Hey all, just wanted to let you know that yesterday we finally got an email from RED containing our FEDEX tracking numbers! Our first camera will be reaching customs on Monday and hopefully will be with us no later than next Friday.

The almost 2 year wait is finally coming to an end and the truly exciting times are just about to begin. A great time to be alive and a filmmaker!

I don't post much here so I might be a bit unknown to all but I really feel like I know personally a lot of the regulars here. I think I've read every post here religiously and I can't express enough how this site has helped us garner a comprehensive amount of knowledge regarding the RED camera and it's operation.

I want to take the opportunity to thank everybody for making this amazing community a reality. Especially Jarred and the RED team.

A special thanks also to all the beta testers for their commitment to help the community, specially people like Mark from Offhollywood, Gibby, Mike Curtis, Haakon, David Mullen, Finner, the RED ninjas and the moderators that have shared invaluable knowledge all over here.

I take the opportunity to announce that we will be launching RED RENTALS MEXICO pretty soon. It will be the only rental company in Mexico specialized entirely in the Red camera and it's workflow. Besides the cameras, our catalog will also include additional camera accessories and lenses (such as Cooke S4's and Arri Ultra and Master Primes) and a comprehensive list of professional grip and lighting equipment.

We will also offer a complete post workflow in our facilities including editing via FCP 2K stations, audio remixing and finishing and a full Scratch seat for conforming, color correction and finishing.

If anyone is interested in doing some tests with the new camera and workflow, be sure to contact me any time.

We will be sure to try and give back some to this great community. Expect a lot of footage, pictures and comments on the camera from us. Mexico will look amazing in 4k!

Finally, a huge thanks to Jim and the rest of the team for making RED a reality. And a special mention to Dan Duran for being the carrier of the good news and a great RED representative.

Red team, your commitment and dedication is truly changing the face of our industry. Keep it coming!

That's great Luis. Congrats and have a blast!! I know exactly how you feel.

I received two of the three boxes Red shipped to me today. The last one just cleared customs this afternoon and will arrive in town Monday morning.

You're gonna love it Luis!

Infact, you'll love the camera so much that you'll most likely end up sleeping with it in bed, just the two of you.....

That is unless you have a wife, in that case, your RED will be in between the two of you. :huh:

Thanks Craig, I still envy you a little for having yours already! BTW I once flew to Kelowna to get to Salmon Arm, BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY! BC is amazing. Let's see some footage of that amazing lake!

And Alex, what can I say, my wife is understanding and almost as excited as I am, but I still wonder how much is enough! I recently saw Ilegal, congratulations! if you could do that with HVX... Let me know if you're willing to work in MX as a DP, we might even get some work for your camera as well. Let me know if you have a reel online and what you think about this.

Thanks and enjoy your toys, I'll join the playground pretty soon!

Luis,
I'm in Baja with a red and underwater housing. Red #2 is coming as well. Keep in contact if you plan to shoot over this way or you need underwater shooting.
Saludos,
Johnny

Luis, thank you for the compliments, "Illegal" was a great shoot and I'll always remember it!

I'd love to work in Mexico! Send me an email to 4K@AlexanderNikishin.com and I'll send you out a copy of my reel.

I've been enjoying the camera way too much, I'm sure you will too! :w00t:

Almost. The camera wasn't in the first two boxes. So it'll be in the box still to come on Monday. Good 'ol Murphy!
