RED is incredibly proud of the Academy Award-nominated work shot on RED cameras. This year several films stood out with multiple nominations. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo — shot on RED cameras — earned 5. In Darkness, Beginners and Albert Nobbs were also honored with nominations.
And the nominees are…
RED congratulates director Michel Hazanavicius and the cast and crew of The Artist — winner of the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture, musical or comedy. Composer Ludovic Bource also won the Golden Globe for Best Original Score for The Artist. We were honored to have The Artist shoot at RED Studios Hollywood.
We also congratulate Christopher Plummer for his win at the Golden Globe Awards tonight! Christopher won Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Beginners directed by Mike Mills. Beginners was shot on RED cameras.
For the third straight year, films shot on RED have made an appearance at this illustrious event and we thank those who have showcased their talent both behind and in front of our cameras.
“If you look around CES, this seems to be clearly the year of 4K. And if you think about what is the real viable cameras that can achieve that resolution, there’s essentially RED and… RED right now.”
Engadget sat down with RED’s main mouthpiece Ted Schilowitz for an interview that touched on the entire history of RED before focusing on the Scarlet — “probably the geekiest camera of them all.”
We don’t want to spoil anything but it’s very cool to listen to Ted talk about the history of Scarlet:
This thing went through an evolution.. an image fidelity revolution in our own mind…

Cinema 5D does an in-depth, hands-on video review of the Scarlet-X highlighting the camera and basic accessories. The host, Sebastian, gives a no-nonsense presentation that’s easy for RED users and new users to follow. Of course, we appreciate this summary:
The images that come out of this tool are really stunning. The fact that it records RAW and looks like 35mm film at this price point is revolutionary to me.
There is also a second part of the review where Sebastian discusses third-party accessories.
In addition to the review, we checked out Cinema 5D’s short film, Maybe He Should Have Told Her Closer to Home, shot on Scarlet. Sebastian gives a great field report from the shoot that covers shooting in RAW, data storage, their rig, the battery, sound and even the weather. Watch the film and read his notes for a fuller picture of the Scarlet experience.
Engadget also showcases several clips shot on Scarlet.
The long-awaited trailer for Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit made its debut tonight on Apple trailers. (Watch it there in HD.)
This means a great deal to us at RED. Jackson is shooting the film in 48 frames per second 3D on his 48 RED EPICs. And even more than that, Jackson took to RED cameras from our beginnings and his support has bolstered us.
Jim explained yesterday on REDUSER.net:
It is hard to describe how important this is for RED, and to me personally.
Peter embraced RED from the beginning. He invited us to New Zealand to test our RED ONE prototypes and to shoot “something” for NAB. That something turned out to be gathering an army and shooting “Crossing the Line”.
“The Hobbit” is destined to be (no words capable to describe)…
How proud are we to have taken our camera concept to the ultimate cinema experience? Incredibly so… this is the big one.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey opens on December 14, 2012.
David Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is in theaters today. Shot on RED ONE and EPIC, Fincher’s film promises to bring a visceral edge to Steig Larsson’s best-selling novel about Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist. The movie has already been honored with Golden Globes nominations. Both the soundtrack from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross (who also worked with Fincher on The Social Network) and Rooney Mara were announced as nominees last week.
Ridley Scott, famously known for directing Alien and Blade Runner, has returned to his Sci-Fi roots with the much anticipated release of Prometheus. Shot on EPIC 3D, Prometheus stars Charlize Theron, Patrick Wilson, and Noomi Rapace and stands as one of the upcoming major motion picture events of 2012.
RED would like to congratulate Christopher Plummer (“Beginners”), Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross (“The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo”) and Rooney Mara (“The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo”) for their recent Golden Globe nominations! For the third straight year, films shot on RED have made an appearance at this illustrious event and we thank those who have showcased their talent both behind and in front of our cameras.

Pier 59 with the assistance of Leica have been testing the RED DSMC Leica-M mount in NY this week… The results have been incredible.
Justin Stailey from Leica shares:
“I had a dream 10 years ago that I would mount our Noctilux-M onto a small “box” and motion would come out of it. Today that dream came true. It was Epic.
Now that EPIC works with the LEICA-M mount, RED has just opened cinema to the world of still photography in a way that no other motion picture camera has ever been able to do."
