Production delay rumours?

[Onur YILDIRIM]

Hi; we were expecting the camera on late August according to the previous schedule... But now I see that there will be an additional 2-3 months delay... (http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=7464)

As the Red team always warns us not to plan productions until the camera is delivered; I'm sure everyone still dreams at least... about shooting on Red on/around the estimated delivery time.. At least, we prepare ourselves for a little more delay and say "we will postpone the project even for a month if the Red arrives late"...

...And there is a delay again which is natural and ok for many of us (including me).. Because we know it's definitely worth the wait!.. and like most of us, I also know how hard the Read team works and we do appreciate it ofcourse..

Yes, we've been waiting for a redvolution forever, so 2-3 months delay is no problem.. But, I only would like to know (if possible): Why is it delayed that much this time (2-3 months)? Is it simply a misjudgement?.. Is it the NAB?.. Is it the new cameras (Epic, Scarlet)?.. or a serious technical problem (regarding Mysterium or any camera part)?..

thanks.

It's been documented that it's a combination of several things, but it does seem a hell of a long delay. What we might hope is that, as it says in the schedule, the estimate is conservative (which they may have done to save putting it back again), and that in fact it turns out to be just a 3 weeks delay instead.

...let's just hope that it won't be 3 Birger weeks.
