[CVB]

Jarred, are those stickers all over Kelly's dress or is it a red logo dress?

[Jarred Land]

[Corrado Silveri]

Wow. Gasp.

[CVB]

Nice. Shes sexy and crafty. Or did you make the dress?

[Adam C Lubkin]

Careful pulling those off. ;)

[donatello b]

snow board doesn't do it for me - any chance of a red sticker MENS shirt !!!

[Kelly]

glad you like my dress!

we have a few reduser spider shirts we will give to the runners up! can't wait to see what you all come up with!

[Steve Gibby]

Wow. Gasp.
Mumble....

Relax Elcurado...and push your eyeballs back in...I know it's that coooooool snowboard that made you gasp & mumble...right?

[Rick Darge]

Kelly yer purdy..

[Owen]

Finally, a good excuse to order stickers!!

EDIT: Well, I ordered stickers, but it didn't add on shipping costs. Send me a PayPal invoice and I'll cough up the stamp money!

[Corrado Silveri]

Relax Elcurado...and push your eyeballs back in...I know it's that coooooool snowboard that made you gasp & mumble...right?

Absolutely.


Kelly, chapeau.

[Jared VanLeuven]

Uhh, that one wins already. Contest over.

[Corrado Silveri]

Please, stop.
I'm start feeling inadeguate.

And Kelly, chapeau again...

[Vladimir Eugene]

The top 3 of the 5 pictures have already been decided. Not having Kelly pose is clearly a dissadvantage

[IAN SUN]

Daaamn!

Babe !!!

[Petr Dvorak]

1. Sticker dress dont stick ;)
2. Who is manufacturer of a board?

[Paolo Tinari]

Are you the Kelly that ships the R's? The famous R Kelly?
I still didnt receive mine!

[Ken Corben]

Jarred,

I presume no photoshop gurus allowed and that actual sticker photos only will be considered for contest entrants?

If so, I will need to special order two 15 foot high stickers for my contest submission.

Sharky

PS- Anyone here good at long line repelling?

[Petr Dvorak]

I vote for sharkguy!!!

[Eirik Tyrihjel]

Jarred,

I presume no photoshop gurus allowed and that actual sticker photos only will be considered for contest entrants?

We need some rules/guidelines, what goes and what does not?

[Steve Sherrick]

Okay, I know the Red team has done a great job of marketing so far, but that right there is the best marketing I have seen yet. And I mean that in a non-chauvinistic way of course.

In all seriousness Kelly, that is really hot. Kudos for being a good sport. You must really like working with these guys. I'm just glad they decided to have you wear the stickers and not Jarred, no offense, man.

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Wow... I'm not around all day today and look what happens.

All I can say is, Kelly... I love your dress! Oh, and I did get the stickers you sent me, now I have to find a creative something to do with them. I haven't found a home for that 20" one just yet.

So, who manufactured the snowboard? Not that it really matters, I'm going to submit something anyway. It's probably a bit too long for me, I prefer my Unity Pride 155. But what's another 8cm...

As others have asked, what are the rules?

How many submissions are we allowed, or is it just one per person? Are there any limits, guidelines, etc... I'm assuming you don't want us to break any laws. Although, I'll help make the 15ft stickers if sharkguy really thinks he could pull off his concept. Heh.

[MikeCurtis]

Kelly is ALWAYS sexy, often crafty.

: )

[Jarred Land]

ok ok... one more.

[Jannard]

Are you the Kelly that ships the R's? The famous R Kelly?
I still didnt receive mine!

The only reason that someone hasn't received their "R" is because they still haven't turned in their signed agreement.

Kelly is the original RED "Redhead". All the rest of you are just imitations!

Jim

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Hey, Jarred. I don't suppose you have one more pic that shows the other side of that board, do you? ...Or just another picture of Kelly, either way I'll be happy. :D

[Jason Francois]

Good grief. Could Kelly be any cuter?

[Ace]

Oh lord. I thought my Grafitti past was behind me. This is too good to resist. You think you got out, but they pull you back in.

One question: How hard is it to remove those stickers from windows?

Just a small caveat: Before holding competitions like these, Its best if the RED company sets some rules and guidelines so that if someone goes and does something slightly daring shall we say, RED is not held accountable.

[Jarred Land]

Oh lord. I thought my Grafitti past was behind me. This is too good to resist. You think you got out, but they pull you back in.

One question: How hard is it to remove those stickers from windows?



They are actually very easy to remove from windows... me and Jim do it almost every-week.

A small bit of Trivia.. as crazy and non-cost effective as it is may be... every single Red sticker at this point is handmade by Jim and Myself... as much as they look good scattered on random objects they really should be collectors items...

[Kelly]

Jarred is right... the stickers are pretty much collectors items! I am so excited to see what you all come up with! Good luck!

