People seem to not be excited about RED?

Hey guys quick question. I'm really excited about this camera. I think it's awesome what red has come up with. But when I talk to filmmakers out there they seem to dismiss it. Isn't this pretty new technology? Or has it been around for a long time? Just curious.

Red is the newest thing there is... which is both good and bad. A lot of filmmakers are pretty traditional about their workflow, and may think that digital = video = bad. Many people just prefer what they're used to, and why not. I'd say if film works for you, use it. If digital works, likewise. Also, Red is so new that few people have really seen what it can do, since the optimal end-to-end workflow is still being worked out.

Sure were a lot of stoked folks at HD Expo in Burbank today. The Leader of the Rebellion came to speak and it was so popular they had to add a second show. Dozens of people with plenty of filmmaking experience were gathered around the Red Ninjas booth asking lots of questions and showing a lot of what appeared to be genuine enthusiasm about working with the RedOne.

Buy it. Try it. If it's no good chuck it in the bin.

Denny, what is your film's budget? What style are you looking for in terms of cinematography?

Hey Denny. How was your trip? What trip? The trip to the moon. I'm assuming that's where you must have been for the last year & a half not to have heard of Red.

Take it lightly. Though I am genuinely concerned.

Hey guys thank you so much Blue I've been folowing this camera for a while and I didn't mean that no one is excited I know there's alot of film peeps excited. I just seem to get bashed everytime I talk about the red in other forums. But hey to me it's there loss. I love film but I love what red can do.

Steve,

My budget is 6-7 million, and I want to shoot it on red. I already have Hakon coming out to Vegas to showcase the cam and help raise funds for my other true story film that I got the rights to. So I want to test it on the true story first then Shoot Summons next. And I'm still working on the look and feel of the Summons.

Funny man.

We've seen this reaction all over again in the audio recording biz. The early adoption to digital recording whent quick, then the quality and warmth of the sound became an issue. People then tried to buy the most expensive stuff, and they still do just to get the feeling it will sound right, but in the end it just depends on who is in charge.
Anyway I've always tried to get a non conservative viewpont, and I definately
had to decide some day going all digital , because you just can't beat the workflow and the ease of use.

Everyone I've come across loves the camera and is absolutely amazed at the quality of the image.
