11 days...

[Jannard]

With 11 days to go, I want to take a moment to thank all of you. We have listened. At 1st, it was difficult. We kept saying to ourselves "don't these guys know how difficult this stuff is?"... and "if they want that, they should try and build one themselves!". Then we really began to get comfortable with the tiger we had grabbed hold of. And many of the suggestions actually seemed within reach. So we decided to really stretch ourselves. The results of that stretch will become apparent on the 13th. Many of you have had input that pushed us to reach higher.

Of course there have been many suggestions that are just out of the question. They are either impossible or not realistic at a reasonable price. If those suggestions were serious (I sincerely hope they were not)... a few might actually be disappointed. But I doubt it. Especially if everything is considered.

Long way around saying that many of you have made a difference. That really is what this forum is supposed to be about. If we responded harshly early on, it was just because we didn't know how to do it all. Now we do. Well, at least much of it.

Put your helmet on. The 13th is near. It is only fitting that I should post here 1st, then on red.com. You guys matter.

Jim

[roryhinds]

can't wait to see what you've been cooking.

[Justin Kirchhoff]

It's great that the RED team has put effort into figuring out HOW to do things that customers wanted, even if it wasn't in the original plan. That's just still badass to me.

Thanks Jim and team.

[Pierce Cook]

Hey Jim, we can't thank you and your team enough for your tireless effort.

Awesome. Now I can't wait. Glad to hear it, looking forward to seeing what you guys have come up with.

[Larry McKee]

The 1:1 magnification is a perfect example of what was considered impossible just a short while ago. Now we have it and it is a very big deal. Thanks.

[Steven M. Bailey]

So a cappuccino dispenser on the scarlet is still out of the question or was that one of the more reasonable requests. :sad: I don't drink coffee any way so it will probably be okay either way. You know best.

[Ace9]

The anticipation is killing me......

Just waiting on the river to put my chips down!!!!!!!

Just tell me were to sign my second born!

I respect all what is happening its your policy, plan ... my only question is: why you made us wait all this time without feeds? the policy of RED ONE didn't have all that wait for exposing what in the labs.. I just wanted to know the reason behind the plan of holding information until a certain time...

[Dory Breaux]

I gotta say, you guys are the only company I have ever come across (with the exception of some bike or ski companies) that actually take this much personal interest in and care of your customers. Even those who dont use your products (yet).

Also, you deliver.

[C.H.Haskell]

We are all in this together Jim...I dont know anyone here who did not take a risk. RED has proven to be more then just a camera, but a successful business model and community that I am grateful to be a part of. Until then, cheers!

We are doing things we never thought possible... just want to make sure we can prepare the presentation properly. When we do post, it will be very obvious why we needed a bit more time to "spill the beans".

Jim

[Shawn Nelson]

Lol, those pesky customers, quite a bitch eh? :-)

I have no doubt you'll make our jaws drop, now if you can deliver working (non-Beta) product 5-8 months later, then I'll be happy :-)

[Ace9]

To one day use an Epic on a Billy Maze OXY CLEAN comercial. :bye2:


note: that was a joke!!

This is so great to hear. Thank you for listening, even when it is difficult. Yet another example of how RED differs from other companies.

Cheers,

[James Brundige]

Confession: I don't need this camera - It's way more than I require for broadcast doc work. But being (a small) part of this movement is just too cool to resist. The way Red has come to be is so unique, and the spirit Jim has imbued in the Red team is so visionary, I just gotta stay on board. I've learned a lot more as a shooter. I've also learned a lot about waiting. These 11 days are nuthin' compared to the year waiting for the camera. Bring it on.

[michael zaletel]

Did I mention how incredible "RED Support" is? What a great company all around.

-shooter

[Craig Ryan]

You got us on the edge of our seats now...I'm going to guess that on 13th we'll all collectively become one giant matte paining, plastered against the back wall of the universe. The only thing left will be countless pairs of socks. :weight_lift:

[Rami Mustakim]

I feel like a child waiting for christmas.

My wife said she was about to leave me cause I spend to much time on this forum and you know what... I don't care ;-)

Maybe Jim turned me into an addict ? Aaaahhhh !!! I feel GOOD !!!
Just waiting for the next update news.

