It seems the "Ladies" in Vegas don't care what you wear as long as the platinum American Express card is taped to your forehead.
I like the t-shirt idea but might make one unwelcomed in other manufacturers' booths, eh?

They won't even know what the number means. Everybody's in denial. And when RED does ship, and people start making great images that blow everyone away with it--they won't even know what bit them in the ass so hard. The nay-sayers won't have even have seen it coming. Heard another stupid story, told second-hand, from some film DP guy today:Originally Posted by sharkguy
Sound Recordist to Film DP Guy: "So what do you think about this new RED camera?"
Film DP Guy: "Well, RED just won't have the latitude of the Dalsa. The Dalsa has 12 stops of latitude; RED only has XX stops."
Well, golly gee f-----g whiz! Lemme see . . . I could RENT (never buy, 'cause they're not for sale) a Dalsa Origin with a single zoom lens for $18,000, and be able to shoot for FIVE WHOLE rental days, or I could OWN a RED ONE and shoot whatever I want, whenever I want, at whatever frame rate I want, with virtually ANY lens I want (including that huge PILE of Nikkors that I ALREADY OWN), for the rest of my life, all for just the price of renting a Dalsa for a few days. Hmmmm . . . Don't you just love it?

Ralph I know what you mean...
I mentioned to a DP that I was AC'ing for that I had a Red reservation and he just laughed at me.
He who laughs last...?

Yeah, I know! So, I go talk to this other DP on a some big TV show that's shooting with four F900s, and I go, "So what do you think of this new RED camera? He's a DP on an all-HDCAM set, so I thought he may have at least SOME awareness of RED. And he answers, "Well, I'm more excited about getting one of those Sony V1s!" Huh? HUH? WAKE THE F--K UP, HOLLYWOOD! READY OR NOT, HERE COMES RED!!!

Kind of puts everything in perspective, doesn't it...
02-12-2007, 08:34 PM
Holy Shit!!! Ralph, have you got TWO RED reservations?!? OMG!!!
02-12-2007, 08:51 PM
No, I'm cheating! It's my friend and business partner's reservation number--the one I talked into reserving at the last minute. He never goes on the Internet, so I thought I could "claim" his number.

I think there should be a slogan for NAB, and people can put it on whatever they like; T-shirt, cap, flask - along with their number. It'd be fun to see people sending in images of others they spot displaying it somehow. Maybe even a prize for the most original use of the slogan. Reading this thread what about:
"XXXX the naysayers - #445"
Bring on the suggestions, I think it'd be fun.
