RED is excited to introduce price reductions on all our cameras. The move comes after a surprise announcement from RED founder Jim Jannard on REDUSER. Under the characteristic “Everything Changes…” title, Jim stated that:
Leave it to Red Bull to come up with a stunt that’s so far beyond crazy that it becomes a legitimate scientific undertaking. The energy drink brand is sending a man into the stratosphere to freefall back to earth. Felix Baumgartner will be “skydiving” from space. He will fly a balloon to 120,000 feet in the atmosphere and jump from his capsule in a space suit. During his fall, he is expected to break the speed of sound.
Renowned cinematographer Vincent Laforet took to the rooftops to capture the final flight of the Space Shuttle Endeavour as it landed at Los Angeles International Airport last Friday. Vincent shot the landing with a REDEPIC at 5K resolution in slow motion at 96 frames per second. Read his description of the shoot and see photos of his setup at his blog.
The squealing sound you may have heard earlier this week was the sound of millions of Tolkien and Peter Jackson fans reveling in the release of the second official trailer from Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.

At the NAB Show this past April, RED was proud to present Loom, a short film from Ridley Scott shot on REDEPIC in 3D and starring Giovanni Ribisi. The film was written and directed by Luke Scott, Ridley’s son. RED has been screening that film since NAB. Now, we’re proud to present it online. RED President Jarred Land posted a download link on REDUSER earlier today.
Seeing Loom in 4K 3D on a laser projector is how it was meant to be seen. But as Jarred said, this is “a web version to tide you over till you can get to one of our screenings… which you really need to do.”