[Ace]

They are actually very easy to remove from windows... me and Jim do it almost every-week.


GOOD! *Evil grin*

[Don Woods]

Wow Kelly you look very nice. I'll have to think of some fun ideas.

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Sure, now you tell us they're collectors items... Now I don't want to screw 'em up. :) After I already put the 3" one on my ski/snowboard helmet.

I think I have an idea though what to do for this little contest. Looks like I still have a good bit of time to think it over.

[Don Woods]

I got a few ideas time to order allot of stickers... I have to admit that I might copy your and kellys idea but a little different..

[Brook Willard]

Alright, I guess I'll have to pick a few up now...

[Daniel Reichenbach]

with other words: who has the best stickpicktrick, haha, a snowboard. A while ago, the the swiss alps had something like snow. But anyway, I'll use the board in the sahara dunes.

[Jarred Land]

stickpicktrick... i like it heh heh heh.

http://www.reduser.net/forum/uploaded/1_1171728057.jpg

[Steve Gibby]

Kelly, you're relaxed and natural on camera...a good model!

Jarred, very cool pics...who shot them? Camera & lens?

[Daniel Reichenbach]

Jarred, for free, you my use it :D

[Daniel Reichenbach]

Another one bites the dust (the new swiss snowboard theme), sorry Kelly, not you, you are perfect

[Jeff Kilgroe]

http://www.reduser.net/forum/uploaded/1_1171728057.jpg

There you have it, folks. Board autographed by the RED team (???). Kelly will just leave her teeth marks.

[Jarred Land]

Kelly, you're relaxed and natural on camera...a good model!

Jarred, very cool pics...who shot them? Camera & lens?

I shot em (Nikon).. We did pull Deanan away from his coding for a couple minutes to press the button for this one of Me, Kelly, and Mr. Serial Killer.

http://www.reduser.net/forum/uploaded/1_1171729115.jpg

was alot of fun on a Friday afternoon :)

[Graeme Nattress]

I'm slaving away over code and you're having "fun" on friday afternoon? My mind boggles....

Graeme

[Jarred Land]

I'm slaving away over code and you're having "fun" on friday afternoon? My mind boggles....

Graeme

its was all serious business. the smiles and laughs were all simulated in photoshop. nobody was having fun; don't worry. It was hell.

[Graeme Nattress]

Good, I'm happy you've put my mind at rest. That makes me feel a lot better. I mean, if we actually had fun with what we're doing, that would ruin our work ethos, wouldn't it :-)

Graeme

[Kelly]

We were obviously wishing you were there the whole time Graeme!

[Petr Dvorak]

We were obviously wishing you were there the whole time Graeme!

:D :D :D

[Don Woods]

These pics need to go on the RED Myspace page or something.. The year book remebering the times at red.

[Vladimir Eugene]

it seems that over at RED even the employees have to be good-looking. Cool, and Mysterious are also implied

[Graeme Nattress]

Thanks Kelly! But I know it's just so you can hang out with Megan.

Graeme

[Jarred Land]

it seems that over at RED even the employees have to be good-looking. Cool, and Mysterious are also implied

like i said... its all about the photoshop :) heh heh heh.

[Graeme Nattress]

Jarred, so that's how you do it! I was wondering how you always appear to be 7' whereas I'm sure you're just 3.5' in reality. It's that portable photoshop "scale vertically x2" filter that you have with you at all times :-)

Can you make a "scale horizontally x 0.5" filter for me?

Graeme

[Steve Sherrick]

Gibby, you always bring a lot to the table technically, but I am bewildered that you managed to get a serious technical question out during this thread. I think most of us are still picking up our jaws after being so amazed by that dress. It is such a fantastic design, just like everything else Red is doing. ;)

[Gregory Karydis]

Kelly, nice smile,
Jarred, that crazy glint in your eye scares me more than Mr Serial Kiler :D

Aaaargh, I'm a skiing and snowboard instructor... must have that board, must have that board.

Well one thing left to do, I'll order me some MORE stickers,
tata

[Steve Gibby]

I think most of us are still picking up our jaws after being so amazed by that dress. It is such a fantastic design, just like everything else Red is doing. ;)

I hear ya...it took some intense concentration on my part to focus in on the technical merits and production values! I had to revert back onto the abstract reasoning and creative visualization I used in my first career as an air traffic controller to hang with the tech side of the questions I had...

Aesthetics, talent, and the right tech sure make magic, dont' they...

Those who really know me know that I am a jokeaholic - always teasing and laughing! I just put on my "game face" for tech forums...

[Brook Willard]

Alright, alright, you guys got me - just ordered a few stickers.

It's on.

[Scott Webster]

OK, Thats the 'evening wear' part of the contest over. Beach wear next?

[Blair S. Paulsen]

Wow. To quote Wayne & Garth: Kelly is Babe-raham Lincoln. I'm not even going to pretend to care about the stickers or the f-stop.