Seriously, I'm more than happy with my brand new R1.
I really don't know how you guys can do more.

[ssnare]

Thank You for creating a great company and have the compassion to really care about your customers. Can't wait to see what the next round brings!

[10s]

Oh c'mon Jimmie the RED, tell us what you're really up to, you & your unruly group of pranksters hiding out in the Nevada desert, staying up all night & making plans to take over. What will it be this time?

You can fool us once, but we're on to you this time!

[S. Um]

11 days to wait for the announcement, then an unknown period of waiting for the actual camera. This is like a line at Disney World! :-)

[Michael Moreno]

Im just hoping my redone will not be left in the dark.
I've been babying it since i got it, shining it and keeping it clean
and i just hope red still loves little r1.
Future proof
Even if i upgrade to epic i wish i had the money to keep my red one body
it is a beautiful design by red, something so futuristic
when im shooting for others and when im in my studio
im always stuck gazing at it and lost in thought at its hal9000 control,
it is a good time to be alive.
i dont have any money left
and im happy.
i have creative tools that dont lose value
i have all i need to make my dreams come true
and i put my money on red
and i won
more than i ever have in my life
i remember when i was going to get a redrock m2 adapter for my just purchased hvx200 and i figured i was set
and then someone on dvxuser said if your gonna run that just check out red
and i did, and i was blown away
it was shortly after that, that talk of it being used for wanted peter jackson
and a few others really amazed me, i just figured i was getting the better version of the hvx200 redrock m2 setup, and after the last god knows how many days months and more i spent on reduser i have walked away from an online college of education, reduser, so many helpful teachers, and the usual distracting students which i can be at times as well, but i really tried to find a place to thank all of the people who have put the information up fro me to share in and learn from and participate in, thanks jarred and alot of others, it is not easy to communicate ones self on an online forum and have sarcasm humor respect and happiness and more read out perfectly. It is so interesting to see people from all over the world coming to this site daily and exsisting, reduser has come a long way from fanboys to haters and red elitists.
the dynamic is almost perfected
and i am glad i am a part of the future
thank you red
and worldwide redusers

just wait till you see my movies

i have a funny feeling they are going to be just as good as yours ; )
and i use to think i was going to change the game on my own.

RED

[Jarred Land]

Thanks man.. that was inspiring.

[Michael Moreno]

thank you jarred, alot of guys respect and envy you on here
im sure alot of people would agree that we feel a common bond with you

except you get to see behind the curtain!!!! lol

and we dont.
must be nice.
then again you dont get to open a present on the 13th so there. hah : )

[Jason Wingrove]

RedUser is The Ark of the Covenant. ...Its a telephone for talking to god :sarcasm:

Thanks for being there on the other end of the line
J

[Martin Weiss]

You guys will have a lot to tell your grandchildren...

------

Will there be a video presentation?

[Snow R. Shai]

Right back at you, RED team.
Can't wait to get my hands on the new gear...

[Jannard]

thank you jarred, alot of guys respect and envy you on here

except you get to see behind the curtain!!!! lol

and we dont.

I don't think anyone really realizes how important Jarred is to the RED program. Running reduser and scarletuser is the LEAST of what he does. I have never worked with anyone that understands the vision of what I see as well as he does. He is the one person that can tell me I've lost my mind... and I will actually listen (sometimes). We trade 30 emails a day when I am out of the office (he is the adult supervision when I am gone) and usually it is to tell each other of the same idea at the same time. Which makes it my idea, naturally...

RED could not be done without the team we have assembled. Every person matters. But without Jarred...

Just so you know...

RED

Hope you don't mind my plagiarism on this one, but these are my sentiments exactly. I love my camera. For the first time in my life i feel like the technology around me is ahead of my own ability. makes me strive to do better. Thanks Red Team

[Gabe S.]

Really, really looking forward to the 13th. I feel energized.
Thanks, Jim and the gang for working so hard!

[Sanjin Jukic]

Good morning from Europe.

Thanks to all RED Team and of course specially to Jarred for the forum.

The helmets are ready for November 13.

Waiting for the big show to start....

