Upon RED becoming a wholly owned subsidiary, RED's President Jarred Land became a close Advisor to the company, along with RED's founder James Jannard. Keiji Oishi, of Nikon's Imaging Business Unit, assumed the role of CEO and Tommy Rios, Executive Vice President of RED, moved into the role of Co-CEO. "Welcoming RED, a company that has been at the forefront of innovative technology, to the Nikon family is sure to expand the possibilities of imaging expression, and further delight the market with its innovation," comments Hiroyuki Ikegami, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Nikon's Imaging Business Unit. "Combining the best of both companies and working together to develop new, distinctive products, is our goal and for the brand to remain the choice for fans of Nikon and RED, and possibly reach out to an even wider audience." "I believe it is my mission as the representative of RED to develop the market in a way that will pay respect to the corporate cultures of RED and Nikon," says RED CEO Keiji Oishi. "You can look forward to RED's future product development which will aim to meet and exceed the expectations of cinematographers around the world." "We are the pioneer in digital cinematography, and the synergy with Nikon will only help us to continue to evolve," says RED Co-CEO Tommy Rios. "We'll continue to deliver cutting-edge technology that no one has ever seen before. We remain committed to working together with the RED dealers around the world." Newly appointed RED Advisor James Jannard comments, "It is a proud moment for me to see RED, a brand that I have nurtured with passion for over 20 years, gain the opportunity to achieve new heights with the help of Nikon, a company that I also love." RED Advisor Jarred Land shared his excitement, stating, "By joining the Nikon family, a company that is known for the advanced technology that it has been cultivated over many years, I am confident that RED will bring a new era to the professional digital cinema camera market. It is an honor to be a part of this new chapter." There will be no changes to RED's current product lineup, partners, and relationship with the dealers. RED will continue to support its policies with warranties, repair services, customer services, and overall product support. Nikon and RED will merge the strengths of both companies to develop distinctive products, while leveraging the business foundations and networks of both companies to expand the fast-growing professional digital cinema camera market. Nikon's press release Less than a week later... in just four days, Chief Design Officer for almost 2 decades has resigned: «Over the past 18 years, I have had the privilege of being immersed in one of the most groundbreaking underdog tech-success stories of all time. Against all odds, a small, tactical group of like-minded individuals transformed into a focused army targeted at revolutionizing the cinematography and photography industries. We watched from the inside as RED DIGITAL CINEMA emerged from the vapor, and forged itself into an industry titan. I would like to thank Jim Jannard and Jarred Land for a life-defining opportunity and embodying the essence of true product and brand design pioneers. Constantly walking on the edge of accepted reality and questioning the fabric of the universe was the minimum price of entry. Huge congratulations go to NIKON for acquiring the best camera company in existence. I have decided to resign from the post of Chief Design Officer and confidently pass the torch on to the next generation of disruptors to evolve, grow, and metamorphose within NIKON. Thank you to everyone who has embraced and supported our unorthodox methodologies, and mechanical sculpture that defines the design language of RED’s light-devouring beasts.» ~ Matthew Tremblay -- Chief Design Officer: RED Digital Cinema (2006-2024) source: MT LinkedIn profile's post

Here is now for finishing funds: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/make-believers/murder-mystery-romance-the-orange-of-daydreams/description

Thank you! To those wondering about, it has been shot on Blackmagic Pocket 6K and Nikkor Primes (24, 35 and 50 mm) with Black Mist 1/4 filter among other goodies such as a DJI RS-3 rig for this first part of shooting. 'The Orange of Daydreams' Promo Trailer Less than 48 hours to go... Reached 30% above the funding goal, so we'll have the chance to improve the movie. Without the 46 backers so far, nothing of this would have been possible, thanks for the support! :- )

The crowdfunding campaign has reached its goal exactly today, June 12 when we still have 15 days ahead, everyone is happy! Thanks to all supporters!

Straight from the set this weekend:

Pity, people nowadays are closing their own lives "swimming in their own fishbowl on Facebook or anything else year after year" rather than these dedicated forums like before (reduser.net is a pale resemblance today of those days when people were used to come here to bash Jim... oh who doesn't miss them now? : )

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/make-believers/mystery-romance-short-the-orange-of-daydreams From the director of MAKE-BELIEVERS: Any helpful hand is welcome, thanks for watching! :- )

Your bet and love? I am still speechless but obviously proud, after an impressive 6-1 victory by my native country Portugal over Switzerland last night, going towards the quarter-finals then now... Oh well, perhaps the price to pay when we had (not only) Cristiano Ronaldo or the Italian Serie A best player Rafael Leão as backups?! The world's top right-back (but also capable of playing either as a full-back or a wing-back on the right or yet left-back) Man City's João Cancelo didn't even have to leave the bench this time... https://www.foxsports.com/watch/play-612ab9b5a001519 HERE the highlights with no comments : ) Go Portugal, go! < 3
