[Brian Broz]

...Now, shouldn't it be called "OctoMacdaddy"?

:-)

[Corrado Silveri]

wow...

2 stops more?....

[fightordie]

As someone previously said stop with the artsy farsty

[Steve Connor]

Such a tease!

[Alex Boothby]

Now we're talkin'.... Are you guys selling matte boxes?

[Jarred Land]

heh heh heh..

well i can stop if you guys arn't happy...

[Corrado Silveri]

Looks like a Chrosziel,
but I'm not sure....

Great, anyway...

[Anders Holck]

The mattebox looks like the Arri MB-20.

[Jarred Land]

MB-20 V2 to be precise.. and stop messing with the photos :)

[Mardi_Gras]

How come everything about this camera just happens to look out-of-the-ordinary. What a coincidence :unsure:

[roryhinds]

why is it so dark?

turn on the lights dude....

[Peter McCully]

Jarred, it's a thing of divine beauty and grace.

[Obin Olson]

OMG is that a REAL photo and not 3d??!?!?!!?!? please please please open up and put a bit more light on it PLEASE!?! :)

[Vincent S]

This looks great, the LCD design looks amazing. So nice to see real thought and art put into designing hardware.

[Ace]

Ready to go to battle...

[Ace]

I love this shot. Jarred, you got a real good eye. Its like a pirate ship in the dark sea flying its flag proud and high. Arrr.

[Corrado Silveri]

Sorry Jarred,
just curiosity: why "Macdaddy"?

[Chris Gearhart]

Oh ho ho ho HO! Easter Egg! Easter Egg!

This is so beautiful.

[Brook Willard]

Holy shit.

[Mark L. Pederson]

Just awesome Jarred!

How about a screengrab from REDCINE?

After all ... it's Easter.

[Brook Willard]

Ok, recovered.

So is this RED ONE #1 or a final prototype?

[Cam McGrath]

Wawaweewaa, is a very nice!

[Tonaci Tran]

I remember Jim saying that #1 will probably be born on the 12th, though things change of course. either way..... OMFG

[PaulClements]

Looks great Jarred, many thanks

[Alexander Nikishin]

Jarred you're such a lucky guy it makes me grin with envy!

[Alexander Nikishin]

BTW folks, if you just eliminate the contrast on the picture you can see everything exposed quite nicely! lots of light.

[Alexander Nikishin]

The EVF looks great mounted on the Red Arm!

Jarred, what sort of lens is it strapped to in this pic? Also, please tell me you have the other angle showing the operating side of the Red ? :whistling:

[Patrik Forsberg]

Not as purdy. But sort of readable. Sorry Jarred:-)

[Corrado Silveri]

Again (sorry) why "Macdaddy"?

[Jarred Land]

I love this shot. Jarred, you got a real good eye. Its like a pirate ship in the dark sea flying its flag proud and high. Arrr.

Jim has taught me everything I know...

[Brook Willard]

RED ONE body: $17,500
RED Premium Production Pack [well, parts of it]: $2,750
RED EVF: $2,950
RED LCD: $1,700
RED ARM: $175
RED DRIVE: $900
Cooke S4/i 65mm: $16,750
Arri MB-20: $3,489.83
Arri FF-5HD [or something]: $4,619.68



$50,834.51


P.S. - is the FF on some sort of adapter bridge plate to raise it to the lens?

[Ken Corben]

Again (sorry) why "Macdaddy"?

It's American slang.

macdaddy:

The pimp-meister, the king of the streetwalkers, possessor of the blingest of bling-bling. The mac daddy is the man who means everything (and the only man who really means anything) to his ladies of the night. "Oh baby please give it to me - you ma mac daddy!"

Or in this inference by Jarred: the biggest, baddest, of anything.

[Michael Schrengohst]

You forgot the batteries

[Brook Willard]

I see no batteries. The LCD also isn't plugged in. ;)

[Jannard]

OK... we'll stop posting until we can get all the pieces together. Should be a few hours before the doors at NAB open. :-)

Jim

[Shawn Nelson]

Dang...a camera with sex appeal :-)

[Hrvoje Simic]

OK... we'll stop posting until we can get all the pieces together. Should be a few hours before the doors at NAB open. :-)

Jim

well, at least something for folks 6000 miles away that day... :(

[Alexander Nikishin]

Jim, a year ago I thought you were crazy but I trusted you. Today, I am finally able to show a picture of my rig that shows the genius of what you envisioned. Yes, I am a Red fanboy.

[Brook Willard]

OK... we'll stop posting until we can get all the pieces together. Should be a few hours before the doors at NAB open. :-)

Jim

No! No! Not what I meant!

Ah... crap.

[Jarred Land]

I see no batteries. The LCD also isn't plugged in. ;)

I think those words just killed the gifthorse :)

[Don Woods]

No Jim please.. Don't stop. It is so beautiful...

