^ as I said before:

just a little reminder that other tech is still out there and doing just fine thanks.

I am actually NOT saying that PC users won't tolerate Apple users. I know most PC users don't care...(I know I don't). It's just tiring to listen to NON-STOP "no one else in the world is relevant unless they shoot on Red". This thread's purpose is to update people to the fact that Red has renamed their S35 Scarlet to Epic Lite/Light (sp?). I thought...cool, fine, nice.

Every time a major movie is shot on Red, the crowing starts. Funny...I don't see Sony users barking at Panasonic users because Transformers 3 is being shot on a Sony product. So here's my point, ~again~ (in the context of this thread) Red renamed their product: (gasp)

just a little reminder that other tech is still out there and doing just fine thanks.

We'll survive no matter what it's named. Whether it deploys in 2011 or 2020. The film industry will go on.

If this is "offensive"......(and I know it is to some people) This is where it gets plain silly. I've seen the same near "religious" tone from people about Steve Jobs...and by extension Apple. Hey....Final Cut reality check: of the 87 nominated Emmys how many used Final Cut? ZERO. Have you ever heard of Avid?

So...if it's ~blasphemy~ and an attack to say:

just a little reminder that other tech is still out there and doing just fine thanks.

...no matter what you name your product.....you may want to check yourself. Someone on RedUser just called Jim Jannard "a prophet" (this entire thread was about how Apple's Qtime sucks and needs to be fixed BTW...it has been deleted because I was going to send you a link). No...I'm NOT giving my comments religious tones, (I didn't say that)...but it's my honest opinion that....we'll be just fine....and there are other options...and they're doing just fine too. If this is "an attack".....uh.....you may want to check yourself. Maybe this has gone beyond a "product"....and that isn't real healthy. :(

(still no bad blood....still sure everything will be fine)

BTW....I'd LOVE to meet up near Toronto (honestly), but I don't live near there....I'm sure you're a perfectly reasonable person with much to offer. Cheers!
 
"just a little reminder that other tech is still out there and doing just fine thanks."

I have no problem with this statement, in fact I believe very strongly in it.

"I'm sure you're a perfectly reasonable person with much to offer."

I assume the same of you, I did not mean to offend or open this up again, just had a rant in me and I needed to get it out.

have a good one.

p.s. my statement of the relevancy of your post was a little uncalled for as there are many off topic posts on the regular these days so I apologize for that.

Same to you S.Matthews....and welcome to DVXUser! :) Cheers to you and yours!
 
People who still post about Scarlet fall in the same category as misfits, who believe and play Dungeons and Dragons- both cases you are discussing something that is not real!
 
Well scarlet is real and exists(not as a purchasable product but the fixed scarlet has been built and is being tested), and not discussing something because it's not real? I assume you do not partake in any hypothetical discussions about movies, or character from fiction?

mah to each their own, have a good one and keep on playing D and D THE GREATEST GAME EVER!!!!!!

taking into consideration that Scarlet produced so far 15 seconds of footage I think we can safely say it does not exist beyond a concept.
 
That it has produced *ANY* footage means it is beyond concept. That is what we techie people like to call a "prototype". And RED have already said that they're basically finishing them up. Production runs are next. So, yeah. Don't see how Scarlet doesn't exist. Or rather, if you think that then you might as well assume any product that is forthcoming doesn't exist (which is silly, availability and existence aren't nearly the same - and a reminder: RED has been around for about 5 years. Since that time they've released RED One and now, after a 2 year R&D cycle, they're about ready for EPIC and Scarlet; makes sense?).

Jannard and his announcements are extremely scattered brained much of the time and your post is a prime example.

when the Epic finally comes out (and that finally seems real) i suppose many disgruntled people will be happy regardless of sitting and waiting for all this time with the annoying false alarms & delays. still for me though i dont have long term confidence on Red seeing how scattered they been or should i say Jannard has been. with only one guy sitting at the helm...thats scary IMO...especially since he so scattered as to what his company is & or should be from month to month. with all that said i still think the Epic will be a hot camera.

This one has run its course. Nothing new coming out of this besides people shouting over each other. Closing it for everyone's good.
