  • 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 :)

Ted leaving RED?

My moving on from RED should not be taken in a negative light. it's a good step for me personally, and I genuinely believe a good step for RED as a company. People move on, change things up, take new risks, learn new things. thats what makes life so interesting and compelling.

People are afraid of change but often it's the best and most positive thing.
I'm also making big changes in my life this week and while it's scary, I know it's the right thing.
Good Luck to you for the future.

The commentary's tenor, above, is as compelling. as it is a bit disconcerting. The community is, apparently, in turns, pining over Ted's disengagement, from Red, and opining, on his future course. What does not ring true, to the casual observer, if there is such an individual here, is Ted's comment, that "...My moving on from RED should not be taken in a negative light. it's a good step for me personally, and I genuinely believe a good step for RED as a company...". End User investors, in the Red brand, it would seem, can't have the same reassurance, without Ted's , Red affiliation, iff the company's current operating structure is to persevere. Nevertheless, maybe the Lou Gehrig, for Ted, is standing by and this will be a good step for Red, but Ted has left some pretty sizeable spikes to fill...

Thanks Ted!

Thank you very much

I am not going to say goodbye to you, Ted, insofar as:

a) correct me if I am wrong but I don't think you are leaving the planet, and
b) I am certain you will make your presence known again... you are that kind of a guy!

:smiley:

Be well.
 
I had the chance of talking with Ted twice: at June 2012 REDucation, and at NAB 2013. He is absolutely one of the most down to earth, easy to talk to guys i've ever met. His intense passion is something I strive to match in my own career.

Ted, I wish you the best of luck wherever your career takes you! You have inspired an informed an entire generation of REDusers! :)

Regards,
Alex
 
Thank you Ted for your passion and excellence. In so many ways you were the face of Red and a driving force for its success. Your gave your knowledge unconditionally to help all of us become better film makers. For that I am eternally grateful.
 
Ted,

It has been such a privilege working alongside you, Brian and the incredible REDucation team. Your energy and enthusiasm for every aspect of life as a REDhead are contagious and inspiring, and the familial atmosphere you fostered has always made my visits to RED Studios a special and rewarding experience. Thank you for welcoming me into the gang and for teaching me so much. Every second I've gotten to spend with you all has made me a better camera assistant and teacher. I wish you all good things as you move on to your next adventure!

I was just about to go to bed after quite the long day of responding to so many emails from so many people with such nice and heartfelt things to say, and then I thought, I'll take a quick look at RedUser before I hit the hay... I did not realize this outpouring of so many nice things was going on today here as well as in my email inbox, until just now.

It has been such an honor to be associated with so many wonderful people, with similar creative and professional desires and goals as myself, and to have built so many genuine and long lasting relationships with all of you, in so many places around the world.

The forum communication world has never been the most comfortable environment for me, and while I totally respect it's value and benefit to so many in such a powerful way, I simply prefer one on one interaction and in person group meetings, so this was my last order of business today, and I'm very glad I checked the forum before calling it a day... it was just a really nice way to end one of the longest and most memorable days in recent memory. (and I have a lot of amazing memories and stories of the last 7 plus years to reflect on)

My moving on from RED should not be taken in a negative light. it's a good step for me personally, and I genuinely believe a good step for RED as a company. People move on, change things up, take new risks, learn new things. thats what makes life so interesting and compelling.

Thank you all so much.

Ted,

It was a very special pleasure to have had the chance to personally meet you three years ago in Rome. Hope to meet you again wherever our ways will come to cross again.

If one day you'll need anything from Rome, don't hesitate to drop a bell or if not any, at least excuse for a new coffee and chance to see you again :-)

Good luck,

Emanuel
 
I wish you a huge and wonderful new adventure my friend ... For me you are the "leader of the rebellion" for ever !
 
There are few men who can really catch attention from an audience, with true natural personnality and a totally passionnate attitude.
Other people can talk way better about him, whom I only met once in ibc i think.
But the thing I keep from watching him is his very rare ability to talk about a product without "soundig fake" like 99% of the marketting and public relation guys I've seen/met/watched on videos.

One other thing I'll always remermber is Ted talking to a camera operator (I think it was nab 2009?) and saying approximately: Oh yeah, you're shooting HD, and, and that's great... while I'm actually shooting 4K.
He said this, not in a way to be rude, but in a natrural way, to make the guy understand that his brand new camcorder is already "has been". I laugh so much I had stomach pain ^^

Longue vie à TED !
 
Ted,
It has been a pleasure meeting you and speaking with you. Godspeed.
 
Thank you ted... you were awesome in the Chennai Reducation event and those 3 days with you and your team has changed my career for good. All the best Ted in your new endeavours :)
