The big RED secret...

[RayFrisby]

Choose your partner. Choose the one that leads with their chin or choose the others that follow only because they were forced to.

I wonder is this a reference to Canons expected announcement of a 4K DSLR at NAB ?

Apart from the continually growing creative potential your cameras afford, I'm looking forward to witnessing the effects your next bout of insanity will have on the industry. I suppose having a pulse, and actually caring, is a sign of insanity in this industry.

Ahahahhaa. Love it. Great thread.

Thank you Jim. I feel a deep appreciation for RED's vision and philosophy.

Followed you guys with excitement from the start and was ecstatic to have been finally able to buy into the eco system with the release of your wonderful scarlet. I hope one day you will watch and enjoy one of my films and I can shake your hand and say thank you in person for the leg up you have given me.

Best Wishes

The Big RED Secret...

Ahh, Jim, that makes a couple of things pop up in my writer's mind :-)

The secret is... we have no idea what we are doing. We are learning as we go. And we are just dumb enough to expose every move we make in front of God and everyone.

We shoot high... really high. 5K at 120fps in a camera the size of a matchbox. Have you seen anyone else tackle this?

We are not perfect. But we are brave. We believe that everything must get bigger in presentation. And smaller in size. And cheaper. And better.

Thanks for your support. It keeps us going...

Jim

I remember you saying about not knowing. Not everything is shown, or yet cheap, or in a match box (I'm the only one that has dared talked about a camera design in a match box before) so what are you panning Jim?

We will have quite a show for NAB this year. You probably don't want to miss it. Snake oil times ten.

Jim

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! New RED products to be run on Snake Oil!

(Sheesh, I crack myself up.........!) :)

Amen Brother!

from wiki:

The phrase snake oil is as a derogatory term used to describe quackery, the promotion of fraudulent or unproven medical practices. The expression is also applied metaphorically to any product with questionable and/or unverifiable quality or benefit. By extension, the term "snake oil salesman" may be applied to someone who sells fraudulent goods, or who is a fraud himself.

Oh boy, something big is about to be unleashed I can feel it... Dragon + Redray + Red projector all in 8k?

You guys can get off this con gimmick, you have some off the best and creative minds that North America has to offer (time wave the Canadian flag too alongside our brothers). You can start flexing this muscle Jim.