[Corrado Silveri]

[Graeme Nattress]

Wow - now where did you get that photo from :-) ? Wow, it's almost as if I were there.

Graeme

[Kelly]

Hahaha! Love the instant Graeme!

[Corrado Silveri]

Simple Google Search...

Did you notice the CC?

[Steve Gibby]

Elcurado, how about a bigger grin on Graeme...kinda like the Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland?

Opps sorry about that!

[Graeme Nattress]

Now that's silly!

[Corrado Silveri]

ok this is starting to get a little creepy :)

Why?

http://www.reduser.net/forum/uploaded/83_1171758994.jpg

(No, I will NEVER touch Kelly with my pen, sir. Please, don't ask further...)

[Steve Gibby]

LOL...!

Elcurado...you're one quick Photoshop wizzard...most of the rest of us would still be scratching our heads in Help menus...

[Corrado Silveri]

[Don Woods]

Oh that is too funny.

[Jeff Kilgroe]

http://www.reduser.net/forum/uploaded/83_1171758994.jpg

"Mr. Serial Killer" didn't scare me... But that picture does.


(No, I will NEVER touch Kelly with my pen, sir. Please, don't ask further...)

Same here, although vampire fangs did come to mind in that pic with her teeth against the board.

OT: What's up with the smileys??? ...At least we have Spider-Man, though. :spidy:

[Jarred Land]

:poster_stupid:

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Thanks, Jarred. :bleh:

[Jarred Land]

sorry man.. you set yourself up so perfectly i just couldnt resist.

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Yeah, I did, but I had to ask...

[Don Woods]

:sheep: but arn't we all.. Good work on the simelies :shiftyph34r:

[Ace]

I don´t know, I was prettyn happy we had winks again.

It was a bummer when we lost them at DVXUser... ;)

(edit)

AAAAHHHHHH!!!!

...okay spidy is pretty cool :spidy:

[Steve Gibby]

A Hawaiian "shaka" hand sign, rocking slightly, would be very cool...

[Jarred Land]

acehole can you make a wink.. if you do ill replace the standard smileys with all your new ones.. :)

[Taylor Moore]

Jarred, what the hell the deal with only a 163cm...man I need length for the BC pow!!!! How quickly you forget...traitor.)

[Justin Kirchhoff]

red sticker thong, coming right up!!

[Justin Kirchhoff]

oh wait, i got it, a red sticker....STICKER! man, i'm originial

[Don Woods]

Jarred, what the hell the deal with only a 163cm...man I need length for the BC pow!!!! How quickly you forget...traitor.)

I would say the same thing I'm a big boy... But If I was lucky enought to win I don't think I Would ever ride it. I think I would hang it up in the loby of my office. Its just to bad ass to scratch it up.

[Jarred Land]

sorry man.. if it makes you feel better, arriving at Sundance this year and looking at what the U.S calls a ski mountain almost made me cry...

There are very few things i miss about Canada.. and Whistler is definitely one of them.

That said.. Last Saturday having to turn on my air conditioning because it was so hot on the beach down here dried up my tears really fast.

[Jarred Land]

I would say the same thing I'm a big boy... But If I was lucky enought to win I don't think I Would ever ride it. I think I would hang it up in the loby of my office. Its just to bad ass to scratch it up.

Yes.. there are only 5 of these in the world remember.... if you want a red snowboard to ride just go buy a blank for $200 and put a red sticker on it :)

heh heh heh.

[Jeff Kilgroe]

sorry man.. if it makes you feel better, arriving at Sundance this year and looking at what the U.S calls a ski mountain almost made me cry...

Ah, we've got better mountains over here than they do in Utah. :tongue:

[Jeff Kilgroe]

red sticker thong, coming right up!!

I don't think the RED sticker thong will win the contest... Although, depending on who you get to wear the thong, that could make all the difference.

I've got big plans for one of my stickers, but I don't know if I can pull it off before the contest ends. I gotta keep this one top secret for now though. :ninja:

[Poi Boy]

Whistler is a great mountain indeed, Park city is ok but the us has many mountains on par and dare I say better than Whistler. Not that you have time for that sort of thing..keep working till we get some cameras !

yes indeed... i plan on boarding them all... next winter.. long after all of you have gotten your cameras and are finishing up your 1st-2nd or 3rd 4k productions.

[Billy Summers]

I don't know, about all that... :shifty:

Although it is DUMPING on the west coast right now... :cold:

Baker's going to be SICK this week. :sarcasm:

Anyone know the sidecut on that bad boy?

