like film back in 1989 by trying to do linear pull-downs from 60 fields to 48 fields, on a convergence 90 using U-matic tape. Trust me very difficult and time consuming. After collage I met a guy in 93 and started doing video post pull downs using a modified DVE box. We wanted to develop a camera, and had the concepts of progressive scan long before it ever came out in camera form.

We had no R&D money to build this camera back in 1994, so we went to the big Japanese camera manufactures to pitch our idea of the camera to them. Every one of them turned us down flat. The common response especially from Sony was that, "the Japanese like the look of video so why would they want to make a video camera look like film?. Interesting how a few years and a person like George Lucas will change the mind of what the Japanese like.

I predicted years ago that these events would eventually happen, and you would be amazed how many people thought I was crazy. I am very happy an independently minded person like Jim is the one making my dream a reality.

My RED Camera will be called "VIDEO8Film" because, ladies and gentlemen, in a few short years film will be a distant memory. The only problem is we need to come up with a new word for "Filming" as a reference to a movie production shoot. I am tired of being on sets shooting f900 or vericam and everyone talking about filming. PEOPLE WE ARE NO LONGER FILMING ANYTHING USING THESE DIGITAL VIDEO CAMERAS. With regards to the RED, it is hardly even a camera, it is more like a super computer that happens to capture moving images.

I have a few ideas for a name change, but it will take some time to get into the vernacular.

Eg.

VILMING


Any other ideas?
