When will there be news from RED?

[sander kamp]

Okay, I fully understand RED is busy with fixing the last things on the camera and dealing with all the orders that came in at NAB. But would it be possible for RED to tell us when they will come with news about all the things we are now speculating about? You know, just so I can stop hitting 'refresh' and get on with my life...

[Emery Wells]

It is a bit of a problem... I find myself spending entirely too much time here.

[Kenn Christenson]

Maybe they could have an email letter for res. holders, when they have some major announcements about the camera. That way the Red Team could go along and continue their feverish work pace, pausing only to make an announcement when they've reached a milestone, made an improvement/change or (God forbid) hit a snag. And all us fanboys, detractors and general enthusiasts could go on with our lives - at least until the next big announcement!

[Jannard]

Good idea... we'll send reservation holders an email when we have important news. Now you can have that life you've always wanted!

Jim

[IAN SUN]

Hey thanks Jim.

back to the grindstone, for me.

[Sanjin Jukic]

To pass the forum and to share some opinions take you about a half an hour daily. Not to much for rest of a day. Somehow it becomes a part of my daily life. I've got addicted. Maybe that's a life I always wanted.

[Erik Rangel]

Hitting refresh on my email now.:tongue:

[johannperry]

just ordered my red today but my wife is now so sick of my latest obsession that I'd be better of with a good old fashioned mistress to spend my spare moments with. It's only going to get worse too when the damn thing arrives. By then I'll be in such a frenzy having had to wait and watch all those brave, early trail blazers enjoying their new cameras. Thankyou Jim for opening up a world of creative possibility and for wrecking a fine marriage.

[Poi Boy]

Thanks Jim, I'm afraid it is too late for my addiction. Do you have a RED patch ?

Join the club! For awhile my wife thought I was having an on-line affair with a RED head....She was actually disappointed that RED was ONLY a camera.
I said it's not ONLY a camera but the key to a better life and riches beyond your imagination....."What a crock" she says!!! Hmmmm how much money
are we talking about???

[C.H.Haskell]

Hah! Yeah my wife also just found out "RED" is actually a camera too...she looked into it a bit and says..."Can I be in your next film?". lol

[Christian Berg]

Jim, could you send out a monthly newsletter? This would be great. A lot of our questions could be answered and new features could be presented in a way that would clearify a lot. Since i was not able to come to NAB i had to check out the forums and other sites. There were a lot of missunderstanding among the different writers. So, a newsletter could help you out a lot.
Looking forward to my camera! /Christian

That would be great, Jim! Now what was again it that I always wanted...

I'd prefer that it was on the forum myself, not being a reservation holder yet...

[Jonathan L. Bowen]

I sent a wire transfer last Friday for reserving RED One and the basic accessories but haven't heard back from them yet. That isn't something to worry about is it? I have to say it's not that comforting to send off money and hear nothing back. I think a simple response back would be warranted for such a large purchase.

I can't wait to finally have one, though, I've been excited about this camera since I heard about it but the more I read, the more excited I get. My friend David is also reserving one.

[ericyoung]

I'd prefer that it was on the forum myself, not being a reservation holder yet...

I expect the email will just be a copy of an announcement to the forum, or just say check the forum for an announcement.

[Rob Lohman]

JonathanLB: the wire transfer probably hasn't shown up on our end yet. We're also busy working through all the order we got in. Did you also send us an email?

[Chris Gearhart]

Hitting refresh on my email now.:tongue:

lol. Seriously though, no need for that. The Reduser forum will tell you when the emails have gone out. :matrix:

[Clayton Harper]

Jim

Thought you were already committed to doing that with the Redcore thing although I don't think there was a NAB update...

[Jonathan L. Bowen]

Hey,

Yeah I also sent an e-mail with a list of what I ordered. I have a PDF file showing the wire transfer went through, too.

[Jeremy Hughes]

I'd perfer that I got an E-Mail too. But no reservation though. I spend too much time here. I also need an E-Mail DCResource, DPReviw, camcorderinfo.com, HDForIndies, Engadget and DVXuser about the XH A1 and HV20. But then I'd just spend all my time on Gmail.