[Michael Moreno]

Very true big jim and very awesome to see my quote above your words
i am a proud red owner with all fixings and i thank you

i also dont think you realize what you have done with red
and i am really blown away at what red is turning into
everyone who talks about red has the usual variable angles

and the one thing they are all not realizing is that all of the other camera companies that i wont bother naming, dropped the ball, that you picked up and molded and fabricated innovated modified and anodized. lol.

They dropped the ball because they dont have a jim jannard
how awesome it is everytime you come on this forum and people freak out when they see that big jim chainsaw and they are little fish swimming with the big fish and they are so eager to thank you and share in this epicness that you have created, funny too because alot of the stuff i shot with r1 people i work with end up saying after they get a shot, "epic" as in how epic their shot looks.
I'm pretty sure when they shoot on epic they will just be speechless.

thanks jim and yes jarred gets second place for the hype after people see his mr. nice guy smile when he posts, which almost always reads out as "hey guys, i just got another look behind the curtain and let me tell you, you wish you could be me" lol
he just happens to be a nice guy so its ok : )

[Darren Orange]

RED could not be done without the team we have assembled. Every person matters. But without Jarred...

I think this statement is very much so fact about most things. The people are what make things happen and worth while. Cheers Jim and Jarred for setting a fine example of how a company should be run!

[Ivan G]

How about adding a count down on RED.com :) I remember when the 2nd reservations were about to open with the countdown and that was suspenseful!! Not that I need the reminder because I sleep on these sites.

it's late and I'm probably talking out of my ass. Time to go to bed...

[Priyesh P.]

And where the new picture / hint?

[Michael Moreno]

I 2nd that

That second countdown clock was my window of oppurtunity
and i capitalized.

very magic moment to see that clock and knowing i had time to get in.

[Jarred Land]

I 2nd that

Jim


I for one will be right there with you. I have been around since the "dvxuser" days but it was quickly obvious to me that RED was way more camera than I would know what to do with.

Give me anything close to the original scarlet specs and price that I can take underwater and I am more than right there.

I've been trumping both RED & scarlet to everyone who will listen for some time now.

I have had people try to convince me to get some "high-end" Sony camera & housing that records "4 times the bandwidth of HDV" only to have them look at me like I am a moron when I say I am waiting for my scarlet :)

rock on.

[DaveT]

Red could be a 'wake up' call to the industry.
Nintendo did it, Apple did it, Google did it, and now Red is doing it.

Red wants to build and sell the best cameras in the world, and we want to buy and use them.

[Vincent Thomas]

Janard, you know how to talk to your crowd, you should do politic :)

Nice to feel such motivation and good spirit behind Red...
Looking forward the news

My request would be that every RED camera is shipped with a ShotWrangler SolidStore - I'll do volume pricing for ya Jim!

Exciting times at RED - It's incredible to watch a company start with a blank-slate, take on consumer feedback and develop accordingly... Very different.

awwwww...i can just feel the luv...even down here in OZ!

[Craig Bowman]

Well Jim. You produced a digital cinema camera so people like me could make the movies we always wanted to. I received #214 (Andrea) in January and reached into my archive of movie ideas. While breaking Andrea in on various client jobs I finally wrote the screenplay for "Plastic", an idea which people have been bugging me to do for almost twenty years. So I'm dedicating "Plastic" to you and the Red team. Best of luck on the 13th.

[Gunleik Groven]

Wow, guys.
Whatever it is, I am looking foreward to it.
Think a year back... :)

RED is rocking the boat again and again and again.

Thanks for almost three fun years so far.
Looking foreward to the sequel!

[Ramesh Jai]

RED is the new Apple :)

[Eki Halkka]

RED is the new Apple :)

I sure hope not. If computers were cameras, a Mac would be a HV20 that costs $ 20 000 ;-)

[Dan Sturm]

RED is the new Apple :)

In terms of innovation? I'd say red wins.

Only major difference is red actually listens and talks to it's customers (very well I might add).

I can't wait to see what comes from red in the near, and distant future. Thanks to the whole red team.

Dear Red Team,

Thanks for delivering ...in a new media world with Vaporware every were
Red Digital Cinema is head and shoulders above the crowd!!!!!

Your ability to talk with many of us about our needs and concerns is nothing short of amazing!

Thank you for making this journey 1st class !