That is a damn fine camera and I do think it looks like something to shoot a siriouse shoot with. Very nice.

And i like the tease photos Jarred keep it up

[Don Woods]

Damn you Brook Damn You...... :angry03:

[Brook Willard]

I think those words just killed the gifthorse :)No! Those words were in reply to this post!


You forgot the batteries

...assuming it was related to my little list!

Ah, crap. I've doomed us all.

[falls on sword]

[Alexander Nikishin]

No more Red Easter bunnies for you Brook.

[Jannard]

OK, Brook. I've always liked you. We'll keep "leaking" out pics as we can... some without cables and batteries.

Sleep tight... RED is awake.

Jim

[Brook Willard]

And I'll be sure to quote the posts I'm responding to from now on... :)

[Ivan G]

[falls on sword]

LOL! Jim, were just hungry thats all. How about starving.... So when you throw a little meat are way we go nutz! Now, how about a little more meat....:biggrin:

[Alexander Nikishin]

How about the reverse angle of the macdaddy?

[Don Woods]

OK, Brook. I've always liked you. We'll keep "leaking" out pics as we can... some without cables and batteries.

Sleep tight... RED is awake.

Jim

For someone reason that really dose help me sleep at night

[jbeale]

I see that group of four connectors at the back (LEMO type? a compact BNC replacement) look recessed- clearly a good design feature for mechanical protection. I wonder if the EVF / LCD cable will be available with a right-angle connector. Anyway what you've got there looks perfectly serviceable. Congrats to the team on getting this far, I'm sure NAB will be quite a party!

From what I can tell, the connector side of the camera looks to be nice and flush when no cables are connected. This suggests some kind of a panel could be easily made that fits flat against the camera, with cutouts for just the connectors in use at a given time, to protect the unused ports. Ideally it would quickly reconfigure to open or hide any specific port. Hmm...

[JVB]

that is just so rad!

[Michael Schrengohst]

Imagine what that rig will look like on top of one of your MOCO heads...

[Jaime Vallés]

That's beautiful. Great photo, Jarred! I can't wait for NAB to see more.

[JVB]

....that would be sweet.

[Don Woods]

I wanna see it on a techna crane.... with a spider head

[Shawn Nelson]

Take that shot of Red and make it a pull it out centerfold in Maxim and see if anyone complains... :-)

[Evin Grant]

That is sooooooo sexy!

[Ken Willinger]

I wanna see it on a techna crane.... with a spider head

Screw that...I want to see it on my tripod out on a job!

[Alexander Nikishin]

I'll settle for seeing it in person with my own eyes.

[Jannard]

We are making another change to the left side of the body. We worked on it last Friday and hope to sneak in the change before production begins.

Jim

JimIntriguing... Any more details than that? Or am I asking too much after the little "incident" a few pages back? :)

[Ken Corben]

WOW!

And to think this camera is REAL and will be in the hands of offhollywood and Gibby within a few weeks.

Sky's the limit?

RED on location in Africa later this year?

In your face!!!

[Don Woods]

I totally agree. That will by far be the best..

A new change very interesting.. I'm excited..

[Jarred Land]

A new change very interesting.. I'm excited..

Thats kinda the RED M.O... everything will change, count on it.

[Andrew Benz]

Jim
I really love the fact your HUGE Industrial Design Team is still able to turn on a dime and continue to refine the camera right up until production begins. Still though, jamming it through corporate had to be a tough battle. Jim, you must have connections.:biggrin:

All corporate sarcasm aside, I love that when she is unleashed unto the production world-- that will be her least capable day. The process of development and refinement does not grind to halt. This is only the beginning, looking forward to growing with my camera.

Great shot Jarred, she makes the Potemkin look like a dingy. This is really happening isn't it?:usd:

Cheers- Benzo

[Don Woods]

Thats kinda the RED M.O... everything will change, count on it.

And that is why this camera will be on top for many many years. RED is not afraid to change and grow unlike another camera company we all know and love S O * Y

[steevo435]

Thats kinda the RED M.O... everything will change, count on it.
Yeah, best of luck to the first and second generation red owners.
As with all new technologies, never buy the first.:sarcasm:

[Jason Francois]

Man, just when i start thinking that I really don't need this camera you guys go and pull something like this that makes me say, "need or not, I've got to have it".

Looks beautiful. Made my heart skip a beat or two.

[Don Woods]

Yeah, best of luck to the first and second generation red owners.
As with all new technologies, never buy the first.:sarcasm:

I look at as adapting a new technologie first and riding the way has lead allot of people to sucsess. With no guts there is no glory.

[Seth Larney]

She's looking the biz guys ! congrats !

Our "huge" industrial design group... is two people.

