Highest Red Reservation

[Steve Freebairn]

I've (me and my two friends) have number 1108. Post here if you have a reservation number that is higher!

[Blue]

I've seen 1124 somewhere

[Jeff Kilgroe]

1110 here, but what's the point..? By the time this reservation window closes, I would imagine there will be a few hundred more.

[Steve Freebairn]

There has been a lot of talk of how high the reservations will go. This is just one way we can see as it happens.

[Jason Francois]

What's the point? Exactly. The point is that there is no point other than the need for us to define the point to see where we stand on the original point. Get my point?

Sorry, I've been drinking again. :)

[Andrew Benz]

Sorry, I've been drinking again. :)

I'll drink to that!:D Go numbers...

[Jason Francois]

I'll drink to that!:D Go numbers...

cheers.

[Cam McGrath]

RED # 1124 here and my friend in Melbourne is still waiting for his #....

dREDcam

[Emanuel A.]

I'll drink to that!:D Go numbers...

And we all over here! The RED success will be our future success too! A warranty to the future, the best support, etc etc etc.

[planet e]

i like this thread idea. a little tiddlywinks while we pass the time waiting for our treat bag to arrive....

[Corrado Silveri]

And we all over here! The RED success will be our future success too! A warranty to the future, the best support, etc etc etc.

Agree! Waiting to see all of us shooting on the field...

(Note: Emanuel, did you receive my PM's?)

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Any bets on how many cameras will be reserved after this window closes?

[Ralph Oshiro]

#1148

[Ralph Oshiro]

I'm guessing 237 more reservations from now until midnight Wednesday.

[Ralph Oshiro]

Either that or 708.

[Jeff Kilgroe]

I'll go with 613 new camera reservations by midnight wednesday... Seems like a nice number. :)

...And I just realized that I'm now the top poster here on these forums. I guess I need to lay off the RED kool-aid and find something more constructive to do. Ah, but what to do when I sit here sipping my tea while babysitting a render farm?

[Blaine Golden]

I can't wait to see what you do with the camera, Ralph.

[Jared VanLeuven]

I've (me and my two friends) have number 1108. Post here if you have a reservation number that is higher!

Congrats, man. You guys will work magic with that thing!

[Jim Exton]

I say they get 1864 by the time reservations close.

Is this like the Price is Right, whoever is closer without going over gets to come up and spin the wheel?

How about a free Red Cage in the showcase showdown?

[Michael Schrengohst]

I say 1776 - Independence Day

[Oskari Sipola]

<- there you have it.. (but I reserved 48 hours ago so there must be higher numbers)

[Ralph Oshiro]

[1189] <- there you have it.. (but I reserved 48 hours ago so there must be higher numbers)Whew! Finally, someone with a higher number than me!

Yeah, I submitted Sunday morning at 8:00AM and got 1148, so it seems to be an average of about 40-50 a day since then? I thought I was going to get a much lower number, comparable to Gaspacho and AppliedVisual. I definitely thought I would be <1100, so I would still be in the "cool" group.

I am surprised that the reservations aren't skyrocketing. I was expecting several thousand after this long respite. But, I suppose that's simply because people aren't aware that reservations have opened up again (I wasn't--I found out purely by accident).

[Ralph Oshiro]

I can't wait to see what you do with the camera, Ralph.Thanks, Blaine! Nice to see you all over HERE, now!

[Martin Jäger]

i have 267!!! wanna change your 266? i'd spend a beer... or whiskey.. PLEASE!!! ;)

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Yeah, I thought I would be <1100 as well. I know of two on here that put in their reservation less than 30 minutes before I did and they're both under 1090. But I suppose there could have been that many reservations in that short of time. I know that #1180 existed before they started taking reservations this time around, I was there at Midnight PST and the reservation form didn't show after about an hour and I fell asleep until 2AM PST. I submitted my reservation at 2:09AM PST. So from the time they opened up to the time I submitted mine, no more than 29 people slipped ahead of me. I'm also considering the possibility that PayPal hosed me and RED didn't necessarily receive reservations instantaneously or in the order they were submitted to PayPal.

Either way, I'm happy with my #. If I could specifically request a # at this poing I would either pick #1111, #1234, or #1313... But my #1110 will do just fine. :)

[Ralph Oshiro]

Well, it's all my own damned fault for not belieiving in Jim way back at NAB2006 when I was at the RED booth when they announced the reservation deal!

