  • 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 :)

The beginning...

I've bumped into a few bugs here and there but nothing that a re-boot couldn't fix.

The images are gorgeous, the balance of the RED setup is amazing, I truly take pride in being able to shoot RED, it hasn't just lived up to my expectations, it's surpassed them!
 
Words fail to describe how I feel to be a part of this community. Jim, you are an inspiration to us all; your openess and honesty to discuss issues as they arise with us is a revelation in this dog eat dog world of ours. Your passion for perfection is outstanding.

We owe you and your team a great deal!

David
 
A new way to do business! Well done Jim! Thanks for taking this on! I agree with David, being part of this community has been a great experience!
 
Jim thanks again for your sincerity, that's really something big!

Early adopters are a bit of beta tester, etc... but we have a deal on the price of accessories, so...

But I do not aggree on "bugs are a non-issue", and hope that when our camera will ship, most of them will be resolved, as well as most option enable and REDCINE ready.

BTW, if you could stop with OS comment. It is not because you are not able to make windows run for professionnal work that nobody can.

antoine.
 
Thanks for being so open. Best of luck, Jim.
 
A very good friend of mine who is an A-List writer and director just finished his 2K DI sessions by viewing the results on film at one of the pre-eminent labs. He then saw the 2K CTL clip and other RED clips just recently posted and stated the he could not wait to "dance on film's grave". There's a lot of people ready to take the RED leap. I'm so pleased to hear of the first 25 camera delivery. Go RED Team!
 
Every re(d)volution have start but never has happy end...
...for greedy monsters :)
 
Thanks, Jim and Co. This whole project has the romance of a garage band, the excellence of a fortune 100 company, the committment of a family, and the beauty of a sunset.

Thanks for what you are doing, Jim, and how you are doing it. I wouldn't change a thing.

More like a sunrise????
 
I'm a happy "beta tester" for sure! The 4k images we've generated so far, in 3D and 2D are simply stunning, and overall the camera has performed like a champ.

As with any new tech product, there will be bugs. We've run into a few small bugs in the past two weeks of test shooting with #8, and #13. Nothing major, just small bugs - and I reported them directly to RED Team. Those reports were gratefully received by RED Team - they want to hear about them so they can tweak the camera firmware and hardware as necessary. As a camera owner I'd much rather report any concerns or glitches directly to RED Team than to drag them out into an open forum. My mission as an owner is to have my equipment work as well as possible, as soon as possible - not to embarrass the maker with public complaints.

IMO RED does business exactly how business should be done: straightforward, communicative, concerned for their customers, and with excellent products for very reasonable prices.

I've supported RED from their very beginning...and I couldn't be happier with the experience of it. These guys care about us and their product - in a personal, one-to-one fashion.

Thanks RED...
 
Jim,

I've been with you since the old Oakley bike grip days :red_bandana: , through my 20some pairs of Oakley Glasses :matrix: and now the RedOne camera :gun: . I knew from your past products that this Camera was going to be the ONE! Thanks for everything!
 
On that cable front, I noticed that if I wrapped the LCD cable around one of the side clamp pieces (the 3 flat sided mount that screws onto the rails, forget name at the moment, is the "frame" part to build on the side of a built out Red), to snug the cable in and not have it so floppy loose, it was tensioning at an angle where it plugged into the camera body.

The LCD didn't power up sometimes like that. If I plugged it in normally, NOT looped around the c-shaped mount, it ALWAYS worked.

BTW - I'm sitting at home, watching 2K ProRes proxies play out on my 60" 1080p HDTV set (via Octo Mac Pro, now safely home). Uncorrected, straight off the camera stuff. WOW it looks good, I can't wait to get into this stuff and start messing with it.

I'm with you on this one Gibby...
It's weird but, I have a strange feeling that I am part of the RED team and that our interests our aligned(?!) I know they put themselves in our shoes but, it's funny when you feel compelled as a customer to put yourself in the vendor's shoes?!!
It's a wild (RED) world...

I've been in this business now for 17 years, there's never been a new product (RED is much more than that) released without bugs and fixes.
RED is a remarkable camera, a whole new beginning for this industry.
Jim, your approach so far has been honest, direct, respectful and refreshing.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for all the great input !

"2K ProRes proxies" and "Uncorrected, straight off the camera stuff"

How do you make a 2k ProRes proxy ?

Cheers,
Damien