I spend two hours online in the morning and another in the evening. Last year I just decided to learn more about cameras because I thought mine wasn't good enough, then I go on a learning frenzy and I can answer peoples questions at DVXuser about cameras I don't even own! Yep, just a growing obsession with cameras and RED just made it bigger. Well, at least I'm not AppliedVisual! (He doesn't post much anymore; did he get off of RED?) Even when I watch a TV show, commercial, movie, the news, I always just name the camera when I see it. "That's an F900" "That's a DVX100" "That's the Canon Elura 100" "That's the Canon PowerShot SD700 IS" "That's the Canon EOS 5D"

I've just realised I've gone camera crazy!!:excl: :blink: I even hold off eating to read about the RED ONE!

I know how you feel, being camera crazy... All I own is a cheapo handycam (on the video side), but I still know almost everything about RED ONE and the HVX...

[Jeremy Hughes]

All I own is a JVC GR-D250U and a Canon PowerShot A620. But I know almost everything about the XH A1, XL H1, XH G1, HV20, RED ONE, DVX100, HVX200... And it goes on. But those are the main ones.

[OwenR]

Of course weve all been having an affair with a Red Head or should i say several red heads for a long time!

Three cheers for all red heads!!

He said "three cheers"! (What can I say, I'm detail oriented)

Here goes:

cheers, cheers, cheers!

[Júlio Taubkin]

Well, I think the guys at RED are just waiting for us to solve that film vs red debate... :)

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Well, I think the guys at RED are just waiting for us to solve that film vs red debate... :)

RED is better than film because I can't afford to shoot my personal projects with film. End of discussion. Now comes the part where everyone agrees with me and we all go home happy.

Jim said updated delivery info in a couple weeks. It's only been like 8 or 9 days since he said that. I will wait patiently... But it's killing me on the inside. :matrix:

[Steven M. Bailey]

Yes the waiting sucks, but at least we have a confirmed reservation, and a hope of recieving one in 2007 sometime.:whistling:


Cheers, salut, bonsai, word, yippy kie eye yeah:gun:

[Shawn Nelson]

Before I was told I'd get my Red in June. I'm sure hoping for mid-July at the latest! But honestly, I hope Jim takes his time and works out the last details. I'd rather take delivery in September if that's what it takes to iron things out. No worries from me, I touched the cameras with me own hands :-)

[Gbabymogul]

I prefer to be notified by carrier pigeon. Please, only on Fridays, because the rest of the time my Falcon likes his daily kills (there is an abundance of pigeons in Canada, too many for my taste). On Friday we feed him macaroni and cheese as per the ancient falconry code.

Orient your pigeon towards my home via google earth map - it's called Castle Loma. Pigeons adore the parapets. I anxiously await the first rolled up parchment with the RED waxed RED logo/seal.

I too snort this forum daily. I envy those texas poker addicts - compared to this forum, they're pikers.

:Guinness:

* the above post is the result of being Canadian - everytime someone says cheers we have to drink. We're too polite not too.*

[Clayton Harper]

Cheers to all!

Screw all you level headed bastards. I want my Red yesterday with the new boards even though they weren't available! :waaa: I'm gonna just have to plan to shoot every single day for the the first month I have the camera.

[Steve Gibby]

LOL :biggrin:

Lordnumberzero, I gotta say...your avatar fits the mood of that post perfectly...

[sander kamp]

My intention was to get a timeframe from RED when we would get news. Like: in two weeks we'll tell you more so you don't have to check here every 30 minutes.

But now this thread has turned into: while checking every 30 minutes let's have a chat. Welcome to RED café everybody.

(I would have sworn there was a beer smily?!)

