Panavision

That will be a great surprise!

The "old fellows" at Panavision never hold down their opinion about RED for anyone, and I mean anyone, that was willing to listen it; and it was condescending to say the least.
Actually, during the last NAB it was so evident their collective and exaggerated criticism that it didn't sound like something coming from a very established and respected company like Panavision.
We'll see.

ONLY 200?

I don't think that's accurate.

This forum is getting more fun than grocery store tabloid!

Their purchasing manager refuses to pay for new equipment by any means other than credit card. So given the credit card payment conditions and limits at RED, they have made down-payments of 10% for 200 cameras over the past couple months. When RED calls to inform them of camera availability, they can apply necessary funds from monies already paid and will eventually walk away with 20 RED One cameras, paid entirely by credit card. :whistling: :biggrin:


Disclaimer: This post is nowhere near serious and should not be taken as such. I accept no responsibility or liability for ideas I may have placed into the heads of others. Including, but not limited to, ways of beating RED's $7500 maximum credit card payment restriction. :bleh:

Very interesting... I'd love to hear about the 24 thing if it's legit. Hopefully it is! That'd be some fantastic footage...

Rodney Charters is a big fan, but there is no word that the studio would support shooting "24" on RED.

If memory serves, they shoot their show in two-episode chunks [a la "movie of the week" style]. Has there been any consideration into "testing" the cameras for a chunk?

Or am I just getting way too specific?

Sooooooooo, you're saying there's a chance?

So definitely no prototype in Rodney Charter's hands?