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Uh, oh.. We're starting a mine's better'n your's ski slope fight. Hehe. My fav's are Steamboat and Vail (just there a couple weeks ago for Winter X Games fun) here in CO at least for overall size, challenge, variety of terrain, etc... Breckenridge isn't too bad either, but the touristy town and parking/access arrangement just suck.. Not a bad place to go stay a few days though if you stay right on the slopes. Some other smaller ski areas are pretty cool too, depending on what you're looking for. Winter Park here is fun and a good one for the family. I went there religiously while learning to snowboard since they had the best terrain park for years, now everyone has a nice terrain park... Steamboat has the best remote access, helicopter drop options around. Although, I hear Washington and Oregon have a few great places for killing yourself doing that too. :) Of course, you could always be completely nuts and try to ski down Denali... I've heard of Baker, I've been to Seattle several times, but only in the spring/summer. My neighbors here in CO moved here from around Seattle last year, they've mentioned Mt. Baker.

I've checked out most of the major places in Utah too... Overall very similar to Colorado, although I think we just have more of it. I'd like to make it over to Europe and take a tour of the Alps someday. I've met a lot of people from over there that come here to ski. Seems split right down the middle as to whether they really like it here or like it at home better. But I guess there's a lot of factors at work there....

Hopefully we get some more snow soon here... It's been a bit warm the last couple weeks and conditions have been a little lacking in some spots. Most of the slopes close to town have suffered this year as a lot of the snow has actually been in town around Denver and to the east rather than up in the hills.

[Steve Gibby]

I learned to snowboard in the late '80's when I was part of the team that was first televising snowboarding on ESPN, Prime Sports Network, and others. Once I tried snowboarding I immediately quit skiing. Growing up a surfer and skateboarder, it just felt more natural to have one foot in front of another on a single board. When we covered the various world pro snowboarding events all through the '90's, I'd always get my own boarding in before and after the events. I've helped cover snowboarding worldwide over the years, downhill, boardercross, halfpipe, all of it.

My favorite mountains? For backcountry powder it's hard to beat Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana. As the storms cross the desert, after passing the Cascades, they somehow deliver amazingly dry powder on Utah and Colorado. Whistler is awesome...love it. I lived on the west side of Mt. Hood (Oregon) for 2 years, and I know the Cascade resorts well. They're fun...but the snow is wetter than that of the Rockies. I like Mt. Bachelor (Ore.). When we worked events in New England and up into Maine, it always seemed icy cold and the mountains had a lot of boilerplate and corn snow. The most beautiful resort I ever shot a snowboarding TV program at? I'd say Saas Fe, Switzerland. A little village nestled high up in a bowl-shaped valley, with tons of wide-open bowls and downhill.

Jarred, the closest real good snowboarding to where you now live (Newport Beach) is up by Mammoth, at June Mountain. We televised several events from there...fun mountain.

It's way cool that RED has produced these limited production snowboards...and the graphics on them seriously rock! Someone will be a happy owner of those, but since only a few will be made, I'd seriously think about making them "wallhangers" if you win one. There are lots of good snowboards around to put on the mountain, but when it's a limited edition like those I think I'd hang it on a wall in my office as a trophy piece.

[Justin Kirchhoff]

sticker contest fellas, sticker contest....

[Steve Gibby]

sticker contest fellas, sticker contest....

If the prizes for the sticker contest are snowboards, then thread discussion of where/how to use the prizes is directly related to the sticker contest...

[Ronnie Silos]

that is a sticker dress... (an example)

http://www.reduser.net/forum/uploaded/1_1171670906.jpg

I will never wash my R! :w00t:

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Yep, this is relevent... (Sorry Justin, I know it's difficult to use a snowboard in Texas). You could put wheels on it. :)

As for me (in response to Gibby's post above), I grew up in CO on the slopes here. I didn't give snowboarding a try until about '95... I still ski too and I often find I do whichever I feel like doing on a particular day. I'm just OK on a board, I can handle most blue/black rated terrain with it, but I tend to spend most of my board time playing in the terrain park or just cruising the slopes with a group of friends of various abilities. I'll drive to the slopes and often don't decide until I start taking the gear from the truck if I'm skiing or riding that day. My wife just skis, she only started about 10 years ago and hasn't gone too much (about twice a year) -- strictly a green run or two to 'warm up' her first time out for the season and then she sticks to the groomed blue stuff. I'm more of a terrain nut and that's a big reason I still prefer skis. I enjoy the challenge of making it down complex terrain, rocks, boulders, cliffs, trees, etc... Stuff that takes a bit of thought and analysis before just pointing the ski tips downhill. I've got enough mountaineering experience to recognize avalanche conditions and what to stay away from (most of the time). Even then, I've almost been caught in a snow slide on more than one occasion. I haven't done that sort of stupid stuff for a few years though... Since settling down and having kids, it's changed my perspective. I don't do too many stupid things anymore since I'd like to hang around and be here for my family long-term. ;)

As for the RED snowboard, I'd love to win it. I won't ride it - strictly wall-hanger here. It's a collector's item with a huge coolness factor and it's the wrong size, too.

