Red currently is being run out of the Oakley Bunkers in Southern California, and everytime I visit I am impressed by the movement the team has made in the development of Red One.

Even though Red is being run as a separate company, Jim is leveraging the incredible talent and resources at Oakley to accelerate the progression of RED. This time I brought along the camera to show you guys a small peek inside.

Anyone who still thinks Red is just an idea in Jim's head and nothing more than a pipe dream, trust me, it's time to wake up.

I think I've seen most of that stuff before ... in the X-Men movies. :shocked:

Thanks for the pics Jarred.

Actually it is. I worked on a feature there ("Impostor" with Gary Sinise) and I'm sure that's not the only one that's used Oakley HQ as a location.

I'm a little bummed, I don't think these pictures proved that red is "not just an idea in Jim's head." They pretty much proved that Oakley has cool facilities for making sunglasses. :(

Not trying to rain on the parade, I think you just got my hopes up a little with the intro.
 
As mentioned above:

These are the pics he's "allowed" to show us.

It'd be pretty stupid for RED to open up so much that the competitors know exactly what and how they are doing things, dontcha think?
 
Holy guacamole, Batman!!!!

Okay, here's my 3 cents. Great workspace. How can you not come up with cool ideas in an office like that???

Here's the 4th cent: Jarred, you're a really good photographer. I'm sure having great subjects helps tremendously, but your composition is remarkable. Interesting angles.

Does Oakley allow visitors inside?
 
Very cool place.

I think Jared's just showing a few picks for those who think the guy is doing the camera in his garage. And for some of us anticipators who are going to need a little info. low this long 8 month wait... :)

Obviously, this isn't a scientific look at RED's development (and anyway the CCD is being spec'd elsewhere). Just a peek at the playing field.

Hopefully this will squash the "guy doesn't have the resources to do it" comments. Although RED is separate from Oakley, it helps to see where an inventors first dream was realized, and the birthplace for the inspiration and development of the next :beer:





Cheers.


PS - Did you kick some major butt on that basketball court Jared ? Or is your height just for show :grin:
 
I can totally see the exclusive RED footage screening for the early adopters being held in the Oakley theater! PLEASE!! :kali:
 
Yeah.. its an incredible theater and it can seat at least 400 people... so it is the perfect venue.
 
I still think that building would have been an awesome location to use for the "superhero's lair" in this upcoming HeroFest.

Cool pics Jarred, thanks for sharing! :thumbsup:

Peace,
Larry
