What People Are Saying About RED
"I liked what they were doing-making a digital camera of the utmost quality, and making it affordable
for indie filmmakers."
- Peter Jackson
- Academy Award winning Director - (Director & Producer of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy & 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."
- Steven Soderbergh
- Academy Award winning Director - (Director & Cinematographer of Ocean's Eleven, 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 Charters
- (Cinematographer on 24)
"Film 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. We are actually inter-cutting the digital images with film. It's not
enough to say it is the best digital image out there. The RED image looks remarkably better than the
filmed images. I thought I would never be able to say that"
- Jon Farhat
- (VFX Supervisor of Wanted)
