Jim Jannard posted this online today. Once in a while, I feel it necessary to mirror his quotes here. When he speaks in this tone, something special is usually in store... Wink

"The journey...

What a ride this has been.

Scam.

NAB and "shiny" prototypes.

Peter Jackson's "Crossing the Line" from "Boris" and "Natasha". All there was was 24fps and a run/stop button.

Ché. Absolutely no camera features except 4K to CF (in the last 30 minutes). Soderbergh shooting a feature with no backup... 4 months before official release.

RED ONE released as a prototype. Customers given the chance to take $5K instead of their camera. No one bit.

Important Build 12, then Build 16... now Build 20 with new color science.

RED Rocket™. RPPs. REDCINE-X.

Scarlet and EPIC on the horizon. 500,000 views of "Testing, testing". 24 hours in a day. 7 days a week. No sleep. Insurmountable problems every step of the way. A community that demands and forgives.

"Book of Eli", "The Informant", "District 9"... and hundreds of others.

It really is mind-boggling what has happened in the last 3 years. We thank all of you that have been along for the ride. More to come."