[Michael Schrengohst]

Ahhh yes....I had the RED FAX form filled out in the first round but was not ready because the HD projects were not here and I thought, if I can't get lousy HD jobs why would I need 4K? Well in that time all of my jobs have been HD, SD is now dead for me....I can see a great future of producing
higher end HD projects for the foreseeable future!

[Sean Michael Johnston]

1165
does that count for the cool group?

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Ahhh yes....I had the RED FAX form filled out in the first round

I did the same thing... In fact it's still here in a tray on my desk. I actually made the decision to fax it in not too long ago, only to find out that reservations were closed. D'oh! Oh well, I have my # now. I have no idea why I kept hesitating... I've never doubted Jim and RED I just couldn't make up my mind.

[Jarred Land]

well just be glad your in now... i have a feeling after the reservations are locked down and shipped, that the first 6 months or so when the camera is released publically the demand will be much more than the supply.

Its nice having a number so you dont need to worry about lining up.

[Ralph Oshiro]

Heya, Jarred! Yup. Damn glad I made it! Ahem . . .

"I AM RED DIGITAL CINEMA CAMERA RESERVATION HOLDER NUMBER 001148, AND DAMNED PROUD OF IT!"

[Andrew M.]

Anybody out there that have received confirmation from Rayan after my time and
has already assigned reservation number?

I paid by PayPal for my reservation 2 hours after reservation had started.
Received confirmation from PayPal at 5:00AM LA time on 20-th of Jan.
Received confirmation from Rayan (RED) at 7:31AM LA time on 21-st
Receipt ID: 0673-4055-0042-8526

I see that there are people that have received reservation number already, in spite that they paid long after the time I paid.
Maybe the confirmation time from RED is the key factor here or my reservation fall off the table and dog (RED) eaten it:-)

Andrew

[Rob Lohman]

If you have doubts send an email to 4k@red.com. However, processing might take longer now then in the beginning. Yours will probably show up in a couple of days!

[phatred]

OK. Got my numbers.

RED ONE: 1277
18-85 Zoom: 472

[Andrew M.]

OK. Got my numbers.

RED ONE: 1277
18-85 Zoom: 472

May I know when, what time and how did you place the order?

Andrew

[Brian Kaz]

#1246 Hell yeah.

Ordered Jan. 22nd - 2:30pm.
Received # Jan. 24th - 3:00pm

[donatello b]

well i got to say the higher these #'s go the lower 103 seems !!
when i reserved at NAB i thought 103 was a bit high !!!

[Rick Darge]

way to rub it in our faces

*snicker*

[Emmanuel Cambier]

1276 here, made a reservation tuesday 2 O'clock in the morning Paris time
Wahooooo !!

[Sam Druckerman]

well i got to say the higher these #'s go the lower 103 seems !!
when i reserved at NAB i thought 103 was a bit high !!!

LOL, I remember being bummed out that first day of Nab about getting #81, I thought that was so high.

[phatred]

May I know when, what time and how did you place the order?

Andrew

I ordered on Monday at 7:50PM EST using PayPal.

[Ivan G]

I'm beginning to get worried now....:confused: I placed my order on Monday using paypal and yet have not heard from RED. Can I at least get an email indicating "Your order is being processed"

[Don Woods]

We are all waiting. I'm sure there is allot of work actually figuering out the serial numbers. What email came first when they all came at 6:01am monday morning... And the people that didn't get through but had emails in. where do they fall in line. So rest well the RED team will figure it all out in due time and we will all be very excited..

[Kelly]

we're getting there! we really appreciate your patience... i know it is hard to wait!

[Gregory Karydis]

Looks like I am the record holder for the moment :D
RED ONE Camera #1333 ||| RED 300mm f2.8 Lens #255

he he, got me some pretty numbers!

[Petr Dvorak]

Gone :D

[Gregory Karydis]

Looks like I got the highest score!

Did I win, did I win? :p

[Jason Francois]

Gone :D

That's pretty cool. Quick on the keys. :)

[Jason Francois]

Looks like I got the highest score!

Did I win, did I win? :p

Congrats Nutman!!! If you did get the very last reservation, I'll buy you a RED tshirt or hat when they come out.

