    Scarlet Release Date!

    in Red

    Posted

    Keith - I apologize. My emotions are getting the best of me as my brother passed away tragically last week. I better cool off. You make valid points and make a good argument. My best.

    Yeah, shut it down at once; people are denying the Divinity of the RED again!

    Honestly, I don't know what this world is coming to.

     

    Oh by the way, what is the actual release date for the Scarlet?

    Beggin' your pardon, but:

    "we are still hoping for late summer of this year to begin the rollout of the new lineup."

    is a bit vague for us Scientific folks...

     

    You are an butt huh?

    Actually, there isn't....

     

    And, (due to an oversight I'm sure), you have failed to mention that sKarlets.com appears to be owned or at least operated by your good self <_<

     

     

    If there's anything more boring than listening to Jannard's endless spruiking about products that don't exist yet,

    it's somebody else uncritically parroting Jannard's endless spruiking about products that don't exist yet.

     

    He has his own account here; if he wants to make announcements (or "announcements") I'm sure he is perfectly capable of doing it himself.

     

    You clearly have something personal against Mr. Jannard. Like I said before, this is a Red topic area and the post I posted by Jim Jannard is news. Many of us DO want to hear what the latest developments are with Red.

     

    And yes I do own sKarlets.com, and part of my interest is blogging about Red related news. I am not paid whatsoever for my efforts nor have I made 1 cent with my site, which I hope to change in the future - I am not ashamed to admit.

     

    I am sure Jim is capable of posting here himself, but a forum is a place to discuss what is relevant to the topic just as the New York Times reports what Bloomberg said at a press conference.

    I still want prices for the damned modules etc and to have some idea of the cost of a full kit for the S35 or the 2/3"

    That's the most annoying bit of all the red marketing this go 'round. I am interested in the camera, but I can't plan on buying one because, well, I have no idea cost/release/anything though I have clients wanting it and asking for it specifically.

    ok, sorry, had to vent.

     

    I hear you there, but most companies announce their product only several weeks before release. I feel like Red is not so much concerned with marketing as they are with delivering what the consumer needs. Jim Jannard's consumer relations is something I believe most companies don't give much attention to. As for the marketing of Red products, the product will speak for itself as it has in the past. I haven't run into many complaining about the Red One.

    Good point my friend. I agree. :)

     

    Hey Paul,

     

    I certainly don't feel that I poop on anyone in here or outside of here....

     

    Don't take my questioning as a representation of my lack of interest in the red.

    It's part of my job to be up on every single bit of technology that allows me to be the best that I can be in my line of work.

     

    Without wanting to get into a massive debate about this, what you are mistaking is that most people who challenge red, is because red is dressed up as the Messiah by the marketing machine.

    We are told in great cultish language, "you/we want 4k digital....then I/we announce that finally your wishes are answered! The red IS 4K!!!" well, we all know it's not....etc, etc...

     

    Without these challenges, red or any other new technology wouldn't improve and serve our needs.

    Not at all. I am just an avid filmmaker and fan of technology! I think what Red is doing is great and this is the Red topic area of cinematography.com. What I posted was simply BIG news for those anticipating Scarlet developments. You know what I find? I find that a lot of people here at cinematography.com are quick on the attack and get their kicks from shitting on other people. If you don't give a poop about Red then why are you reading through these posts and taking the time to comment on them?

     

    I don't mean to offend but are you getting payed for this?

    I forgot that Panasonic, Sony, and Canon listen to what the customer wants and lets you in on the manufacturing design, process, and schedule.

     

    Excuse me whilst I recover from my violent projectile regurgitation!!

     

    Are you serious??

    SCARLET RELEASE DATE!!! "CONUNDRUM" - Jim Jannard (Red Digital Cinema Owner)

     

     

     

    "OK... so listen up.

     

    You/we want it all.

    You/we want it now.

    You/we want us to consider new ideas and incorporate them in the program to make the project better... as SOON as we can. The market is changing and so must we.

    But you/we don't want any schedule slips...

     

    Even with the softening of our urgency (no more 20 hour work days) and all the changes we have made and are making, we are still hoping for late summer of this year to begin the rollout of the new lineup. We have only one wild-card that could irritate all of us... the ASIC. But we are taking every precaution we can to not have that bite us.

     

    But please remember that more features and keeping the schedule are mutually exclusive. At some point, you/we have to pick one or the other. After this latest round of changes... we are done. If you want more... there is a price to pay in the schedule.

    Digital Age Short Film Competition (WIN THE SCARLET!)

    in Red

    Posted · Edited by Paul James Savarese

    I am putting together a panel of judges for the competition. Films will be judged on originality and execution using the little red box creatively as possible. This is in no way related to Red Digital Cinema, so no we're not promoting Red by means of the competition intentionally.

     

    Best of luck!

    How can you win something that isn't out yet, let alone finalized with a set price, specs, ect?

     

     

    Deadline is 9/1/09 - the camera release date should come before then. If Red goes under the prize is $2,500.00.

    Mark, I think it is safe to say that this is yet another award where 65mm material will have trouble competing ;-)

     

    Paul, on a more serious note, promoting your contest on this site is one thing, but making six separate posts on the subject, I feel, borders on spamming.

     

    If you want to advertise, why don't you consider putting some money into it? There are far more legitimate ways to advertise, with far better results.

     

    Thanks for your input.

    What are you looking for in a short film and who will judge it? would you be looking more favourably at something that promotes RED?

     

    Thanks.

    Hi,

     

    I thought the estimated price for the fixed lens scarlet was $3,750

     

    Yes there is still a lot of question to what the final cost of the Scarlet will be. If, by some chance Red goes bankrupt or whatever, the prize will be $2,500. This won't happen and the winner will get the fixed Scarlet, whatever teh cost may be.
