  • 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 :)

without them...we have nothing

pretty cool video showing how we are able to do what we do...without these guys/girls continuing to invest and innovate, none of what we currently enjoy in terms of convenience, form factor and cost per gig would be possible.

enjoy

I know that it's basically a long-form commercial, but it's a very interesting one, for sure. I'm surprised at how much of the final assembly and packaging process is done by hand.
 
That was pretty cool. I like one viewer's quote: "Holy shit. I live in the future."
 
I know it's all built in bits, but it still amazes me how something like this entire factory is designed, built and functions so well. Where would you even start designing this from scratch?
 
This entire video was shot on the Canon 5D Mark II DSLR with 32GB Lexar Professional 600x CF cards.
 
It's funny. Lots of the products made by the "big companies" have many little parts made by the little guys who license/sell their ideas/tech/bits to the big guys to market, distribute etc...

Assmbly line design engineering, or you can consult companies who have mastered this like Ford or Porche.
 
I like it. It has a very clean and sharp look that works pretty well for me… And the golden hour light at the outdoor-shots of the factory is just beautiful.

PS: I use Lexar on my Ricoh GRIII and Canon 7D and can't complain so far...
 
that stuff is so cool. Love those kinds of videos.

You wouldn't. That's why I get a little sour at all the Sony, panasonic, etc. Bashing. There is a massive amount of expertise, prior art, and trillions in investment to get to the stage where a small company like red can develop I high tech product like the Epic.

You can't just start from scratch even if you had the blue prints and specs for every factory and process in America. You have to build the factories to make the machines to make the next level of precision, to make the factories to make machines to make the next level, etc. Etc. Today's products are built on the work that companies like IBM, DEC, HP, Cray, Hughes, Lockheed, GE, then atari, and apple and Sony and matsushita and on and on, did to get us to this stage where you can get an fpga to develop on and then go to a fab house to design an asic using cores and processes that have been designed and tested, then develop just the specifics that you need for your application. Not trivial by any means, but much easier than it would have been 5, 10, or 15 years ago.

The Canon 7D has every right to look good enough on YouTube...after all, it records to the same codec as what you are supposed to upload. :rolleyes:

But back on topic since it's not about a DSLR... See how impressed we are with the manufacturing of the CF cards. Imagine how much more complicated it is to create the EPIC or even the RED One completely from scratch...

Not the topic but just to mention - I'm aware of that… Nonetheless this looks like it was finished right. I know so many videos recorded with the same camera that just die of bad post production, totally wrong grading or wrong handling at the shooting itself - here it looks fine for me (on most of the part), totally adequate for an image spot.

but back to the main topic…
I like the simplicity with the inserts to explain some of the steps -> maybe because I'm sick of the "creator/designer"-talk best known from the Apple product-spots already. The part where Jonathan Ive talks about how superior everything is (nothing against him personally - he's really good… but maybe someone understands what I mean).

Yeah, NeXT had a sweet factory back in the day.

I am pretty sure Steve Job's goal is to have each Mac be built and packed without any humans touching it before the customer gets their mac.

True. Someone with great talent knew how to shoot with the camera. Agreed...
