The concept of Red was to build a camera with as much capability as possible... for the professional market. Then we thought we could extend it down a bit to the prosumer level. Apparently, that was a mistake.
From James Jannard
Anyone who wears glasses can be an Oakley consumer.
Red is a benevolent dictatorship.
Making the leap from the best sunglasses company in the world to a world-class brand is a natural transition.
I figured, 'Why not put goggle characteristics like peripheral protection and face fit into sunglasses?'
I'm terrifically absentminded.
With the release of the Dragon sensor... I have finished my mission. I am done posting. I will no longer be the face of Red.
I have done my best. I saw a fatal flaw in the camera industry. We did our best to address it.
I have a Bolex, Aaton, Arriflex, Eyemo, Filmo, Mitchell, Photosonic, Beaulieu, Keystone - just about every movie camera you can think of.
What separates us from other camera companies is that the vision guy is the decision maker. That was one of my biggest advantages at Oakley, and it's the same at Red - I'm in the trenches, in the product development, and I make the final call.
