  • 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 Schedule...

We are all professional communicators, and good communication is the heart of the motion media business - visual, sound, and written. IMO RED has earned a grade of "A" for their efforts in communicating regularly with us through all these months of product development.

Limbo is stressful when planning our future projects, but RED has consistently included us in the design process, and updated us on its progress. Luck is the point at which preparation meets opportunity. RED was prepared and seized a significant opportunity - but 3rd party suppliers are always the "X factor" that can delay a technology project.

Thanks for the ongoing communication Jim. It's much appreciated. I trust that RED One will be finished and deliver when it meets your quality control standards. I'm not only OK with that - I expected that. I have 100% confidence in RED delivering the camera system, lenses, and accessories when they're ready - and trust that they will be top quality. As one of the guys who will first put a RED One camera system on the set/in the field, I appreciate that your quality control now may have saved me some potential headaches later. As with all new camera systems, there will undoubtedly still be some minor bugs, but if any major bugs are eliminated before the cameras ship, it will enable putting the cameras into real world productions situations that much sooner.

Larry the Cable Guy's quip is "Git 'er done!", but I'd add one extra word to that - "Git 'er done right!"

Thanks for being thorough on QC, and communicating with us clearly and regularly. I'd say ship the products when they're ready, and when you can, let us know a timetable for that.

Full confidence and support here...
 
Nuff Respect Jim.
What a stand up guy you are!
I am continuely impressed by your real world honesty.
Thanks for creating this project and thanks for being you!

best,

B.
 
My brother and I own a small tech company, and it took us a lot longer than we thought to get it up and running. But we take comfort in the fact that even a super-successful billionaire businessman like Jim runs into the same types of delays we did. It's just part of doing business, and you learn more with every project!

Rock on, Jannard.
 
I had no idea my "5 week request" would end up being a real target date..

I feel pretty special right now.

I'm cool Jim. I'm also sorry you guys have had issues.. It must be some pretty serious pressure over there.. Hope everyone is handleing it ok.

As for me, the longer the wait the better

Nothing more Jim, just appreciate you & RED Team has done all these hard work. I understand that you hope to roll out this baby quickier, perhaps this is a good time for you all to have some rest too, especially after the brilliant NAB show :D.

Or how about take the time to open few more holes in REDONE to slot in more CF or a built-in monopod that could pop out from REDONE body, that is fun.

Sorry guys, I find myself even more exicting in "waiting"... the longer you wait the better you get ! ha.
 
Thank you for the heads-up, Mr. Jannard. Please count on my continued support of your revolutionary project. I'm sure the wait will be well worth it.
 
What I find amazing is that RED can suffer difficulties with more than one supplier and it only sets them back a few weeks, maybe a month or two. I've lost entire projects on a much smaller scale when one supplier fails me.

Heh... I'm trying to get couple small orders for new hockey jerseys filled for my team plus a kid's team I sponsor. I can't even get a canadian sportswear supplier to ship two dozen common jerseys in a popular style to the local screen printer.
 
Maybe in the meantime we can discuss and give feedback to a RedMatte matte box design/render :)

Personally, it is a split to me at this point as to what I am more blown away with: the red project itself, or the honest way Red conducts their business.

Very revolutionary on both those accounts there Mr. Jannard. Thank you for the frankness.
 
I'll tell you what: by the time this whole RED project is done and in the can, a good writer at a top business magazine or maybe somewhere like WIRED could write one hell of a long and awesome article about what Jim has done with this. And what would it be worth if there were no ups or downs??

What we thought would be a quick fix turned out to require a re-design and re-spin.

I'm amazed that you are so open about your plans and problems, with your competition most likely lurking on this board. I think it shows that you have confidence that your bussiness ethos of communicating directly with your customers is something that no-one else in the bussiness can compete with. RED is truly a WEB2.0-ClueTrain-21st Century company. I have full confidence in you guys.

By the way, what does it mean to re-spin a circuit board?

H-E-L-L-O... documentary???

H-E-L-L-O... documentary???

H-E-L-L-O...

What about a behind the scenes... "the making of"... kick ass documentary of this whole project?

This is history in the making and it should be documented on....fil...er..ah... DISK!!

I'm sure there's some good footage already shot from "Frankie and the Protos" to New Zealand and the "PJ party"...and the domination of NAB.

This should be documented!!!

PS - I'm available - as of tomorrow I'm pau (finished) on a documentary.

aloha, :innocent:
