  • 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 :)

Pretty easy to understand...

Everyone gets to do whatever they want. But there are some things to consider.

IMHO... a Pro should shoot the best original he/she can afford to shoot. It never hurts.

Shooting RAW is infinitely better than shooting an RGB codec. For a million reasons.

Upgrading a camera is cheaper than buying new cameras... over and over.

Having the ability to use many lens options/brands is better than being stuck with one.

Shooting a small camera is easier than shooting a big one... for a variety of reasons.

Free software and firmware upgrades that add features... is good.

Over-sampling is better than up-rezzing.

A company that listens seems better than a company that dictates.

Companies that actually deliver the future are better than those that pretend the past "is good enough".

Pretty easy stuff...

Dear Mr. Jannard.
we get you.
That's why I paid as much as the down payment of a house for my Red gear.
and already planning for another one.
thank you for the gift of RED.
 
what i think is funny, RED is the only company that makes a camera so awesome that every single person that gets one, takes a picture with it like its the first time holding a newborn child. Its that good. I cant wait to hear NAB announcements. Im gonna feel like those old black and white pictures from the 50's of kids sitting next to the radio waiting for their favorite show to come on. Im gonna be sitting on my computer, just waiting to hear the news.
 
Love everything about it! I'm not even gonna drink Sunday night at the party so I can be first in line Monday morning.
 
AMEN... (not saying your a GOD or anything)... but still these very simple facts are or so logical. It just dumb founds me why a lot of people (on this forum) think opposite to this logic.

O well.. thats why people prefer coke over pepsi... IBM over MAC... Oakley over Ray bans... It's what makes the world go around.
 
Years ago I remember seeing images that came into the studio off a Red One and that really did something to me. Working on the material for a while in post and following the progress of the company and camera closely only made me more interested. Mysterium X landed and that was a major hook in my mouth. By the time I went to a "Red Day" and saw what Epic was all about I was bit overwhelmed by how much I desired one. Working on some Epic material and actually shooting with one only made me want it more. Then sitting there on the November 3rd after being somewhat extremely underwhelmed by the previous announcement that day and seeing Scarlet X become more than what we expected... I had to pull the trigger and really get on board.

Red gave me a raw workflow, upgrade paths, regular free firmware/software updates, enough resolution to produce cinema quality imagery, a great deal of latitude, enough color depth to twist as I desire, and what I would call an exceptionally friendly post pipeline. I can put any lens on my camera and it freaks me out.

These are not just the things I want, these are things all filmmakers want. Red's been leading and paving the way for years. I appreciate the hard work that goes into these machines by the entire Red team. I haven't been happier shooting with any other system. And damn, when you see the material you shot projected it's just bloody gorgeous. Blows me away every time.

Jim don't get me wrong I love your posts @ 1 AM but next week please don't post these totally awesome thread's because i will need SLEEP after a long day at THE RED BOOTH :smiley:
 
Unfortunately, none of the above accounts for the single most important decision factor - emotion and subjectivity. Anyone can choose to shoot on C300 over Epic because "it looks nicer" (on a 2K display) or Final Cut Pro / OS X over Premiere / Windows because "it feels nicer" (using transcoded ProRes material) and there is no argument against it even though there are clear objective merits for the choice foregone. The good news is we have choice, the rest is up to the consumer.