Jim

[Anders Holck]

Jim, I think that was meant as a joke. Should have been "Huge", I think. We know you are two buzy working bees :-)

[Jannard]

Matt and I are about all you get with the industrial design... and Matt gets all the credit.

Jim

Hey, by the way, don't forget the inside. 'That original 128k Mac was cool:

Yeah, I knew that, I just wanted you to re-iterate that amazing fact for any of the uninitiated.

Jim, I think that was meant as a joke. Should have been "Huge", I think. We know you are two buzy working bees :-)
No doubt Anders, now my question is... "Who is your hard working number two?" Since, I cannot get away for NAB, I could only placate the crush with "hell or highwater" plans to fly out and pick my camera when that time comes. I would love to meet and greet as many of you guys as possible including your number two.

*edit* "Matt and I are about all you get with the industrial design... and Matt gets all the credit.

Jim" Well then, thank you Matt for all the hard work.

Cheers-Benzo

[Sanjin Jukic]

It’s a dream come true photo of the RED ONE™ camera.

[Anders Holck]

Is this #2?

(The guy behind the camera of course)

[Andrew Benz]

O.K. Anders, wasn't he also on the "Frankie goes to the Drag Strip" shoot? Thanks man...

Warning OT!!!!--

Jim, I LMAO regarding your response to... (no offense Gary)
Dude--"Let me ask you an honest question... do you really care what we think?"
Jim (this has been edited)--"Actually... no. From the beginning, this board has been..." "I guess there is some satisfaction that this board has inspired us to continue. "
Understated, completely accurate (that is to the rational) and sublime.

This post reinforces that all is well...

[Daniel Reichenbach]

wow...

2 stops more?....

It must be dark in the REDlight district, that pushes the fantasy :clown2:

[Jannard]

The C.COM guys are going to have a BIG surprise at NAB... gotta love 'em.

Jim

[Sanjin Jukic]

Yes Jim I totally agree and just read on [cml-future-cameras]. The RED Revolution starts at NAB 2007 for sure.

[Brook Willard]

Right up until I steal your thunder with that 8K camera...

[Tonaci Tran]

REd Station is fully operational. awaiting your orders commander.

Please get it in there, I wouldn't want anything less than the best that you can create for my sake and the industries as well.

[Mardi_Gras]

Honestly, Jim, with the way things stand now, they, like every other doubting thomases have become irrelevant, or better still, the first casualties of the revolution.

[Adam C Lubkin]

Jim seems really stoked tonight. That can only be good news. :)

Well we're one week off until the big show, I'm pumped as well!

[Steve Connor]

Well we're one week off until the big show, I'm pumped as well!

True - in one weeks time we should know a lot more. I'm looking forward to seeing how the workflow has been integrated into NLE systems.

I'm just assuming the pictures from the camera are going to be mindblowing based on the (barely concealed) confidence in the RED team posts here.

It's great to see RED One with all the toys on, I think that's going to help a lot of the doubters see it as an actual camera rather than a concept.

[Craig Bowman]

Thanks for the last minute Easter present Jarred!

The images and the workflow will be the key factors in Red's acceptance so yes, I too look forward to the same.

I'm looking forward to certain people eating a whole lot of Crow Pie at NAB.

I'm a little slow, so this quote is gonna be eating away at me all day if someone doesn't let me in on it. So guys, one of you email me at jinxmedo@yahoo.com and tell me who C.com are please, or at least gimme another hint :greedy:

Back to the Red 1, I'm gonna take this baby and pimp it out ghetto style. You'll see, I'm gonna be scratching and sampling with this baby-straight from Harlem World...BTW, that was a methaphor of some sort...hahaha

If we could get leak of one screen shot of REDCINE GUI, it will make us very happy here.

Maybe one dim shot of the main screen?....maybe….?

[Jaime Vallés]

understatement of the decade.
Oh, man. This quote is going to keep me completely unproductive all day long! I have to do some actual work, and here you go and say something like this. Dammit, I'm gonna spend the rest of the day lurking around here just waiting for another tidbit.

REDUSER is crack!!!!! CRACKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED MY FIX!!!!!

[Damien Molineaux]

Thanks for the pic Jarred. It's nice to see all the camera connections with labels. There was a post recently from someone a little worried about not having seen any labels so far. Any chance we could see s close-up of those labels. I know what they all are, thanks to the connections picture, but I would love to see them up-close. I tried it in Photoshop, but the res and jpg compression don't hold up. How about giving us a raw file of this picture ?!

Regarding the conncections on the back, according to the connections picture, there are two additional power ports, what are they for ?

Cheers,
Damien

That was me Damien.. You can imagine the sigh of relief that came from my person when I saw Jarred's photo.. Although, I was not that worried.. It was a pretty obvious thing.

As Jim well knows, I have been flamed more than I want to admit on C.com for trying to state my opinions over there.. It smarted sometimes.

[Jeremy Hughes]

Nice picture Jarred.