I've got a few big ideas of what to do with my stickers.... One is a guranteed win (IMNSHO), I'm starting to doubt that I'll be able to pull it off by the deadline though. ...bummer.

[Gregory Karydis]

Is nudity (full or partial) allowed in the contest?
I think I've come up with some ideas :blush:

[Ken K]

I like Mt. Bachelor (Ore.).

That's where I used to snowboard when I was at high school in Bend (with Leslee Olson). After hearing all the hoopla about Whistler and finally giving it a try, I found myself longing for the empty runs of Bachelor. Whistler is just way too crowded these days. I'm still shocked nobody has mentioned Kicking Horse up in Golden, BC yet! That's some epic boarding up there. It only barely beats Baker, though. Baker just gets dumped on and you're pretty much guaranteed fresh powder whenever you go. :biggrin:

In the spirit of the cinematography thread, top three favorite mountains:
1. Kicking Horse (Golden, BC)
2. Mt. Baker (WA)
3. Mt. Bachelor (OR)

[Chris Forbes]

Yes.. there are only 5 of these in the world remember.... if you want a red snowboard to ride just go buy a blank for $200 and put a red sticker on it :)

heh heh heh.

Total cop-out. Real men do it themselves. :biggrin:

:usd: Maybe a winner of the sticker contest will shoot somebody "Shreddin' the Rad" in 4k slo-mo on a REDboard with REDcam?

Have to be AK for powder in April though...or Southern Hemisphere, later this Summer:shifty:

[Jarred Land]

Whistler still is very ridable in April...

[Poi Boy]

Hawaii has 24' waves but I sure miss the 24" powder days !

[Billy Summers]

Whistler still is very ridable in April...

yeah, Whister, Blackcomb, Baker etc. are all "open" (ridable) in April, and super-fun, for that matter:gun:

I was just thinking "Powder-wise"

Cause, the "footy" would be all that much more... "LOVE-ABLE?":weight_lift:

Wish the waves were more accessible out here!

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Wish the waves were more accessible out here!

I wish I could surf... I've only attempted it once. I had a rought first time - I think I was a bit to overconfident going into it. It ended in disaster -- As my friend (and attempted suring instructor for the day) said, "dude, you suck". I wanted to try it again last time I was in Hawaii (like almost 4 years ago), but it didn't work out between everything else we were doing out there.

Surfing takes a LONG time to learn, I'd almost say 2 years, just to start surfing. But it is, absolutely, one of the most humbling, rewarding, & empowering things I have had a chance to experience.

If you don't have a ton of time for playing in the waves, I'd suggest Body boarding. That way you get it all: Catching waves, having fun, get sun burned...and take a beating.


:alien:

[Jeff Kilgroe]

I think the day I tried surfing was one of the most frustrating days of my life. Like I said, I was over confident... I had at least tried just about everything else I could do in or on the water and I consider myself to be pretty athletic. But surfing kicked my ass. I'd love to do it again though.

[Steve Gibby]

My father learned to surf in Hawaii in the early 1940's and passed it on to his kids. I've been surfing my whole life. I've surfed all over the world, and I've worked on surfing TV programs all over the world. Surfing is a lifestyle, rather than just a sport. When asked who the best surfer in the world was, a few years back, a well-know surfer replied: "The best surfer is the one who's having the most fun!". I own a collection of eight surfboards. Producing and shooting surfing programs is almost as fun as surfing - although when the waves are good I'd much rather be out there. All surfers owe a debt of gratitude to Hawaiians for sharing the culture and lifestyle with the world.

Surfing is much harder than it looks, so no worries Jeff, I've seen many a great athlete be humbled when they first try it...

This is a broad thread that has wandered away from the sticker contest and snowboards, but hey, snowboarding is closer related to surfing than it is to skiing. Maybe RED will also have a sticker contest for a limited edition RED surfboard...that would be waaaaaaaaaaaay coooooooooooool!

[Kyle Stauffer]

It's way cool that RED has produced these limited production snowboards...and the graphics on them seriously rock! Someone will be a happy owner of those, but since only a few will be made, I'd seriously think about making them "wallhangers" if you win one. There are lots of good snowboards around to put on the mountain, but when it's a limited edition like those I think I'd hang it on a wall in my office as a trophy piece.

Mine's on the wall already!!!! They turned out great, J! :watsup:

[Shane Valdez]

163!!?? I ride 158, damn. haha, I guess I would just have to mount it on the wall :)

[Damien Molineaux]

Damn, I leave for a week and miss the contest. I could do fun things with stickers, but must admit I haven't ordered any. I could do even more fun things with that snowboard, but hey I won't complain, I just had one of the best snowboarding weeks in long time. Three days of snowing followed by three days of sun, up in the swiss alps! I still found fresh powder after three days, I don't know what everybody else was doing, but I'm sure glad they left me all the freshness.

