The king Criticizer of digital cameras, especially the Red, talks a lot. I would LOVE to see the work of this "Master." Rhodes Productions “Mind Games” Dir: Phil Rhodes DOP: Phil Rhodes (March 07) Focus Puller – Short Film shot on JVC GYHD 251 camera using HDSDI out using PS Technik Mini35 adapter and 35mm primes. JVC? Is that your cam of choice there in Merry 'ol London?

Jim, We are very happy with how things have progressed on every front, Scarlet included. Great news and Claudio should have a much better experience this time around. The new mount is so much better now and with build 16 to come soon I am sure it will only get better, Thanks!

Yeah...That's it. :blink:

You Wanted to hear of a user's perspective who has qualifications: Paul E. McCarthy IMDB LINK & IMDB DP LINK

Carl, still haven't received an answer as to what you do or have done that warrants your attitude of superiority? What are your credits? What have you worked on? I have google you and looked through IMDB and you are nowhere to be found... Are you a janitor per chance?

No. That would be a terrible DV movie from New Zealand. Checking up on me? I have worked in Industrial and Commercial Video for the past 10 years for clients like Compass Bank, Merc, Ritz Carlton and the like. I have shot and produce several microbudget shorts and just finished production on my first feature with an HVX200 and Redrock setup. Does that help? BTW, when I search for a Carl Brighton I get NOTHING of signifigance. Does that sum you up?

As opposed to the blatherings of a self-proclaimed know-it-all who comes home from working a dead-end job to parade around as an "AC"? Of what I ask AGAIN? You have NO credits to your name and I suspect that you have no credentials to show for yourself.

Actually, Carl, I have been in the production industry for about 10 years now as a Director and DP. I have work to show for this. You only have accusations and ways of avoiding questions as to your qualifications.

Yes, Carl. What do you do that justifies any response on this thread...Example of work or portfolio? No... Thought so.

It is so funny to watch people who have no lives try to feel better about their existance by bashing others. At what point do you stop and realize the fact that what YOU said couldn't be done HAS been done and at a price point YOU said would never happen has happened. Carl...wow I thought you had left this forum and moved on to better things???? Carl, since you feel you are God, what AMAZING works have you done that I can see. Give me a website, or a CV or a title to rent that justifies your brilliance. Can you?

We have Red #249 and expect shipment towards end of October if that helps...

Congrats Jim. Keep up the good work and hurry up and send me #249 will ya? :P

Could not agree more. Yes I did start this thread to address a misfortune on the part of some here. Personally, I could care less if you like the RED. I do however care if you disrespect the person who is attempting the impossible and I also care about the disrespect for those who are here to learn. You are the veterans, the forerunners. What comes with that title is a lot of responsibility. Sure in the real world you can encounter some real jerks that you have to work with. But it is kind of sick and destructive that you ascribe that to yourself in a proud fashion and use it to justify your own actions. We are all responsible for ourselves. Excuses don't mean anything in the long run and that in my opinion as to what a true "Professional" outlook on life should be.

I am in complete agreement with you. We should not have statements like Carl's uttered until footage can be seen and scrutinized. This should be an information gathering forum where people can dialogue without fear of attack. However, as I have said before, I have observed the behavior you seem to turn a blind eye to happen on this subforum for a while now by its "established" members. Practice what you preach.

So what have I said that has pointed to any of the arguments or rather "hot buttons" that you like to push? You do not realize, but the tone of your posts are very didactic and disrespectful to who you are addressing. Tell me how exactly did you come into this position as judge over all who would like to create a film?-- or better yet--What experience do you have in creating an invention that rivals the pre-existing conventions of the last 100 years that allows you to treat Jim Jannard as your piss boy? All I was addressing was attitudes that are displayed here almost as a badge of honor to be rude towards anyone who is trying to create and to learn something new. The way your "quest for knowledge" comes about is more like a spanish inquisition than truth seeking. Its sad really because I do not doubt you are a professional. But I have not come to this conclusion because of the respect you show others, excellence in skill set or your helpfulness you have shown me, but rather through the contempt you seemingly have for anything that rivals you favorite acquisition tool.
