[jaadgy akanni]

And we know where they're headed. Nice, Jim.

[Corrado Silveri]

Great...
I'm a little bit scared...

[Alex Wengert]

You're the bomb Jim!

[JD Holloway]

Just need Jim to do the Slim Pickens routine!

[Hrvoje Simic]

:shifty: Interesting colour of the heads...

[Thom Steinhoff]

4K-ilotons of fun!

[Jeremy Newmark]

I know this is a stretch, but the black blob in the reflection (under the S) kind of looks like the body of the SI2K camera?????

[JD Holloway]

Yikes!

[Paolo Tinari]

Those are cool screwdriver handles

[Steve Gibby]

Aha...maybe the first render of the new RED short shotgun mics?

[Vincent Rice]

Oh no! Another bloody design change! :angry03:

[Jared VanLeuven]

Sweet! That'd make a cool windscreen for a shotgun mike... :)

[Andrew Benz]

Oh no! Another bloody design change! :angry03:

LMAO..., God I do miss the USAF, the technology, the incredible missions, the travel and my fellow comrade-in-arms... I f I could only find something like that now...

[Adrian T.]

This reminds me of one of my favorite Tex Avery cartoons.

Well, I'm guessing this new wallpaper indicates that the attack has begun and you are dropping the bombs on the competition....sorry, my school research skills seem to make me analyze everything during finals week.

[Priyesh P.]

How about a nice mushroom cloud over Nagasaki or Hiroshima with the Red logo coming out?

If you had "Fat Man" in mind when seeing that nukes, I thought the same thing, too.
But anyway a nice render Jim!

[Mark Mannschreck]

How 'bout a 1900X1200 (or bigger) version? In the meantime, I'll just Up-Rez it.

[Brook Willard]

Very cool design... I love that you guys are able to make these great little things amidst the chaos. :)

[Jag Sandhu]

A bit Dr. Strangelove.

No, I think they are going lactate all over them.

[Sanjin Jukic]

After all that Sex Bombs in Las Vegas I would like to see the RED 4K Space Shuttle Launch Movie SOON here in EUROPE!!!
Or something like this HD video at

http://anon.nasa-global.edgesuite.net/anon.nasa-global/NASAHD/sts-116/STS-116_LaunchHD_1080i.mov

That could be a really fascinating to show at IBC Amsterdam 2007.

May I ask what's in the reflection? The heads have a reflection that I just can't figure out. Is it an office or a lab or something?

SI2K... maybe. Probably not.

[Alexander Nikishin]

Haha nice!

Sony Headquarters

[ericyoung]

Yeah. Maybe a nice "concentration camp" theme on the next one. Sony reps going into a gas chamber.

EDIT 11 May 07: The poster I quoted has clarified that his intention was the opposite of how I interpreted his above posts, and has now deleted those posts. He was actually expressing distaste for the military imagery, but the sarcastic tone doesn't come over in a text based forum, so I apologise for the misunderstanding.

I'm considering deleting my own post except that it does address some of the bashing of existing Japanese camera manufacturers elsewhere in the forum. And the thread might make no sense if I delete, as it has been quoted in posts by other users.
____________________________________________

Hmmm. :umm: Bit close to the bone :sad:

I'm definitely no fan of Sony's pricing policies and dripfeed technology, but that's just big business practice, and hardly unique to Japan. Look at Microsoft. When your primary driving impetus is the bottom line and your big shareholders, it makes good business sense to do what they do.

I find Japan bashing a little irrational. I mean when the Z1 came out it really was amazing. I still think it's a great value camera for what it's likely uses are. Likewise the HVX200, despite the P2 pricing.

Where Red differs is that the impetus for this camera was primarily to make a kickass camera for Jim's personal use, and he wanted to share that vision with a few likeminded people. Making some money on it was icing on the cake.

Now it could be a medium/high volume business success though, it will shake things up nicely and allow more people affordable access to professional quality tools. Japan will respond or surrender the market. I'm betting they'll respond.

Red's continuing advantage is that it's private, small, nimble, and personally invested and driven, but also unusually well funded for a startup. It looks to be continuing to develop products to undermine existing market strategies.

We all win in the end.

And no I'm not Japanese. :matrix: :calm:

Just two 1920x1200 version...

(Sorry Jim, delete the link if you find this inappropriate).

[Paul Hazlett]

Is this the only way the wallpaper will look?

are there going to be other configurations of the wallpaper?

heheh

I think you have misunderstood.

I suspect lordnumberzero is expressing his distaste for the military imagery.

[goldyprog]

Ride of the Valkyries came to mind.....

MP3 attachment option on reduser.net, please???

[Clayton Harper]

Very inappropriate.

Irony doesn't translate well on this medium does it? I am sort of against the use of war imagery in advertising.