Cheers,
Damien

[Jarred Land]

contest isnt over Damien.. it actually only starts on Monday.

[Don Woods]

Mine's on the wall already!!!! They turned out great, J! :watsup:

I thought you might have something to do with that. :calm:

[Billy Summers]

Whistler still is very ridable in April...

Jah-RED,

I don't know if you know these guys or have seen their "footy", but MATCHSTICK Films shot some incredible ski/snowboard footage up at Whiss(tler) of riders hitting a park kicker that is shot from a heli at approximate height of the riders and over-cranked. :watsup:

It's about the sickest, most beautiful, unique footage I have seen in a ski or snowboard film(soo :bleh: much style). Standard films hired them to shoot some stuff for their film last year or the year B4...

anyways, like you said Whistler IS still open in April....:detective2:

[Brook Willard]

Gotta start working on these ideas before the contest begins. I already have one in the can... and it's sure to catch a few eyes at FotoKem :)

[Jeff Kilgroe]

I'm planning to send either a 9" buzzsaw sticker or a 20" sticker where no RED sticker has gone before... Hehehe... You guys are all going to enjoy the pictures of that snowboard on my wall. HAHAHAHAHAHAA...

[Chris Forbes]

I'm planning to send either a 9" buzzsaw sticker or a 20" sticker where no RED sticker has gone before... Hehehe... You guys are all going to enjoy the pictures of that snowboard on my wall. HAHAHAHAHAHAA...

That sounds a little uncomfortable.:sick:

[Ken Corben]

Who are the judges?

[Don Woods]

I think the team at RED... or just Kelly.. (You got those flowers right Kelly)

[Jeff Kilgroe]

That sounds a little uncomfortable.:sick:

Not for me... Anyway, I'm not so sure I can pull off my idea. In fact, the timing of certain events are almost a guarantee that I can't. So I'm still thinking other possibilities. Do you guys think two 20" stickers would fit on Rosie O'Donnell's butt cheeks? I suppose I could send her two of them with a real kiss-arse <hehe> fan letter and request she send back a picture or two. :mail1: OK, that was bad... I'm too tired to control my thought processes, I'm going to sleep now.

[Kelly]

I think the team at RED... or just Kelly.. (You got those flowers right Kelly)

Haha! I wish!

[Don Woods]

:shiftyph34r: idea...

[Jeff Kilgroe]

So, when does this contest officially start?

[Brook Willard]

Monday.

[Jarred Land]

tomorrow :)

[Don Woods]

So I need to get a big sticker order in tomorrow... I think we can do that.

[Brook Willard]

I'm so bummed: I brought a sticker to seal up a leaky Panavision mag today on set... and my digital camera was out of batteries! Dammit!

[JVB]

Midnight?

[JVB]

Ha ha beat you to it!

[Brook Willard]

Crap! Well at least I have this one...

Gotta attach the camera report somehow. Wait until you see what I got back from the lab. :)

[JVB]

great minds think the same

[readyandaction]

was there supposed to be official announcement today about the stickers contest? Is there a rules guide posted... no purchase necessary and that type of things?

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Wondering the same thing here. I need to know what the rules, limitations, etc.. are before I get too far ahead of myself or someone gets hurt. :gun:

[Jeff Kilgroe]

So, are Photoshop'd entries allowed? Kinda takes some of the challenge away, doesn't it?

I'm still trying to pull off something with a real sticker, but since most images so far are comps, I guess I'll do that too.

[Don Woods]

I think that it should all be real stickers. No photoshop, and that the red team should verify that you purchased the stickers for your entry.

[Ace]

tsk tsk!

[Brook Willard]

As promised, here's what came back from the lab!

[Don Woods]

Nice love it.:matrix:

[Eirik Tyrihjel]

WOW, how on earth are they going to be able to complete our cameras when they spend their time searching for hidden "photoshopped" stickers, and verifying who bought what?

I want my camera, and I don´t care if an image is edited in photoshop - I think it´s ok, but I believe one should be the owner of the copyright for whatever images one chooses to post!

[Brook Willard]

Here's another one. This one's a photoshop, but it'll be replaced by a real picture [head-down, in freefall, geeking the camera] by the time this contest is up.

[Don Woods]

:devil: Good point.. I would like my camears as well. But if we are just photshoping that kind of takes the fun out of it don't you think. Wouldn't be alot more fun if we could se what people can do with actual stickers. Just saying I think it would make a more interesting contest. You also have to think what pize is at stake here. That think is going to be a very valued collectors iteam one day. So I just think it should go to some that took the effort to go out and get a real pic with an acutal sticker then someone at work on photoshop. Not saying that the photoshoped pics don't kick some serious ass.

