Pictures!!!

[Steve Connor]

How long before people manage to start reporting back on the demo footage, show's been running a while now.

Perhaps there's a crowd of thousands standing transfixed by the quality and no-one can tear themselves away!

There seems to be nearly 1700 people waiting to hear what they think :)

[Adrian T.]

The early birds are all stuck in the tent. No one manages to get out because of a huge crowd blocking the exits. :waaa:

[Jeff Kilgroe]

You just beat me to it, but I was about to ask the same thing... In other words, who do I have to @$#% to see some pictures? ;)

[Billy Summers]

Same.

[Corrado Silveri]

Second to that...
Hanging here, crazy mouse, red eyes, lot of websites open.... damn!

[Manfred Lopez]

I know that there is a user named 'Brake' who was/is there at the red both who saw the jackson demo and posted here on another thread... and then dissapeared.

[Eirik Tyrihjel]

Let´s start a riot!

[Hrvoje Simic]

I knew it.

This is all a hoax. :shiftyph34r:

RED eyes? You're transforming! Bad sign, bad sign... :bye2:

[Emmanuel Cambier]

:sad: Those in there are just a damn selfish bunch.

[b e n t o n]

Face it... Everybody at NAB is at RED tent...and none of them are leaving...

We may have some news by the end of the week

[Jeremy Hughes]

Who would want to leave NAB now? Just be glad you got in!

[Rainer Fritz]

not the greatest but thats all i got for now.. i made this page for my mom and my friends, but hey yall can see it too!


there is a line around the tent like a nightclub, only letting in a few people at a time (with a rope holding them back)

two bigbouncer dudes with red skull and crossbones shirts on.

mosh pit inside. have to stand on your toes to see anything. 4 or 5 (cant rememebr) red cameras all across the one wall. frankie, the spider, boris and natasha in the middle, kelly got a haircut it looks like, redcode native FCP6 / redcine demo. you can bypass redcine by using a red plugin thing in final cut (SWEEEET)

best things in the show so far: the 18-50 zoom thats the size of a damn PRIME lens. the SUPER GRIP zoom controller, can controll zoom, whitebalance, record and stop, control AUDIO GAIN, control FOCUS, ANYTHING, its alll user programmable.

throw that pesky, ugly, microforce AWAY ;)

[Vincent Rice]

Thanks Zak for throwing us a bone to chew on!

[Andrew Benz]

Hey Zak that's awesome thanks and please post in Paul's summation thread if you have time... thank again dude! The pics rock--they did get bouncers!

[Simon Blackledge]

nice...

is the guy in one of the last pics walking away reading brochure from Sony? looks well hacked off!.. lol..

[Adrian T.]

Thanks zak! I almost feel like being there...

[Thom Steinhoff]

Okay, guys, the footage was #*@?*#*!!! Amazing. I was in group 2 seeing the footage introduced by Jim himself who threatened bodily harm to anyone shooting the footage so I doubt any of the faithful will post it--youll have to wait for jim himself.

Everything is stunning--the viewfinder looks even better in person and trhe workflow promises to be amazing.

No doubts--the most amazing, game changing, camera in history.

Apple pro-res has the footage, too!

Gotta run!

Thom

[Jaime Vallés]

Finally!!! Thanks for the pics, Zak. Feels goooood!!!!

[Corrado Silveri]

Thanks, Tom!

I wish I'll be there... Crap!

Awesome! What's the footage like? Exteriors, landscapes, natural lighting, FX, green-screen...?

[Paolo Tinari]

hey you didnt shoot kelly's haircut!
btw, what the hell is the super grip. Programmable? With marks i can hit remotely?

[Eirik Tyrihjel]

Thanks Zak, and thanks Thom for the report!

[Joe Carney]

they did get bouncers!
That's to hold off those Sony ninjas!

[Steve Connor]

I've just been checking out Cinematography.com forums and it's pretty quiet. (Most people are probably viewing this forum) However still a couple of threads where the most pompous of DOP's can still rubbish RED.

It's like the dinosaurs watching the comet that's about to wipe them all out!!

[Hrvoje Simic]

Thanks, guys!
I guess we'll have to wait for the official stuff.....

Is there any other pro equipment booth there which oozes coolness like that one

Judging by the crowd it seems like the project was a total failure after all. Heheh.

Jarred looks exhausted...

[Andrew M.]

[Keith Nealy]

Thanks Zak -

the pix were great - made me feel Like I was there -

But you get to experience the mana - it must be awesome.

The SuperGrip looks like it will solve a lot of ENG issues and create some possibilities for different rigs.

thanks again

aloha,

Keith

[Alex Boothby]

Hilarious! I have one of those George Bush dolls: "Elite Force Aviator - George W. Bush". Makes me feel all patriotic.

[Thom Steinhoff]

All outdoor, completely unlike any test footage you've ever seen as it is completely shot like a mini feature. Tons of arials, explosions, etc " written and directed by peter jackson". Who else could get a legend to shoot the sample footage? Dozens of actors in period costumes, tanks, guns, dogfights, but most of all--filled with emotion and real film making.

