I'd like to offer my personal thanks to the individuals that completely ripped on the first clip well knowing that these were alpha's with some known issues which the RED team openly shared with us.
Now it appears we may not get to see the rest of the film. Not like I've been waiting on the edge of my seat here for 7 days. Appreciate it

Amen. Who asked these people to be RED's PR? I think RED is more than capable of determining what should and should not be posted.

I don't understand, all the comments that I see are positive. A few people point out the DOF that they wish were different and the digital shake. But I guess I'm missing the reason that "it appears we may not get to see the rest of the film". Please explain.

Yes, there were a lot of positive comments, but I'm talking about the weasily, hyena-like trolls, who hide cowardly in the dark and lunge out and attack the lion cub. Now I have no idea if the rest of the film will be shown, but I'm fairly familiar with the RED team's M.O. and if they feel that people are making presumptions and unfair judgements based on highly compressed internet footage from test cameras, they'll lock down everything.
Edit: I guess I'm just bummed. That's all. Perhaps the footage will come soon.

I think RED is pretty proud of their footage. If they are they'll post it. If they aren't they won't. The 'damage' has been done. We have more than enough footage to pour over and super analyze. Releasing 12 more minutes of footage isn't going to make things worse.
If they don't release the footage now because of quality criticism when would the release it? It sounds like a silly argument and it implies that if they withhold it for a while it'll improve. It is what it is. It's a milestone in development. The first field testing in a production environment. They won some points they lost some points and unless they are planning on changing something you can't blaim criticism in this case.

Well, thanks for clarifying that for me. I don't know, I don't think that they are that thin skinned. They are awfully ballsy to be that thin skinned. IMO the simple fact that there is enough interest in this camera that the current movie geek posterchild wanted to play with it, is more than enough reason to believe that this footage will (eventually?) make it to the masses.