[Jeff Kilgroe]

I still vote for use of a real sticker. I won't hold the RED team to verification of legit stickers... Actually, that could violate some contest regulations in some places. Many state and local governments here in the USA require that most contests of this nature have a no-purchase-necessary clause attatched. But what I'm getting at is; I thought this was a sticker contest and not a Photoshop contest.

[Jeremy Hughes]

Two categories: Photoshoped and physical.

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Two categories: Photoshoped and physical.

Ah, but at this point, there's only one prize.

[Jeremy Hughes]

Photoshoped will be a prize of having your picture on the front page for a few weeks and physical would be the snow board.

[Poi Boy]

c'mon guys...what if movies had that kind of limitation, no compositing, special effect etc.

I agree. If there was to be a photoshop contest, it could be alot more creative than just photoshoping a logo onto something. This is a sticker contest.

[Eirik Tyrihjel]

And how does one judge if a contribution is real or photoshop manipulated?

Doesn´t really matter what i think, but I would love some more guidelines from Jarred.

[Poi Boy]

It doesn't matter, there are no "real" images in print, broadcast or film. You wouldn't call the oscars a shake or smoke or maya competition would you ?

[Ace]

You thinkso?

[Don Woods]

But I think the bottom line is this is a sticker contest not a photoshop contest. I think photoshop contest would be allot of fun and can be more creative. But if you can get a real sticker in a very special situation that might be good enough to win. That would be something special.

[Jeff Kilgroe]

It doesn't matter, there are no "real" images in print, broadcast or film. You wouldn't call the oscars a shake or smoke or maya competition would you ?
No, but any monkey with Photoshop or one of its many clones can paste a 36" RED logo on Air Force One. On the other hand, actually accomplishing that in real life may be worthy of a snowboard.

I'll wait for Jarred to lay down the law, but I'd prefer the requirement be something tangible or in the physical realm using an official red sticker or possibly a very close approximation.

If Photoshop and CG creations are permissible, that's fine. Actually that's great, I don't have to work nearly as hard... Probably better for all you guys if that's the case -- Because like I've said before, if I can pull off my idea, that snowboard is as good as mine. :matrix:

[Poi Boy]

yeah any monkey ? I think you should spank your monkey for being bad. I actually don't really care about the snowboard but I do find it amusing that you guys think that something is less worthy because PS was used.

[_BK]

Photoshop or Photo... I just want to see some damn images! :biggrin:

[Ace]

Err.. sorry man, but this has nothing to do with creativity or presentation of medium or any of that. Jarred asked us to put some stickers on some cool places and that is all.

[Brook Willard]

Guys, it's a sticker contest, not a Photoshop contest. Just be honest about your submissions. I'd put money on Photoshopped logos not being eligible.

[Jeff Kilgroe]

yeah any monkey ? I think you should spank your monkey for being bad. I actually don't really care about the snowboard but I do find it amusing that you guys think that something is less worthy because PS was used.
-A

Allrighty, then... :ohmy:

I never said anything about something being less worthy because PS was used. The point was it's about stickers and actually using real stickers... Sticking them in cool places or on cool things. I don't think I'm alone with that reasoning.

[Rodrigo Lizana]

Allrighty, then... :ohmy:

The point was it's about stickers and actually using real stickers... Sticking them in cool places or on cool things.

I think what´s important is that you own all the rights of the composition you´re sending...you stick or copy/paste/retouch the sticker into a photograph you shot about a composition/idea you created. Photoshop is just a tool...

[Poi Boy]

right on Rodrigo.
Aloha

[Kelly]

I say NO to photoshop... I mean... my dress was made of all real Red stickers :bleh: ...

But I must admit, you all do some cool things with photoshop :-)

... lets keep it real Redusers!

[Jeff Kilgroe]

And I think that settles the matter. :w00t:

Thanks, Kelly.

[Poi Boy]

ok mummy dust ! let's see some non fx non animation sticker art.
Keep it real dog.

[Rodrigo Lizana]

Gonna wait for the Red poster contest. Price...a whip for a follow focus !.

[Jarred Land]

As Kelly said, no photoshop.

that settles that.

:)

[Jarred Land]

And how does one judge if a contribution is real or photoshop manipulated?

Doesn´t really matter what i think, but I would love some more guidelines from Jarred.

We know who bought the stickers... :)

[Brook Willard]

Jarred, can we make a new thread specifically for the submissions? They'll get pretty spread out in here.

[Brook Willard]

Well, in the mean time, here are a few more I shot today. My sticker's been peeled so many times that it's just a vinyl logo at this point. :)

Name that "4K" ;)

And yes, SCRATCH is "connected" to RED. :)

[JVB]

I would like to go on the record to say "mine is not photoshoped." it is really easy to click some buttons photoshop your sticker on to a flock of seagulls, but try askings a camera op if you can put a red digital cinema sticker on their analog panavision camera...now thats guts!

