Engineering Delay is off...

[Jannard]

We are now officially off the engineering delay.

Jim

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Moving forward again. :) Now let's hope all the beta testing / field testing goes well and that tentative schedule can be firmed up!

Thanks for the update!

[Larry McKee]

Congratulations!

[CalicoIce]

Awesome congrats can't wait, to see this camera in action.

[Steve Gibby]

Excellent news indeed...thanks for the update Jim!

Let 'er rip...

[SF Geek]

Happy 4th Jim! Happy fourth to us all.

[Finner]

Can't wait to hear what improvements and or features were worked on and added durring the delay.

[SF Geek]

Will the red.com site be updated?

[SF Geek]

You're still up Finner?

[Finner]

Ya watching world cup under 20 that is being played up here in Canada. The US has a strong team this cup.

[SF Geek]

They didn't look that good against Korea. They got lucky that they tied that game. Korea looked to have the upper hand all game. Although, Canada got smoked by Chile. I have to say Chile looked amazing.

[Shawn Nelson]

Woohoo! Out of the molasses swamp!

[Sanjin Jukic]

Thanks Jim.
Congratulations!

[Finner]

Ya but Korea can play really strong, did you see them put Brazil on their heels? Korea lost but it was tight at the end.

Do you play? My team goes into playoffs next week, I am the keeper and a bit of a dink that other teams hate. Big surprise huh:devil:

[Christian Berg]

Back on track! Like the sound of that. Almost had me worried for i while... Good job Jim. Are you starting production now or will the start be in august?
Christian

[SF Geek]

I PMed you Finner. I figured we were getting a little off track.

[Jannard]

Back on track! Like the sound of that. Almost had me worried for i while... Good job Jim. Are you starting production now or will the start be in august?
Christian

We are staying with our announced schedule... but the board drama is over.

Jim

[Corrado Silveri]

Thanks Jim.
And congrats from Italy.

Corrado.

[Finner]

Back on track? Why?

All these type of threads turn into is people patting the red team on the back followed by a bunch of speculation by members. At least the world cup under 20 is concrete information.

[SF Geek]

Haha. I have to say, i was feeling the same way about this site.

[C.H.Haskell]

Standing O. ;)

[casey warren]

Niiice. Cant wait to see what the beta testers are going to do.

[Don Woods]

Fan Freakin Tastic. I am so happy to hear this. Looking forward to seeing RED move forward

[Priyesh P.]

This must be the biggest relief you've felt since a long time...
Great news and all the best!

[Alexander Nikishin]

No more delay?

Fuck yea!

[ChristopherKenworthy]

I'd love to know, how did "the board drama" show up? Was it something that gradually dawned on the Red Team, until somebody finally said, "Houston, we have a problem," or did something suddenly go sproing and misbehave so badly it was obvious? Or was it purely a case of a supplier saying, "Oh you wanted the board to do that?" I'd love to know. And I for one will be raising a glass for Red tonight. Well done all.

[Sean Rawls]

Woot.

Great news. Can't wait to see/hear about the improvements that have been cooked up over the delay.

[Poi Boy]

cool.

[Jannard]

I don't think it is appropriate to give the dirty details... but this stuff happens (I'm finding out).

Jim

[Mardi_Gras]

I don't think it is appropriate to give the dirty details... but this stuff happens (I'm finding out).

Jim

But one would at least hope you guys are documenting this in some way (format) for use later... Gosh! was this suspense killing?

[Greg Voevodsky]

Jim. You're enthusiasm is contagious. ;-). At least unlike Bill Gates, with your Oakley sale, you should have a few Billion more to make you and our dreams come true with RED. I'm very happy to see a non compete clause, as that will mean most of your time will be spent with the Hollywood crowd... which I'm taking you can't wait to um... work with you're new enthusiasm.

As George Lucas said to Steven Spielberg, (paraphrased) you can always move North. ;-) There is some nice property north of SF that would love to see RED North. OH, you can keep your So Cal Beach House for weekends and Holidays. ;-)

But seriously, I'm glad to see your full interest in RED. Please share your updates and passions with us, as it is getting way tooooo boring here lately.

We don't need the drama (unless you want to share), but at least update the dreams. I'd love to hear about RED focus and other goodies that didn't make it to NAB... or if Apple will soon support Blu-Ray authoring for God's Sake!

Thanks again - Jim and RED team. You make our dreams come true and please do not take a ride into space for another 2 or 3 years. Cheers!

[ChristopherKenworthy]

I don't think it is appropriate to give the dirty details... but this stuff happens (I'm finding out).

Jim

Yeah, forget the dirty details. It's over. You dealt with it, and suddenly we've got a happy, excited board again.