[Spizzi]

L-series glass. I've just got way too much money invested in Canon's amazing L-series glass that it would not be very pragmatic to switch over to RED's systems. Maybe aftermarket adapters are possible????

Looking forward to the 13th.

[Jesse Johnson]

You know, my dream was always to make movies for a living. That's it, plain and simple. I'm a writer, editor, director, producer. I wear a LOT of hats, as most of us do.

Film has always been my passion, but unfortunately due to budget constraints I was unable to produce "studio" quality material. And that held me back, at least in the eyes of investors and executives. I've shot several films, all with the Sony HVR-Z1U. It looked alright, but no matter how much time and effort I put into each project, at the end of the day it still looked like something you'd find on youtube.

Then RED came along. I finally managed to get my hands on a camera and immediately went to work. My film's still in the editing pipeline and I've already gotten a LOT of attention from investors, distribution execs, etc;. And the best part is... I'm presently awaiting the paperwork to close a finance deal to shoot a feature-length WW2 picture. A script that I've had in the works for years, my "baby" you could say.

The RED camera gave my project the production value of a "studio" film and showed the investors what I was capable of, given the right tools. Everyone thought we shot on film, it was amazing!

Now, my company has taken off and I'm living my dreams thanks largely to RED. Thank you so much for all of your hard work! You've given people like me the tools to realize their visions and achieve their dreams. This company is like no other, serving as a role model for what other corporations should be. RED has done something most companies never do... they've achieved greatness and earned the respect and support of their customers.

I can't say it enough... thank you to everyone at RED. Thank you for helping me live my life-long dream! :)

Ironically ... the 13th is my wife's official "due date" (having another boy) but I fully expect the dude to come out early in time for Jim's announcement.

Besides ... I am hoping to avoid refreshing REDUSER.net on my iPhone while she's in labor ...

excitement all around - bravo Team Red!

[Jesse Johnson]

Besides ... I am hoping to avoid refreshing REDUSER.net on my iPhone while she's in labor ...

LOL... that was good! Congratulations!

[Joel Arvidsson]

I cant wait to join the Red cult!:usd:

[Júlio Taubkin]

Sometimes what seems logical at the costumer side, just seems "impossible" at the company side. That's why red one was developed by it's own prospect consumers in the first place. Enthusiasts can reach for the impossible, thinking they are only going after what they want. Kudos for RED to see that, and don't turn themselves into a "company". Keep being ethusiasts!

[Bing Bailey]

I think this quote is most appropriate

“So many of our DREAMS at first seem Impossible, then they seem Improbable, and then when we Summon the Will, they soon become Inevitable.” Christopher Reeve

[Christopher Nagel]

Jim, Jarred, Graeme, et al.,

You are all my heroes. Men of action, vision, integrity, purpose. Thanks for changing the game, for allowing guys like Jesse Johnson (Skyline) to live their dreams. Thanks for living yours, for making it reality. Thanks for inspiring.

Reduser.net is a place I come every day, for my daily brush with greatness, just hoping one tiny piece of it will rub off and....

If I wore a hat, it'd be off!

Lol, I can relate. Congrats! My wife is past due one week for our second boy...she rolled her eyes when my first question to the birthing center is whether they have wifi (but the iPhone is backup).

[Jason Diamond]

If REDUser is the ARK then does that make Jarred 'Sala'?

Great work guys, so stoked for the 13th, the whole team has really delivered!

JimI'm glad to join the big boy's playground aka dvxuser.com before all this have happened. It was easy to guess this community was already a true pre-revolution. With a market out there, it missed your genius joining his inventive talent. You made that magic team which has made the proletarian revolution called RED.

[R. Schorman]

I have to say, I just got my Red One (#4685) and it is the best thing I have ever used hands down.

I can't wait to see what Epic holds.

Thanks for everything.

[Mitch Gross]

Lol, I can relate. Congrats! My wife is past due one week for our second boy...she rolled her eyes when my first question to the birthing center is whether they have wifi (but the iPhone is backup).

I think my wife would have beaten the crap out of me.

[JayV2010]

There is a surprising lack of fake photoshop pictures and spy shots.
Red is going to one up Apple on being able to keep a secret.