There was... It went MIA along with the ;) winky face when Jarred "upgraded" the smileys about 2 months ago. But it's all good, because we have Spidy. :spidy: Hehe

Oh.. and Lordnumberzero.... Screw you too, buddy. I'll never forgive you for placing the RED 'sticker' on the Hoff. :bleh:

[Steve Gibby]

I'm still waiting for a Hawaiian "shaka" hand sign smiley...

That would be way cool...

[Jarred Land]

I too snort this forum daily. I envy those texas poker addicts - compared to this forum, they're pikers.


oh boy... i think im gonna have some more hate mail coming from the wives soon.

[roryhinds]

Hi Jarred

Did you say the RED site was being update today?
Meaning the release schedule is being updated today?

Regards
Rory

[Jason Ramsey]

Maybe you need to start a support forum for the wives.

Or, better yet, a new product launch. Pink One. Cover all your blemishes for $1.99. Even you can look good in 4k. Just put this on:

The thing that's gonna just kill me is when the first bunch gets their cams and start threads like "OMG Check THIS out!" and "Holy Crap, look at this clip!!!" for 3 months and all I will do is sit here in my little computer chair and think ... damn. :bye2:

I told my wife that I am meeting up with some guys from the forum tomorrow. She glanced across at the screen and there was Lordnumberzero's avatar. "So is that the kind of person you are meeting up with?" she said... Thanks goodness Finner wasn't on that page...

LOL! I hear ya...

[Blair S. Paulsen]

Finner may be a drunken sot, but as I have told my wife many times - what are a few misdemeanors between friends? Has he ever gotten me charged with a felony? Well? Then what's your problem... :devil:

[Finner]

Boy I tend to get a lot of you boys heated up. It's okay I'm straight but if you swing that way feel free to drink in all the hunkiness of the HOFF.

[Clayton Harper]

When I get on this site my girlfriend calls it a "Red Boner".

[Jeff Kilgroe]

"That site again? I wish you gave me that kind of attention!" - my wife.

[Jason Ing]

i'm doing to my wife what I did when I wanted to go to the casino and play texas hold'em poker. I made her my accomplice and taught her how to play. Now she sits at the $400 no limit poker table and bitch slaps everyone there. So I took her to NAB and now she wants to do compositing and special fx. So she makes money for us at the poker table and will do my post for my feature. Great in bed, cooks, and does my laundry too. What can I say. I got a great wife. :)

[Jared VanLeuven]

I took my wife to NAB as well. Definitely more ladies there this year than in past years to my eyes.

Oh, and Finner - your avatar's what drove The Man's latest YouTube drunken debauchery. ;D

[Jonathan L. Bowen]

Yeah that's me only for like six months or eight months, not three. Oh well.

I won't get my RED until I'm basically done with film school, which is a shame because if I had it now and shot these stupid assignments on it, I could seriously embarass my classmates more than already has happened. I mean our last project isn't ten times better than everyone else's because of the camera, or because of the lighting, or because of our color correction, or because of superior editing (though all of that helps), it's because we told a meaningful STORY and they just screwed around with nothing anyone cares to see. It is all about the story, when it comes down to it, but to have this beautiful story shot on that beautiful camera... well, that's a dream come true.

I just want the tools to make my visions look on screen as I see them in my mind. All filmmaking equipment is just for that purpose, really.

[Hrvoje Simic]

I'm laughing my ass off reading this thread...

The forum is getting weirder by the minute.

[Arnaud Paris]

Well guys, and Emery in particular, maybe in the meantime we could get started working on the Project Red so that we have interesting stories to shoot once the beast comes out.
Just a thought...

Then They could start charging a per minute fee to see what going on.....

my wife, today.

[TimothyD]

"Are you reading about that f@#king camera again?"

I hear this every night. I've started keeping a tab open with something boring so I can click it when she walks by, kind of like hiding your liquor when you are an alcoholic.

Peace,

Tim

[TimothyD]

It does make her feel better that the rest of you are just as hooked on the red crack as I am though... But not enough to get her to leave me alone...

"omfg"....my wife. (but in spanish...from cuba)

Haha...this is too funny. I never know what I get when I check up here.