I feel that as adults we should actually be rewarded for our tardiness. :) ...except on shoot days.

[Ken K]

Looks like I got the highest score!

Did I win, did I win? :p

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I may have the highest score when the final tallies do come in. :( I made my reservation last night with just less than three hours to spare.

I just stumbled onto this site and the Red One in general only a couple days ago. I kept hearing people mention Red, but I never looked into it. I figured it was just another high-end camera outside my price range. I was in the market for something like the HD110, but then finally looked into the Red One and was completely blown away. Yeah, I know it's about $10k more, but I figure I can make that up rather quickly by pimping my services out. Then I'll have a camera for indie film work that beats the HD110 hands down.

What really impressed me about Red was not only the amazing deal it was, but the community and the team involved in making it. I come to this forum and I see a solid [future] user base and a team who interacts with them and takes their suggestions under consideration. That just really impressed me and I wanted in! So, I thought long and hard about it yesterday and made the plunge last night. Now I can't wait! :)

Sorry for the long post, but I thought I should introduce myself while bearing the bad news. I'm looking forward to getting to know this community a little better in the coming months. Oh, and if I have the highest score, what do I win? :p

Ken

[planet e]

ken, when i signed up for my reservation in the first round, i got it in about half an hour before they closed and then something like 50 more were processed after mine. so getting it in three hours ahead of closing is still prime time!

my second red reservation is numerologically perfect: #1248!

ooooo, mathematician's wet dream!

[donatello b]

last fall i was trying to be the last reservation ... i waited till 11:56PM to fax ..
i received 1051 .. i know there's was a 1073... alot of #'s can go in 3hrs ....and of course the last 5min !!!

[Kyle Mallory]

1163... I feel so low.. all these other people after me! :-) I'm just excited to be on the list. I can't wait until it starts shipping! I just hope my wife doesn't kill me when she finds out!

RIGHT ON RED!

[Michael Schrengohst]

Interesting - I wonder how many others were in this boat?? Seeing as that your RED will not ship anytime soon, what are you going to use if an HD job pops up? I have had my HVX200 since March and it gets a fair workout.

[Ivan G]

Got it! They sent it to an old email address. THANKS RED!

[Petr Dvorak]

That's pretty cool. Quick on the keys. :)

no big deal, just one layback morning at work ;) :D

[Phil Becque]

I've got 1319

Haha... I can only make one decision at a time. Yesterday's was to pull the trigger on a Red One reservation. Today's is to figure out what to do in the meantime. ;) I'm assuming June would be the earliest my Red would be available, so I'll probably just end up getting the HD110 anyway and sell it if necessary (hopefully I won't have to) as my number gets closer to being called. I'm sure people will be posting here when they get their camera, so we should all have a pretty good idea of when our numbers are up.

ooooo, mathematician's wet dream!
Well in that case, I'm hoping for #24816. :D

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Red #112244 is all mine!

Or how about #1232100? That's my current #^2

[Don Woods]

Got one of mine 1414 getting up there in the numbers but happy to have mine

[Ed van der Kruijssen]

Ordered a Camera and a Red zoom on Sunday morning 1.30 but I still didn't receive any serial number yet.

(paypal ordernr 3874-2511-0191-4121)

Anyone else waiting that long already?

[ChristopherKenworthy]

I got Red #1408 - there were only a few hours to go. I was going to reserve when the numbers were very low, back in the good old days, but I finally secured financing for my first Red project just hours before reservations closed.

[Ken K]

I got my confirmation last night for #1443. It was ordered with less than three hours left and took exactly 24 hours to receive notice.

Hope everything's okay with your order, dip. :(

[Stephen Webb]

I wonder if they hit 1500?

[Jason Francois]

Congratulations to all!!!

Sometimes the "fashionably late" person does end up the life of the party. :)

[manfromlaramie]

I look forward to hearing 1444 reviews of the product before I buy ...

[phatred]

LOL. Very true insanityfw.

[Steve Gibby]

I look forward to hearing 1444 reviews of the product before I buy ...

And hopefully they will be good reviews that make you real happy that you reserved one...

