Countdown...

Well, i dont want to be negative. I even have a RED prepayment done. But i think the task you have now is more complicated than what you have done.

It seems to me easier to create some kind of device attached to a lense, lots of cables and some recording huge machine THAN to be able to ship a 100% finished product that really works as expected.

I think i am trying to say that the product might be almost designed and engineered, but the boring task of "marketing", "build" and "distribute" in an assembly line is what i am most afraid of.

the sensor is the monster hurdle .. thats the magic pudding. After you get a sensor that shoots 4k at 60fps, the rest of the stuff becomes just engineering.. something Jim has a history of dominating at.
 
Good luck to RED team in IBC! Your success would be great news for us all. I cannot be there but my friend is going to attend. He will present to you his HDD array which could be enough fast for RED ONE. All the best! I cannot believe that you made such progress with that small team and so short time! My hat down to all of you.:thumbsup:
 
I hear ya Mac :)

There are a lot of challenges ahead. And sometimes the enthusiasm may look a bit unbridled. I think many of us have one foot on the ground, including the RED team. The sensor was a big hurdle. But, there are plenty left (maybe not as big). I want this camera to be the MIG's of cameras - works anywhere, anytime, but kicks major a**. This is the first step in the rubber hitting the road, and by no means even close to the last.

And I don't think questions or concerns are negative, mate... as long as they're informed ones (as yours are). This is high performance and high stakes - RED team should expect no less.

And selfishly, I'm glad to hear you're getting a RED camera, Mac. You know we'll be asking for your scene files, settings and DP pov :beer: That's one of the reasons that I'm grateful Jarred set up this RED forum, so we (RED users) can get the best out of this cam together.

Hopefully, I'll contribute a wee bit too.

RED# wish I was higher
 
and about time! Now we just have to nag the local cinema plex to get one of those nifty... 4k projector things :thumbsup:

Yes hopefully everyone can give their own feedback and workflow tips etc.
Me, i can always post the "what not to do" tips:Drogar-Dum(DBG):

One day.
In the not so distant future.
The RED forum will have even more categories than two.

Artists rejoice !

Artists rejoice !

:beer: As an amateur filmmaker all my blessings and best of luck gos out to the developers behind red team. This new technology available at that price is a stunning achievement and I for one am standing on pins and needles.

To the people that wrote the facts and specs that made the camera, THANK YOU. :smile:

yes of course.. that day most likely will be soon.
 
what a nice birthday present! tomorrow i'm one year older and the red team will show the footage of RED ONE. its a rather small period of time for me but a whole decade for the camera industry!

props to the RED team. a short time ago we were speculating which camera would do the best "HD" picture, now it wount be long until there's a 4k cam available for a reasonable price.

keep up the great work! can't wait to check the website tomorrow..
cheers..
 
I'll be at IBC on Saturday. The plane lands 10:30, but the RAI Center is five minutes form the airport, so I can still make it.
I could provide some coverage - video, photo or even live if everything goes well. The press passes are taken care of, but I still have to check out the permissions at the spot.

We'll be in Amsterdam 'till Monday morning, so there's also a time to shoot an interview with RED team, if I manage to get through to them...

- or if Jarred can pull some strings......:)

'Hope there won't be any flight delays...