[Mark L. Pederson]

Lol, I can relate. Congrats! My wife is past due one week for our second boy...she rolled her eyes when my first question to the birthing center is whether they have wifi (but the iPhone is backup).

congrats Shawn!! maybe we need to build a site called - ReduserBabies.com

[Denis Buhot]

Okay, time to change tactics :-)... Jim Jannard, you're obviously the man of one word, faithful...to yourself as much as you are to your customers.

Red is rocking the boat upside down again... great... It's nice to see you figure out the future, draw a totally new picture and invent precedently unconceived tools for our dreams to come true. But until now, my own dream has not really come true. Jim, you wrote me once about a sleep mode : "why can't you wait until this feature is allowed"... I took your word, again... How about taking down power consumption , so that I can hike up my way to my subjects with my red, my tripod, my evf, my drive, my sigma 300-800, and PLEASE no more than 4 battery packs ? So much has been and will be achieved...

[Steve Gibby]

My wife has worked with me for the past 15 years as a production coordinator and on-set photographer, so she is way stoked to see me visit my other "family" here on RED User! She knows it is the best networking and learning opportunity I'll have during each day...

As for my heartfelt thanks to RED, I spelled that out in the "Thanks RED!" thread I started here on RED User a few days ago...

My wife is due (with our second boy) on the 8th - should be out in plenty of time for the announcement.


Besides ... I am hoping to avoid refreshing REDUSER.net on my iPhone while she's in labor ...

If my wife is late there could be problems - I don't have an iPhone... But the hospital does provide wired network connection, so I could take the laptop along.

Yes, RED is even more Apple, then Apple now :)

Instead of fiddling with cameras, Jim, I think you should replace the story editors on "Lost". You know more about cliff-hangers than Hitchcock :). I think you are the "Master of Suspense".

I can see the titles of your movies now; "Strangers on a 4K Train", "Dial in the LUT of Murder", "Red Window", "4K The Birds", "The Trouble With Sony", "The Man Who Knew Everything About Epic", "The 39 Steps of the FedEx Guy" and of course, "Psycho".

This is the part in the movie when Roy Scheider stumbles into your office and says:"We're gonna need a bigger Thread." Then we cut to the cheesy announcer saying: "Will Jim and Red Team survive the ravenous, cut-throat mob of Red Users, desperate for a taste of Scarlet flesh!? Tune in next week!"

I love suspense. I hope it lasts...

There's still time.

I'm serious. I hope Jim gets tired of cameras in a few years and announces for 2012. My support of Ross Perot in 92 and 96 would pale by comparison.

[Radoslav Karapetkov]

What is happening here is special...

Like thousands of other dreamers, I am giddy, waiting for the next level of your program...

Thanks.

[FMG battery]

Dude that looks sweet! But you should have fixed the font!!

Jim Jannard/Jarred ?????

I could've had a ball with this...jarred is canadian..

[Jarred Land]

jarred is canadian..

not any more :)

[Graeme Nattress]

No poutine for you then! And we'll have to water your beer down too.

Graeme

[Petr Dvorak]

.. another two vaporwares on its way :sorcerer:

[Jarred Land]

heh heh they make better Poutine in Santa Monica then anywhere i found in Montreal :)

Although nowhere here comes close to the Asian food in Vancouver ( that I have found yet )

and yeah... the beer sucks.

[Graeme Nattress]

Stick to the Scotch then Jarred. Much safer. To me, Poutine never tasted as good as it does at the bottom of the ski hill on a really cold day. I don't think I can eat it any more on my diet though :-(

I'm excited to see what you guys are cooking up behind the curtain. I think the Red One was/is a great camera.

What I'm more curious about the new body is if it will have any sort of under/overcranking available. If so and at the right price point/release date it would likely be the most desired camera around.

I'm interesting in keeping things small, light, and versatile.

[Bing Bailey]

guys the word is gaelic and its spelled poitin with an accent :) tsk tsk

[Bing Bailey]

if I send you a bottle can I find out what you are up to sooner :) LOL

I am quite impressed with the canon 5d, Lets be honest it looks a lot better than any graining, blurry ex1/lex setup, but if jim says the 5d sucks then scarlet is gona be so good it will blow up my tv!!!

