  • 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 :)

Weapon 8k Queue

Come on guys, seriously?!!
You know the drill- been around for ever as far as RED is concerned ;-)
 
Red has been teaching us the art of patience over the years. It is gonna come in real handy as some of us wait for our Model 3s.

Given that NAB is next week and I am taking my camera, I will probably get notified then. Sorry folks, live demo has been cancelled, camera must go in for upgrade. :)
 
Heh heh to be fair we are killing it with shipping stuff when we said we would. . I've been very transparent just how hard the VV 8k is to make and how slow it will roll out... And I'm pretty sure it will be behind the demand for quite some time. 8k started shipping on schedule but will take many many many many months to even pretend to catch up with the wait list.

So jarred, when do you estimate Joe that is first on this little list will get his?

I am hoping to see all that you guys have learned on the 8k, and saw(http://www.hdvideopro.com/blog/nab-...coming-guardians-of-the-galaxy-vol-2-sequel):
As such, Codex is having a demonstration in the RED booth on one of the first big budget, post heavy 8K productions to require file management for that much information. “During NAB 2016,” says the press release, “Codex and SHED’s Matt Watson and Matt Tomlinson will present the 8K set-to-post workflow behind Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 at 3.00pm Monday and 11.00am Tuesday on the RED Digital Cinema booth (#SL1517)”. SHED is the production house in Santa Monica that offers the Codex solution for DIT productions. (If you can’t make the demo but want to check out the offerings, Codex can be found on their own in Booth SL6828.)

I can't make it to NAB, heck I'd go just to see that ... anyway you guys could record that or live stream it?

I know this is meant to put a quietus on our impatience and high expectations, and it does... but it also is disheartening.
Assuming by wait list you mean the early depositors?

Let me know if you do actually get notified, I can bring my CF Weapon to NAB for your demo with my compliments. Really appreciate your help last year calibrating my projector for viewing Geoff's test footy.

Jarred, are 8k cameras going out to dealers, like the RAVENs?... I mean simultaneously with fulfilling deposit upgrades?

Thank you Blair, that is very generous of you! Hopefully I have to take you up on the offer. LOL I do want to get together with you, Phil and some other DITs to discuss a special DIT workflow for CalMAN. I will probably start a new thread on that subject.
 
After many years, I've learned with Red that it's best to just place your deposit and forget that you ever did. Ignorance is bliss :-) Applying this philosophy to my Model 3 deposit that I've already forgotten about.
 
Whilst the Madman is not the first businessman to use up front deposits to gauge the market, you have to wonder if Elon was taking notes. In Tesla's case, I'm thinking they were also able to lower borrowing costs and backstop their stock price. Moreover, the better you can estimate demand - the better you can manage your supply chain. As Zeb would say - execution matters.

Not sure of the time stamp ,but my 8K order went thru on 5/11/15
 
Blair S. Paulsen said:
What do you mean by "went thru"? Is that the same as allocation? Don't want to rain on anyone's parade but...

No allocation , just want to be added to the the list!
 
It would be great if Red can give us a number for our 8K upgrade and then give us an indication how slow the queue is moving so we can guesstimate when our number might come up.
