Damn, I think about this camera too much...

[Rick Darge]

...and how awesome my images will be from here on.. No seriously, I can't stop day-dreaming about this thing - I am a nerd at heart - I think I need to block this website from my computer

I remember after I put my $1K down for a reservation last summer, I purposely went out of my way to avoid any and all new information from RED, I wanted to be surprised after it was released and the less info I knew, the better my obsessive mind would be.. Then I read Mike Curtis' blog entry a few months ago about how silky smooth Red's images looked and how revolutionary this thing was going to be and POP!! Pandora's box rushed opennn

thanks a lot Jannard for ruining my life! :(

I'm with you. I'm on here all the time. If there isn't much activity, i start to get a bit nervous and impatient. :)

To make matters worse, I'm a director and don't really need this camera, but DAMNIT, I want it and it's tearing me apart at the seams. How can I be so reckless? :)

Maybe Jarred and Jim have put subliminal images in the site. Maybe that's why we can't block this website from our computers.

Yeah me too guys...

Though i'm now channeling it into pre-production for two micro shorts (5 pages apiece) that I will shoot on my Red. My excitement for Red is making me put more prep into those shorts than anything I've ever done! One is a 12th century Danish short and the other takes place in 2044. Two good extremes for Red #27 :-)

[Jason Francois]

Good luck Shawn. It's nice to see that people recognize that this camera will reward extra preparation and care and maybe not the opposite.

[Shawn Nelson]

Thanks man. Yeah this camera is causing me to up my game to a whole new level. I got the reservation back on NAB 06, and ever since then I've been doing everything I can to up my game. This camera is an opportunity. It's like being a mercenary and for years you've only had your little machine gun then you realize that you'll get a big red tank, so you can do much bigger jobs. It now means you're playing with the big boys and better plan the sh1t out of everything if you don't want to get blown out of the water. I don't want to be the one responsible for turning out crappy Red footage

Heh. Me too. I hope everyone has that attitude.

To safeguard against this, I think Jim should personally embark on a Raid of all Red-picture-trashers, (amatuers and pros alike) when that time comes, ala James Bond 00-Red

Judging by what I've been shooting lately, I'll probably be first on his hit-list. :(

Lots of res #'s in front of you...:D

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Yep, like you! :D Considering we both shot the same stuff (and you a lot more of it) this weekend, you're definitely on the hit list. Hehehe.