I am SURE that whatever Jim will announce on the 11th will be game changing, but the 5D does NOT look better than the EX1, not by a long shot...

I always thought poutine and beer was pushing it...now we're talking poutine and scotch? Yikes !!! :blink:

Anyway...

I've been a silent observer of RED since day 1, and am thrilled to have witnessed these little moments in history...with more to come on the 13th.

[Antoine Fabi]

I dont understand all this hype...

...but just in case... i bought some Champaign...:)

[David Rasberry]

I am not familiar with Poutine. What is it?

[Edmund Boyle]

As mentioned earlier Poitín (Pronounced "Putcheen" or "Putteen") depending on what part of Ireland your from is an illegal spirit or moonshine to our friends on the other side of the big pond.

Very good in small doses but only from reputable sources, can be lethal. It was made in a pot still from grain or potato's. Its still made today but in very secretive places. My first documentary on Scarlet maybe!! You heard it here first.

By the way whiskey note the "e" denotes Irish whiskey as opposed to Scotch which is sometimes spelt without the "e" (Whisky) came from Gaelic Uisce Beatha which means water of life could not be pronounced correctly by our English speaking neighbours who visited us for a while(ahem!) and the nearest they could come to the pronunciation was "whiskey".

Rock on Jim and Jarred! I'll have a drink for you on the 13th.:bleh:

[Graeme Nattress]

Poutine is french fried potatoes covered in cheese curds and gravy.

[Joseph Ward]

With 11 days to go, I want to take a moment to thank all of you. We have listened. At 1st, it was difficult. We kept saying to ourselves "don't these guys know how difficult this stuff is?"... and "if they want that, they should try and build one themselves!". Then we really began to get comfortable with the tiger we had grabbed hold of. And many of the suggestions actually seemed within reach. So we decided to really stretch ourselves. The results of that stretch will become apparent on the 13th. Many of you have had input that pushed us to reach higher.

Of course there have been many suggestions that are just out of the question. They are either impossible or not realistic at a reasonable price. If those suggestions were serious (I sincerely hope they were not)... a few might actually be disappointed. But I doubt it. Especially if everything is considered.

Long way around saying that many of you have made a difference. That really is what this forum is supposed to be about. If we responded harshly early on, it was just because we didn't know how to do it all. Now we do. Well, at least much of it. Jim

Can you tell us what suggestions seemed impossible or not realistic at a reasonable price? LOL

[Paul Cronin]

Look forward to joining the Red family.

[Peter Mosiman]

As do I. I already feel like I am apart of it, even without owning anything of theirs. :)

Jarred, please share your spot. I'm in SM right now and that sounds delicious!

[Gregory Karydis]

I have not been very vocal in this community since I got my hands on my baby. Err, I mean my RED One.
But Jim and Jarred, you guys left me speechless. A thank you is the least I can say.
Your dedication and devotion to your product and customers is exemplary.
I don't think I'll be as happy when I become a father... :)

Two questions;
Is there some place online where we can vote/suggest for the company with the best customer care and after sales?
Have you entered the design of the RED One to any competition for industrial design?

Other than that, I can't wait till the 13th!
No, wait, I can, I've got my baby to keep me company and play with.

[Roberto Lequeux]

...and usually it is to tell each other of the same idea at the same time. Which makes it my idea, naturally...


ROFLMAO!!! HAHAHA!!!
I am sure he doesn't mind it from you Jim. After all you must be a sort of a god father to the geek genius in him. Glad to know that you value him. He is our Joe the Plummer! LOL... (only in the good ways, and please don't somehow find a way to take offense at this, anyone)

And don't forget Graeme! He is the one doing a lot of the stirring up of the magic potions!

My hat is off to all three of you, and to all the other hard working Red team members. We owe a portion of our green lights to you, or at least the better quality at which our vision is being captured.

10 days for the next revolution!

[Graeme Nattress]

Thanks Roberto. I'm stirring away at new potions right now....

OK! Taters n' gravy. That I am familiar with. :biggrin:

[Steve Sherrick]

Ironically ... the 13th is my wife's official "due date" (having another boy) but I fully expect the dude to come out early in time for Jim's announcement.

Besides ... I am hoping to avoid refreshing REDUSER.net on my iPhone while she's in labor ...

excitement all around - bravo Team Red!