[Steve Gibby]

Sometimes the "fashionably late" person does end up the life of the party. :)

In the NFL draft the very last guy drafted each year is termed "Mr. Irrelevant" by the media, and becomes an instant celebrity. A bunch of those guys over the years have been motivated to work extra hard to prove themselves, and have been real successful because of it! With RED One, I don't think even the last person to reserve a RED One camera is "Mr./MRS/Ms. Irrelevant", but in a sense they'll be a "celebrity" on REDUser for squeeking into "the club" under the wire.

Maybe a custom screened T shirt for them would be a cool idea?

[Michael Schrengohst]

I think a free Red Drive would be a better idea.

[Ken Corben]

Looks like I'm the winner with 001438, thanks to the Paypal "customer service" or lack thereof for that honor.

[Claus Mueller]

Ordered Red One, Red 300mm and Red Zoom on Sunday morning 2.30 but I'm still waiting for a serial number.

[Ricardo Mehedff]

I also ordered RedOne on sunday and still nothing... don't really understand whats going on....... i gotta tell ya, when i bought the M2 adapater from redrock, it was MUCH EASIER, i mean, they didn't use any 'third party' (paypal) companies to receive the payment. it was fast, simple and efficient...
Ricardo

[Blaine Golden]

Looks like I'm the winner with 001438, thanks to the Paypal "customer service" or lack thereof for that honor.Well, on the last page I saw 1443.

[Emanuel A.]

We all are waiting for the 1500 mark -- around 40% over the first six months (April 24th - October 31th 2006) during 4 days ONLY!

The demand increased 4500% !!

This is an achievement, Jim. Congrats!

[MiDaS]

Great work Red team. I ordered Red One Camera on Wednesday and two days later I got my Serial number #1421. Cool...:)

[David Fairbanks]

I got a reservation Monday morning at about 6am, also haven't got a serial number???

[Jason Francois]

I'm sure it's not all JUST about marketing to Jim and the RED team, but looking at Oakley's history, we shouldn't expect anything less than this great move.... a 4500% increase in demand.

Jim's way of dealing with word-of-mouth and knowing how to get people excited in just the right places should show up in college courses.

It feels like a Steve Jobs marketing plan, but more-than-likely without all the spin. (no knock against apple, but Jobs spins a bit from time to time)

I hope #1500 shows up soon and let's us in on the final number.

[Ed van der Kruijssen]

Ordered sunday morning (1.30) a red camera and a red zoom.
Still haven't received any serial number... sended mails and faxes, but getting hardly any feedback about what went wrong. I received a paypal confirmation that it has been paid...
It seems that there are more who did their reservation sunday morning having the same problem.

[Robert Frank]

I ordered the RED ONE on Sunday and pulled the trigger on the RED ZOOM on Wednesday. No word yet on my serial # on either except a response from RED to my email.

I was told that serial numbers will be assigned in the order received via time stamp on Paypal receipt.

I'm guessing that because I haven't heard yet that my RED ONE number is over 1500. The best I can do now is wait and be patient.

[Blaine Golden]

Is the highest reported number still 1443?

[Ken K]

Is the highest reported number still 1443?

I'm still on pins and needles hoping so. :D

[Matt De Jesus]

I'm number 1455. I paid about 20mins before the reservations closed.

[Robert Frank]

The number 1162 is no longer just a number.

That number now represents amazing potential!

[Ed van der Kruijssen]

I made my reservation Sunday morning 1.30 and I received my serial numbers 7 days later - this saturday afternoon.
Red camera serial number 1089 and zoomlens 336.
For all the people stil waiting be patient (but keep on sending E mails to RED) The guys from RED somehow timestamp your reservation and will give you a serial number accordingly.

[Claus Mueller]

I ordered on Sunday morning 2.30 and received my serial numbers this evening, RED ONE 1112, RED 300mm 195, RED Zoom 382.

[Ricardo Mehedff]

you're right! i just got my serial number: 1113
oh yeah!!!

[Owen James]

Me Too!!! 1140!!!

[Paul Moss]

So 1455 is the highest right now.....??
Well 1455 x $17,000 = $24,735,000
Wish i'd invented RED.....!
well done RED CREW...!!

[Blaine Golden]

While that may appear to be a lot of money, we have no idea what cost have been incurred during development, which I'm willing to bet has been significant, so don't let the raw numbers fool you.
