One year ago from today I decided to dive head 1st into the realm of digital cinema when I took the plunge with the RED and placed my reservation for a RED ONE™. I have been following the RED development since the very beginning but I did not personally bite until NAB 2007 when RED screened the Peter Jackson test footage which was a short film called “Crossing the line”. What’s that old saying, “Seeing is believing” …lets just say the the image results from the show were jaw-dropping and sent a ripple into the community. I do not care what the specs are, I need to see it to believe it…and RED, I am a believer!

Mr. Peter Jackson’s short film was the result of a camera test on two limited beta model RED ONEs (Borris & Netasha) with only one feature enabled, Record Run/Stop. After only watching 30 seconds of his WWII short film I was sold immediately and placed a reservation for RED ONE build #1781. You can read all about the RED, poke and prod for hours on end but nothing taste better then the proof thats in the pudding.

I am not alone, an army is brewing… so let the waiting games begin.
