Nice render!
 
After all that Sex Bombs in Las Vegas I would like to see the RED 4K Space Shuttle Launch Movie SOON here in EUROPE!!!
Or something like this HD video at

That could be a really fascinating to show at IBC Amsterdam 2007.

May I ask what's in the reflection? The heads have a reflection that I just can't figure out. Is it an office or a lab or something?

SI2K... maybe. Probably not.
 
How about a nice mushroom cloud over Nagasaki or Hiroshima with the Red logo coming out?

Yeah. Maybe a nice "concentration camp" theme on the next one. Sony reps going into a gas chamber.

EDIT 11 May 07: The poster I quoted has clarified that his intention was the opposite of how I interpreted his above posts, and has now deleted those posts. He was actually expressing distaste for the military imagery, but the sarcastic tone doesn't come over in a text based forum, so I apologise for the misunderstanding.

I'm considering deleting my own post except that it does address some of the bashing of existing Japanese camera manufacturers elsewhere in the forum. And the thread might make no sense if I delete, as it has been quoted in posts by other users.

Hmmm. :umm: Bit close to the bone :sad:

I'm definitely no fan of Sony's pricing policies and dripfeed technology, but that's just big business practice, and hardly unique to Japan. Look at Microsoft. When your primary driving impetus is the bottom line and your big shareholders, it makes good business sense to do what they do.

I find Japan bashing a little irrational. I mean when the Z1 came out it really was amazing. I still think it's a great value camera for what it's likely uses are. Likewise the HVX200, despite the P2 pricing.

Where Red differs is that the impetus for this camera was primarily to make a kickass camera for Jim's personal use, and he wanted to share that vision with a few likeminded people. Making some money on it was icing on the cake.

Now it could be a medium/high volume business success though, it will shake things up nicely and allow more people affordable access to professional quality tools. Japan will respond or surrender the market. I'm betting they'll respond.

Red's continuing advantage is that it's private, small, nimble, and personally invested and driven, but also unusually well funded for a startup. It looks to be continuing to develop products to undermine existing market strategies.

We all win in the end.

And no I'm not Japanese. :matrix: :calm:
 
Is this the only way the wallpaper will look?

are there going to be other configurations of the wallpaper?

heheh

I think you have misunderstood.

I suspect lordnumberzero is expressing his distaste for the military imagery.
 
Ride of the Valkyries came to mind.....

MP3 attachment option on reduser.net, please???

Irony doesn't translate well on this medium does it? I am sort of against the use of war imagery in advertising.

Hate to be that guy, but my grandfather treated radioactive burn victims in Tokyo as a WWII occupation force surgeon.

Maybe we could get a desktop with something positive and not a picture of the weapon that killed hundreds of thousands in a country that is now our ally.
 
I don't know much about the real thoughts of Jim.
But I "feel" some irony in these subject...

I don't think there is here a real celebration of war.

Btw, my father is an WWII invalid...

I think Godzilla vs. Bombs settles the issue for me. :)
 
My uncle, who I was named after, is a paraplegic from the Korean war. And no, we don't think use this imagery to suggest anything except that we are "at war with conventional thinking". You are taking this all a bit too seriously if you conjure up anything else in your brain.

Speaking of bombs, did you add the self destruct sequence option to RED like I requested???