If there was any green screen--it was flawless. Several quoted that it was shot over 2 days, a lot hand held by peter himself. Not a "video" shot in a single frame--just jaw dropping resolution and dynamic range. From the opening shots the room was completly sucked of oxegen as everone gasped at once.

Spoke to jim afterwards (he was totally available and jazzed) and he said it was just the begging. All of the footage was shot with boris (or natasha) limitations of one aperature and one shutter speed (180 degrees). As good as it gets--it will only get better.

We are in for an amazing ride!

[Eirik Tyrihjel]

We are in for an amazing ride!

I read you loud and clear, again THANKS for reporting, it is much appreciated!

It's really great that RED can say "Mission Accomplished"... shame George W/. can't make the same claim :bleh:

[Jared VanLeuven]

Here's some pix, sorry for the quality.

[Patrick Wynne]

Thank god I put my order in when I did :P

[Jared VanLeuven]

Just to add to the mix: they could sell the demo as a short. Seriously. Holy crap production values. Your jaw is soaking in it on the floor.

[Corrado Silveri]

Thanks Pixel!
Just one question about Jarred.
Just seen one picture with him that seems sooooo tired...
It's only an impression?

[Martín Yernazian]

Man the camera looks great and for the look of everyone it seems that this is history in the making..... for those that I read..."well if only 3500 scripts where good"
Let me tell you that happens on film to....

I wish the red team the best ... and hopefully in the near future I can own one of these babys.... or better yeat make a great film with it

Best

[Ken K]

I just threw some pics up to my Flickr page:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/chazm/

Enjoy! I know I sure did... commentary on all the hoopla coming later. Short version? F'in phenomenal. RED outdid themselves... simply stunning. Like I told Jim after I walked out of their theater, I got goosebumps. I'm so glad I preordered. :biggrin:

[Cory Schulthies]

Thanks Pixel!

He has an excuse, poor guy. it takes alot to shift a paradigm. But come to think of it he seemed tired when I met him at the RED Sundance party too. I hope those guys get some rest, I want them fully energized and alert so they can get working on my camera.

My friend at nab says that Jim's wife (I think, maybe Fiancé) spotted him $20 for lunch today in vegas because he didnt have cash on him.
now thats what I call customer service!

[Jared VanLeuven]

Thanks Pixel!

El, I don't blame them if they all hit the floor snoozing right now, they've been completely gracious hosts. Jarred is a stud, I've met him twice (once with his wife) and each time he impresses me completely, that pic must've caught him blinking or something, he's a very jovial dude.

[Zack Birlew]

Was there at the booth, no pictures was the deal on the film or else Jim would, quote, "beat the shit out of you, break your camera, throw you out of the booth, and make fun of you for six months" :) everyone was LOL-ing then because he sounded so dead serious but in a fake way, which is what made it funny.

My brother and I didn't get a chance to talk to anybody except Rob Lohman who spotted us and beat through the crowd like Sauron from the opening of Lord of the Rings to come say "Hello". We like Rob :biggrin:, we met him in person last year at the DVinfo.net morning NAB meeting, great guy. He told us in detail about the RED footage from New Zealand and how cool it turned out in such a short amount of time and we all unanimously agreed that the ending of the short was fantastic and absolutely hilarious.

To get technical, everything said about RED is true. There was no grain, I repeat, NO GRAIN. Everything was also crystal clear and very sharp, every blade of grass in the airfield for the scenes with the planes could be individually pointed out practically. The air footage spread all the way into the mountains of New Zealand dozens of miles away and don't even get me started on how good the clouds in the sky looked.

As far as a RED projector, mini camera, or display goes, I could believe it but as I said, we didn't manage to get to talk to anybody besides Rob and he was pulled away before we could ask any questions like that. But that's okay, we'll be back Wednesday and Thursday, so there's still a lot of time to go back and check things out specifically.

[Jeff Kilgroe]

I was thinking the same thing... He's just standing there, looking totally zoned-out. The poor dude is about to crash.

Hi Elcurado, no you're right, he was tired I guess, but what I have seen is more than I have exspected, was eaven not able to shoot pictures there was a 100 meter crowd the hole day and crosing the line looks definitively stunning. They shoot a kind of second war story with tanks and old planes in 2 days. Amacing.

[Daniel Reichenbach]

Forgott to say that the range of this camera is really stunning, from the white clouds down to the blackest black: everything perfect. The only thing I am asking about was something a shutter effect which was for my taste a bit to heavy. Don't now if this was the projector or anything else. Could be, the picture were sometimes this sharp, that could explaine the effect.

[Zakaree Sandberg]

just got back into my room... footage was amazing. camera is insane.. GOOOOOOO TEAM RED

[Don Woods]

This had me laughing out loud! Im sure more than a few people are kicking themselves today!