Nice camera Jim. (and Ted, Graeme, Stuart, James, Rob and Jarred)

[Jeremy Hughes]

Posted twice and had to edit to hide it. :)

[Michael Schrengohst]

Ok, admit it....
How many of you printed those shots out and tacked em on the wall?
My wife thought I was lookin at porn when I was goin OOOHHH AAAAHHHH!!!

[Paul Hazlett]

you guys at red better watch out.

the many addicts you have created here could spur a government
crack down on this site.

[Hrvoje Simic]

Our "huge" industrial design group... is two people.

Jim

What, you and 3D guy? :whistling:


Matt and I are about all you get with the industrial design... and Matt gets all the credit.

Jim

Ha ha great, knew it.
Well, that's p-r-e-t-t-y fine with me.

Oh no, wait !
Why didn't you hire a team of designers so they can decide what's best for you ?
:sarcasm:

[Mike the beginner]

understatement of the decade.


That's what happens when you work with a mad scientist:sorcerer:

You have got to hand it to Jim Jannard though, the creative eye and the artistic flare this man has is trully awesome.

I wonder how long it will be before another camera company comes out with a camera with eh......similar style:turned:


I have no doubt Jim will be the perfect gentlemen when he re-appears on the C.com forum. I am sure some of those guys just felt that there was too much ephoria about a camera that was not in production, thats all. Many of them will come round and realise that us red user fanboys were onto something that no one else realised was going to herald a new beginning.


Mind you there are a few that are going to continue to rubbish red no matter how brilliant the camera turns out to be.

Dont you just love how they continue to try and improve days before production begins. Is that not simply brill.

Mike the beginner

[Petr Dvorak]

Thanx for this cute spring newborn Jim!

[Steve Gibby]

Whoa...I take one afternoon/evening off from the forum to hang out with family, and what pops up: a kick-ass pic of RED One all tricked out for battle, 12 pages of posts, 114 replies, and 6409 page views so far! This kind of happening really makes a guy paranoid to take the night off...

Jarred...nice pic - you've definitely got the eye for lighting, orientation, etc...

Design team: very well thought out designs, individually and as a whole...

All RED Team: thanks for hangin' in there through these many months of 8-day workweeks. The results look way cool...

Macdaddy comin' to da NAB house...gotta love that!

[Zakaree Sandberg]

i officially want the LCD also now.. HAving that sick ass "RED" logo on it just makes the camera look so BA

[Jaime Vallés]

i officially want the LCD also now.. HAving that sick ass "RED" logo on it just makes the camera look so BA
Very true. I might be in the minority here, but I actually like the idea of not having my eye stuck to a viewfinder all day long. If the LCD performs as advertised, I'm sure I'll be extremely happy using it as my main monitoring option. Maybe someday I'll get the EVF, but I'm starting with the LCD first.

I'm with you on that too. I guess the old school guys who are used to optical viewfinders can't go without the EVF. My red will usually be on a tripod, dolly, or jib most of the time anyway.

[Alex D. da Silva]

...awsome!!!

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Wow, I turn my back for a bit more than a day and BAM!

...I wish I was going to NAB. The camera, EVF, LCD, etc.. all look amazing. Can't wait to see more views and see one in person.

[Rainer Fritz]

i'm lovin it....

Looks beautiful...
Too bad I'll be shooting this next feature on a Panavision package...:glare:

Jarred, you did a great job in assuring that mystical feel.

Design impressions:

slick, intelligent, powerful

summed up feel of the lcd:

respect

[Vincent Rice]

Seeing RED #1 loaded and ready for its close-up really starts to bring home what a monumental achievement this has been by the RED team. I hope you guys are ready for the onslaught because I suspect things are about to get completely MENTAL :bleh: ... in a good way.

[Ken Corben]

I can't believe something this sexy is actually slated for delivery in a few weeks. Offhollywood and Gibby could charge admission fees just to hold the sexy beast. You lucky dudes...

Let's return IT:

Just a question:
The connector on the rear of the lcd are the only one on the chassis?

One more:
Where are my two Reds?

:mellow:

[harlan]

looks great!!! I only hope that RED make some of their own studio lights, perhaps then you could illuminate that sucker and we could actually SEE IT!! :)

[Obin Olson]

RED needs *NEEDS* to produce high quality studio level HMI lights. they are a SCAM like the The VariCam was till RED came around...now panasonic is making a 2/3 dvcprohd p2 cam for......$14k????

let me fall off my chair now and roll around in the floor LOL ...you have *got* to be kidding me!!!!!!!!!!!

[Obin Olson]

OMG and the poor producer that bought a VariCam for a film less then 1 year ago, for...drum roll please.......$65k for the body.

may his soul rest in peace, I think that was his new grave I drove by today.

[Harmonica]

Love the new LCD design! Big improvement on the old render...
