“I liked what they were doing-making a digital camera of the utmost quality, and making it affordable for indie filmmakers.”
Academy Award winning Director, Peter JacksonDirector and Producer of The Lord of the Rings trilogy and King Kong
“This is the camera I’ve been waiting for my whole career jaw-dropping imagery recorded onboard a camera light enough to hold with one hand. …RED is going to change everything.”
Academy Award winning Director, Steven SoderberghDirector and Cinematographer of Ocean's Seven, Traffic and Solaris
“I have had the opportunity to test the RED ONE camera over the past few weeks, including direct comparison to the same film I shoot on ’24’. All I can say is that I am totally amazed. Revolutionary might not be a strong enough word to describe what RED is doing.”
Rodney ChartersCinematographer on 24
“Rim is dead. And by the way, so is video. The word is getting out that RED is the future, but for us it is right now. After holding these bad boys in our hands and putting the cameras through the full neveldine/taylor acid test our faith in the mad scientists at RED labs is unlimited. We’re committed to RED for every project we’ve got in the pipeline.”
Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor Writers and Directors for Crank
“We’re shooting RED side by side film. We scanned the film 4k and took both into the Baselight, compared them and then did a filmout of both, When we screened side by side, we literally could not tell the difference. In fact, most people picked the RED footage as film because of a greater dynamic range in the highlights than in the 5218. V\fe are actually inter-rutting the digital image*; with film. It’s not enough to say it is the hest digital image out then?. The RR1 image looks remarkably better than the filmed images. I thought I would never be able to say that”
