Being part of the first group that were lucky enough to get their RED Cameras on day one (as in August 2007) made us all feel like pioneers or explorers. Shooting some of the first public images with the RED ONE camera was exhilarating. Remember that there was no audio, it only shot 4K and only at 23.97, and there were no working EVF’s.
The day after delivery, we wasted no time and I was lucky enough to be invited to be part of some initial testing that was organized at Chapman College by Brook Willard, and Evin Grant. Jared Land even made an appearance, dropping off a lens for us to play with. Now that I think of it, I guess Scott Webster (#23) and I (#15 & #16) were invited because we had the cameras!