Mark, Congrats!!!!

[Lee Jay]

I like this idea...

That was in regards to the countdown clock. I've seen this done before, and the sites often go down within a minute or two of the end of the count, because all the page refreshing looks exactly like a denial of service attack. So, unless you're prepared for a 10,000x increase in page serves per second, I'd recommend against it. Let it get posted at some random time and people will arrive to check randomly, and the site will stay up.

[Graeme Nattress]

OK! Taters n' gravy. That I am familiar with. :biggrin:

Don't forget the cheese curds though - that's an essential part. Think "Cheesy chips, with gravy".

Graeme

[Roberto Lequeux]

Thanks Roberto. I'm stirring away at new potions right now....

Graeme

Leak! Leak! LEAK!!

Are we getting higher compression?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!? :blink:
Are you taking advantage of some sort of warp hole anti matter thing?

No... It can't be higher compression... no way... but maybe at a minimal loss of quality?

It has to be something else... What in the world could you be working on?! I know nothing about what you do! Are you even human?!?! :pinch:

[Graeme Nattress]

Please Roberto, you should know better than that.... I'm not even Welsh....

[Roberto Lequeux]

Please Roberto, you should know better than that.... I'm not even Welsh....

I knew it! That is the only way to explain what Red has been able to do thus far! Like the Egyptians, Jim hired AILENS!!!

SCARLET would be a cool name for a boy..

Does this mean SVARLET wont be powered by solar panels :(

[Jochen Schmidt-Hambrock]

SCARLET would be a cool name for a boy..

And another red user from San Francisco....

only RED understand USERS i love it

Will there be provision for entering your credit card details before the big day? Then on the day, we just need a big red 'pay now' button on the front page. First to hit the button, first served...

[Denis Haineault]

<off topic comment>
His name actually is a double whammy. In my part of the world, "Putin" is pronounced like "poutine", plus it is spelled exactly like the French slang for hmmm "lady of the night". No disrespect intended...just one of those silly things.
</off topic comment>

[Christopher Nagel]

May I suggest: http://www.red.com/store/t_shirt

Chris :-)

PS: Will T-shirt owners get 2nd crack after RED One owners?

[Ian Laurie]

count on a fellow canadian to introduce poutine on a forum about camera's. :) Although they have more in common than you think. Both, Red Camera's and poutine, give you a warm, delicious, " I could bask in it's glow all day" kind of feeling. Red is just easier on the arteries.

Yeah, I know.

And in Bulgaria, the name "Putin" sounds like it's derivative of the slang word for female sex organ. :tongue:

lol! :)

This is going to be GREAT!

since I canceled my RED order due to family obligations I have now saved for the SCARLETT and anxiously await the good news...Thank you for listening and being accessable

Hey Jim, So far you have kindly gifted us with sneak peaks at scarlet. Whats the chance you might be willing to give us a peak at EPIC!!!!!

[I Bloom]

As mentioned earlier Poitín (Pronounced "Putcheen" or "Putteen") depending on what part of Ireland your from is an illegal spirit or moonshine to our friends on the other side of the big pond.


It's not exactly illegal. I had Poitin served in a pub in Ireland, County Donegal. My friend and I asked for it and they told us we had to go around back to get it. We stumbled around the narrow gully between the pub and a rocky hillside, until we got around to a little double door. The barkeep opened the top half of the door and served us two shots on the bottom half. Thing was, it was just the back of the bar. The whole pub, including the police constable could see us.

Totally off topic. But true.

I highly recommend the northwest coast of Ireland.

LOL... that's a funny story. Probably just made you do that to give you a story and have a laugh, that would be typical Irish humor. I lived in Dublin for about 5 years and spent a lot of time traveling the coasts surfing... the locals in those small towns love when yanks come through because it provides everyone with much needed entertainment. Just like when all the locals near Cork get smashed they go and piss on the blarney stone so they can have a laugh the next day when all the American tourists are kissing it. You have to love the Irish!

my friends sister used to remove her makeup and clean her face with Poutin.
they were 1st gen irish-american so they had the real stuff directly from ireland. they had a giant jug of it here in woodside, queens new york.
tasted great and went well with their moms amazing guinness soda bread.
