a public formal apology + questions

i am sorry to all who read the recently deleted post entitled 'dear jim'.
it was wrong of me to try to bring a smile to your faces.
that never to mention post marked the downfall of your society.

yes. a slightly off topic thread that was so controversial it needed to be completely erased from existence. i managed to save the first page of the thread in my cache. it will be printed and filed under things not to be mentioned.

again, i am sorry.

it did bring to light a few things.
there will be an increase in the amount of people, stupid people maybe, interested in the red. this means that you all will have to get ready for a bunch of people to jump on the bandwagon, not bothering to ready old threads, asking questions like...

will it do 24p?
can i take one of the modules off the cage?
i have a lens, does the lens mount hold lenses?
is the rail system configurable?
what does 4k mean and how much will the film stock cost per reel?
what does the red dot on the front do?
i am filming my kids birthday party on the weekend, the red is a bit cumbersome. do you plan on making a smaller version so my kids can be in 4k?
my son said something about a red. i wanted to buy him something nice for graduating junior high, is this a good present?
hello, my inglish is not so good. i am from the republic state of jimania. will the GUI be in my own language of oaklieen?
i just ordered five for my production house, just to clarify, it can go underwater right?
what flavor gum was it in the demo?


however these threads will not be deleted and they will be answered. because this is a nice community of pleasant happy people where the mod's don't abuse their power based on their own biases in anyway what so ever.

now for a serious question.
at last count there were aprox 500 reservations for the red one, by early next year (the release date) i could see that number tripling. however reservations do close october, so maybe only double. i assume they close october because you will produce that number of units initially.

after the release and the initial thousand production units are in the wild your sales will increase exponentially. judging from other camera history, you could expect to shift around 10,000 units in the fist year.

can we expect the price to go up after release for non reservation holders?
how many units do you expect to produce and sell initially?
what do you expect the wait would be to receive a unit in early 2008. 1 week? 3 months?



go see hack in a cinema near you. coming early 2008

regards
THE patrick jennings

Jennings...Dude.....

I realize that based on your own personal experience, you may not understand that most posts people make stick around for quite a while. You current post is a lousy apology, just so you know. As for the answers to your questions, 99% of them have already been answered, just use the search box and read until your heart's content. Then you may want to jump over to www.red,com (http://www.red,com) (In fact go to red.com first).

It is true that there are many stupid people in the world.. But there is a difference between stupid and lazy. You can't fix stupid, but lazy can sometimes be cured with a good work ethic or a strong caddle prod up the tushie. Since this is the internet, and my caddle prod won't reach you, I shall endevor to BEG you to do your own research instead of asking us to repeat this again and again.

Also, if you are to be a filmmaker, and ask others for money, stupid does not work well for getting investors.. Time to get smart, and work harder.

Good luck to you my friend

Jay

The drama .... (Sigh)

Now, do you really think this question is going to be answered ?