[ericyoung]

You could also post a photo of you putting the sticker on as proof! :innocent:

Kelly's puppy avatar is too cute, awww...
.

[Hrvoje Simic]

Ok then. We'll keep it real. No Photoshop.

[Gregory Karydis]

aaargh, still waiting for my stickers :(
mind if I hand-paint a mock-up red sticker in the meantime?

[Don Woods]

I cut out papper fake stickers just to figure out how many I would need to order. So there has been some preperation.

I wouldn't go too far down that route if I were you Kelly - you have no idea what horrors might be lurking in some else's brain! On the other hand you might know IMG quite well and be perfectly happy with their sensibilities. If you've ever wondered what makes the young male brain tick:

[Phil Becque]

I know I know - it came from a University site. I did have a really good animated GIF diagram which I found quite amusing, though I've mis-laid that for the moment. I'll try and dig that out tomorrow along with a few a jokes.

I suppose I'd better order some stickers and see if I can't put one on the speaker in the house of commons while they are having a nap or something?

How about a RED sticker on a Beef Eater ?? Any kudos in that???

I think you have a few good ideas in that head of yours! You could give the other Redusers a run for their money... er... snowboard :-)

[Jeff Kilgroe]

OK, I know it's been asked before, but...

Are there any official rules? Other than real stickers? I've got an idea, but don't want to spill the beans about it. However, I could see where it might not be entirely acceptable. Nothing illegal, but I won't go into any more detail than that.

Red is not responsible for what you do... and don't gross me out. There are some important rules for you!

[Paul Hazlett]

probably not a good idea to gross out one of the judges.

Personally I am wating for the contest prize to be the official red calendar
featuring our dear kelly in the entire red couture collection. Now that is a prize
worth fighting for. besides not to many hills in Philly for snowboarding. skatboard yes....I wonder how that board would look with a good pair of wheels...

[damonbots]

As Kelly said, no photoshop.

that settles that.

So what about HDR? :bleh:

Damit now I really have to try it.This could kill allot of stickers..

Harmless. I promise. I could not do anything like that to Kelly. She saved my ass and worked very hard so I could get my reservations in. So I can't thank her enough. I was just thinking of something that she would find humorse.

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Oh, it's nothing gross. The guys will probably like it a lot more than the ladies, though. :)

[Brook Willard]

After some technical issues and a quick repair, I was closing up an SR tonight when it struck me... screw this movement stuff. ;)

[Like my "clean room" environment?]

[Phil Becque]

Harmless. I promise. I could not do anything like that to Kelly. She saved my ass and worked very hard so I could get my reservations in. So I can't thank her enough. I was just thinking of something that she would find humorse.

Glad to hear it - I wasn't trying to impune your impeccable reputation.

It's just that I'm still reeling from watching 'The Audition' a 'Tartan Extreme' production I think. You may not have seen this, but the rather flimsy excuse for all the blood letting by our 'heroine' is that she was 'abused' as a child. If I had a tenner for everytime this worn out cliche had been used in film plot I'd be as wealthy as the venerable JJ.

And another thing that gets my goat is that the heroine (aka Psycho) decides to cut a mans legs off simply because he wants to have sex with her?? If I'd had some part of my body sawn off everytime I'd expressed an interest in sleeping with some hot chick, I'd have been immobilised before I was 18 years old. Surely it's not that much of a sin to say you fancy someone of the opposite sex is it?? They can always say 'no thanks you've got too many spots' or 'you share too many similarities with Homer Simpson for me to find you attractive' or even 'listen slap head - piss off !!'

Maybe I just hate lazy film plotting - and another thing . . . . . .:ranting2:

[Brook Willard]

Gotta bump it with a picture...

This is a composite from five pictures taken with a sticker. So it's both real and fake.

There's a new thread for submissions now. All submission posts have been copied into it. Please post all submissions there from now on! :) Just click on any text in this post to be directed there. You'll also find it sticky'd to the top of the forum. (http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=953)

[Jeff Kilgroe]

I'll have a real entry in by the deadline (or at least I better to save face). So far, things aren't looking up though. I won't divulge any details until after the deadline, but I've got two failed attempts already... The first was a guaranteed win (IMNSHO), but oh well. :bleh: I'm concocting my third plan now and hopefully can put it into action next week.

...Maybe I'm trying too hard?

[damonbots]

Jeff,

I can relate. My first idea involved 1000 midgets, a wild bobcat and a steamroller. Ain't gonna happen. Just photoshop the impossible and post it here for ***** & giggles. Perhaps we could use this thread for fun and the other for serious submissions?

Poi Boy,

I have a feeling everybody wants to save their magic for the very end. Why not use your Red sticker on your ski trip? Plant that sucker on a snowboard and do something insane. Damn, there goes my idea.
