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

Briferg of the RED Team is already on it! He was at the L.A. screening shooting on an HVX.

A making of documentary would be a perfect filler to the RED shipping package.

I'd watch it prior to shooting my first shot on the RED ONE as a remeberance of the year spent salivating over the camera.
 
I vote for that too. I'm sure it would be very entertaining to see (or hear the stories of) the behind the scenes process when we where all waiting and posting.

Best idea I've heard all week!
 
Thanks for the update Jim

Keeping the customers informed is definately a welcome change from the at-arms-length corporate public relations.

Red will inevitably become a sizeable company, and I hope this community minded attitude towards the customers will continue.....even if there are 10,000 of them.
 
For me personally, that mid-June schedule will be the single most important info release in the camera's history. A lot of what happens next with RED will be answered at that time, one way or the other.

I was just reading a thread on the lens mounts and how increadibly accurate they have to be in order to keep correct focus. It's things like that that give me a small insight into just how difficult and somewhat dangerous this project is. RED is really pushing some things that are difficult for everyone. Have you stopped to think about how major it will be to have a camera that can take so many lenses!? To make a mount that really works well again and again requires some amazing construction, and some top-flight materials. Jim assured us that the solution RED has will work fine, but the subject made me realize that this is an INCREDIBLY COMPLICATED PROJECT.

I expect we will see a schedule in June, but I would not be at all surprised if the release dates begin sometime in late July or early August. Another one of Jay's predictions? Perhaps... :)

The cool part is thanks to Jim's post, we are all moving forward with our eyes open.

Don't think so! It will probably be no sooner than... I'm afraid that most of us we're pushing Jim where he can't go and to our dreams (no) matter.
 
Delays

Delays

It is very common to have delays, failed suppliers, unreliable vendors and back-to-the-drawing-board engineering on a project of this magnitude. What is uncommon and to my mind, most exciting, about the entire Red project is the complete lack of a "marketing" and "public relations division" separating Red Team from the End-User (All of Us).

I wouldn't be here cheering on Jim and the rest of the Team if all we were getting was some canned, programmed marketing double-speak in the form of a lame press-release. I'm glad to hear that cracking this nut ain't easy. It shouldn't be. This camera pushes the envelope in all directions and when we all get our hands on it, we're going to create amazing cinema with it.

This situation of complete honesty is unheard of, and I'm confident that the product that emerges from this design culture will be an extraordinary piece of equipment. Thank you for taking the BS out of the equasion, Jim. I've waited twenty years for a camera like this. What's a few more months?
 
Unless you're extremely unlucky, I can't see how it's going to make too much difference to most of the reservation holders, since most of them wouldn't have been expecting delivery until later in the year anyway. Generally the further down the production line the better the product! More time to save up if nothing else!
 
Wow, J you really put the hammer down on mike with closing that thread and all so quick....makes me wonder why?
 
Obin,

I was definitely NOT trolling, I politely expressed my honest opinion (which I still think is very valid and was not expressed improperly in any way) and I am also stunned that my thread "More DR - Still the truth?" got moved to "Off Topic" (which is not) and got locked in less than 5 minutes. It was definitely contrary to what this forum stands for.

While I do not agree with Jarred's opinion and actions he took on my post, I have the highest respect for him so I accept it.
 
One thing I was wondering was how the delay would not affect later reservation holders. There are plenty of non-red employees on this site that are saying that only the first hundred or so will be affected. How is that possible? The plan was to ship out the first few cameras and ramp up production. Is that not the case anymore?

On another note, how are the red lenses coming? Those shouldn't be delayed by the respin. I know the 18-85 was put to bed for a while, but that's really the only lens i was interested in buying. All the other lenses look great, they're just not financially feasable for me right now.
 
I don't know you Mike but I don't think you need to sugar coat it around here. It was locked. and pulled fast. not the usual love I feel around here...wonder why..

I thought you had a valid point. IMHO and you had NO negative in your post IMHO.

maybe they know something I don't, do you work for Sony? etc?
 
You know what they say about idle hands - maybe it's true of idle minds, as well.
 
He he, of course I don't work for Sony. I'm just one of the many customers here.

Let's just put this to rest. If Jarred thought my post was a threat, he was wrong -- anyway it doesn't matter anymore.