Hate to be that guy, but my grandfather treated radioactive burn victims in Tokyo as a WWII occupation force surgeon.

Maybe we could get a desktop with something positive and not a picture of the weapon that killed hundreds of thousands in a country that is now our ally.

Hey, me likes!
Well, if he doesn't like yours then he definitely won't like this one...
(no symbolism meant, so don't even go there!!)

[Corrado Silveri]

I don't know much about the real thoughts of Jim.
But I "feel" some irony in these subject...

I don't think there is here a real celebration of war.

Btw, my father is an WWII invalid...

I think Godzilla vs. Bombs settles the issue for me. :)

[Jannard]

My uncle, who I was named after, is a paraplegic from the Korean war. And no, we don't think use this imagery to suggest anything except that we are "at war with conventional thinking". You are taking this all a bit too seriously if you conjure up anything else in your brain.

Jim

[Joe Aurili]

Speaking of bombs, did you add the self destruct sequence option to RED like I requested???

[b e n t o n]

Does this mean Red One or ReDone?

[Corrado Silveri]

I think Godzilla vs. Bombs settles the issue for me. :)

Definitively...

:innocent:

Btw, I was right 'bout the Jim's thoughts...

[Brian Ferguson]

I was wondering what the delivery package was going to look like!

[Rodrigo Lizana]

A poster contest after we get our cameras would be great. BTW, Jim you can test vibration on Ricky Carmichael´s bike or maybe James "Bubba" Stewart !!. It´s really great you sponsor those guys. Ricky´s been always an idol of mine !.

[Petr Dvorak]

Ideal camera case for traveling by plane :whistling:

Love all these conspiracy theories... Could it be that its just the default reflective image map in a certain rendering package?

My two loves, the Colt 1911 and Red..

I was very fortunate to shoot the very first three Space Shuttle launches - STS-1, STS-2, and STS-3 and boy, would I love to shoot one with RED.

The first one was really amazing - everybody in the world media was there to capture that magic moment - I'll never forget it.

[Mark B.]

Bombs blowing up the traditional "birds of peace"? Probably not making things better.

[Jeff Kilgroe]

When can we start submitting pre-orders for the bombs? I have a few people I'd like to send one to. :nuke: :devil: :devil: :nuke:

Will RED drop-ship these so I don't have to handle the transport myself?

Nice render!

Oh my God.. I've be QUOTED.. I mean REALLY quoted...

Sheesh....

Jay

[Casey Green]

I posted this a while back on another thread, but here it is again. :) And yes, that's Hollywood.

(BTW: Hi Keith! Very cool, I remember you telling me about the Shuttle Launches when we worked together. Great to see you here.)

[damonbots]

Oh my God.. I've be QUOTED.. I mean REALLY quoted...

Sheesh....

Jay

Now you've been quoted again! :tongue:

Didn't mean to catch ya off guard. I just thought your previous thread title fit after I saw the wallpaper. Something interesting about this RED company... spiders with knife legs and now bombs.... hmmmmm. I like it! Keep 'em comin'

[Poi Boy]

love the red saucers ! no offense chief but much better than bombs.

[Greg Voevodsky]

LOL. You have to become a content Producer... Man... funny as hell..

[Don Woods]

As a Leader in the Battlefield, he should use many Bombs to kill one target.

I am a hunter in a Forest to use many stones to kill one BIRD !!!

Apologies lordnumberzero for the misunderstanding.

I've edited my initial response accordingly, but not sure about deleting it as the thread starts to make no sense with missing posts.

[Keith Nealy]

Hey Casey. I've been wondering "where you been?" I haven't seen you on the board since before NAB. Did they work you hard?

Well I haven't got my number yet or my delivery date but I joined the revolution.
I figured since I've always been on the "bleeding edge" of technology for the last thirty years I figured RED was the next train so I better get on it!

I think it's going to be a fun ride.

BTW, I had a great talk with your brother a few weeks ago.

Well, time flys when you're having fun.

Let's stay in touch.

Aloha,

Keith

[Alexander Nikishin]

You guys are reading into Jim's wallpaper way too much, relax a little, many of us have lost loved ones due to weapons.

I lost my grandfather in WW2 due to a Mauser rifle, yet I shoot the Mauser quite often because it's an all around fun rifle and IMO, target shooting is a great hobby.

Besides, Jim said it himself, it symbolizes being at war with conventional thinking, a nice metaphor if you ask me.

[Casey Green]

Hey Keith,

Yeah, It's been a crazy past few weeks. I was out at NAB, and immediately came back to work on a Feature at Fox, so it's been non-stop. Also, in any spare time, I've been working on my own projects/websites. I'll send you a link.

Glad to hear you have jumped aboard.