[Keith Nealy]

"This will be our Independance Day"

Chairman of the "Board"

... or is it "bored"?

Buena Fortuna, Jim.

[laguun]

Great! And just for the record, it has been a very short delay after all - Especially compared to the usual industry-timelines. Matrox was 4 years late with Digisuite and so many products were announced and never delviered.

To be totally honest: I am impressed. When we heared of your timeline in April 2006, most of our employees said in the meeting: "Impossible in that timeframe, lets better plan with half a year delay" - seems we were wrong and i am happy about it.

[Damien Molineaux]

Great news, congrats Red team.

Thanks for the update.

Cheers,
Damien

Still waiting, not impatient, yet.

[Ace]

Romeo Echo Romeo, Taxiing to runway 4k.. We are cleared for take-off!

[Andreas Fernbrant]

Will the RED team publish more RED ONE clips before the the camera starts to ship?

[Jochen Schmidt-Hambrock]

I don't think it is appropriate to give the dirty details... but this stuff happens (I'm finding out).

Jim

2 days later the sensor manufactor called: "What exactly does 60fps mean?"

So it wasn't wine you were talking about? (A supplier overheard asking a very angry caller from RED.)

[Rainer Fritz]

now the summer starts with a big sunshine and a bright smile on my face... thanks jannard and to the red team... can't wait for the baby...

all the best...

[JD Holloway]

Big sigh of relief here. Projects are pending everywhere.
Its funny to talk to (some) local rental houses who still feel this camera may not see the light of day...

Keep'n the faith.

Acehole is one talented mofo. But I think a career change now is unadvised...

[Craig Bowman]

Thanks again for the update Jim and its not even Friday!

[Jaime Vallés]

Fantastic news! Thanks for the update. This is very exciting, indeed. Congratulations on overcoming one of the big unforseen hurdles on the path to the revolution.

Looking forward to December!

[Jason Francois]

My heart just skipped a beat or two.

Thanks for the update and hopefully this gives you a bit of relief.

[Barry Gregg]

The REDVOLUTION is back on!

[Jared VanLeuven]

Bet that's a big relief for you guys. Rock on.

[Dexter Gregoire]

Thank-You Jim. I'm very excited to be using this camera. Especially after a few more tweaks of perfection without any more delays. Fingers crossed.

[Yash Keough]

Great congrats Jim and crew! :D Very excited to see what happens with Soderberg's new films! :-)

[Milan Nikolic]

Great news! I will have my RED ONE in December. Now, I just have to make the money for it!

[Eugene]

Hey Acehole, I see those condo conversion guys on the street every day. I found a new website to help me in my vulture hunt for a good condo. http://www.condovultures.com/ The problem is that people are not desperate enough yet. I am keeping my money on the sidelines for now.

Good to hear the RED board problem is fixed.

[Brook Willard]

I'll join in with the masses and say congratulations... Glad to hear it's all back on track. :) Can't wait to hear more updates as the day draws near.

[Carlo Rho]

Great news! Thanks a lot REDguys!
Now we can start working on our timetable!
Have a nice Indypendence Day!

Ciao Carlo

[Adrian T.]

Congratulations RED team! Way to go! :weight_lift:

[JVB]

Thats awesome!

[Gregory Karydis]

Thank you Jim and RED for the great update!

[Adrian Correia]

first the Soderbergh quote and now the enigneering delay is all fixed up...what's next Jim? All Red Ones are free to the first 321 reservation holders?!?! Make it happen Jannard...

[Manfred Lopez]

So are the shipping date estimates still holding?

[Manfred Lopez]

Oh... Never mind... Just saw it answered on page 3 or something.

Actually, I think he is quite mad. In a good way, of course.

[Cail Young]

Jim is a good guy, not a madman...

Obviously you haven't seen Jim's business card. His corporate title is Madman.

[Joe Aurili]

clap clap clap clap ;)

sorrrrrie.... forgot I was using the other hand... ap ap ap ap

[SF Geek]

So Jim, is it safe to say that you found new suppliers and thus have lifted the delay? I'm guessing you put the re-spun boards in the cameras for Wanted and Soderberg's films, so the only other cause of the delay that was left was the suppliers. Am I right?

[R. Gonzales]

We are now officially off the engineering delay.

Jim
That's great news. I was wondering, since things are or seem to be back on track, is there some way a price breakdown of the accessories price can be made available? (Individual part prices)

Thanks

[OwenR]

well done Jim from someone else you dont know....

And were excited about the 18th July UFC1

[Emanuel A.]

Excellent news indeed...thanks for the update Jim!
