At least they didn't patent the idea of just any camera being on a mobile phone
Right? Haha
👀
Not funny...
That was funny :)
don't worry, Apple's working on it... :P
The sad part of all this Hydrogen fiasco is that if the company had focused exclusively on deliver a good phone with a decent 2D screeen and a great camera developed by RED, the project could have been a success. Probably the market is still there.
Exactly! Way too many gimmicks
Sony's Xperia 1 series of phones have been attempting to target this market. I have a second gen Xperia 1 my self, and in many ways love it. That said I won't ever buy another Sony Xperia 1 or equivalent Sony phone for one major reason. Sony has failed to update the software on slightly older models running near identical hardware. There is no reason they couldn't update the software, but they haven't, and the result is that the phones are WAY over priced if Sony won't give them the support they deserve. So next time around I'll probably shift to an iPhone as Apple updates the apps for all models that can run them.
Same thing for Samsung. They update their flagships for 5 years now. Sony don't do it because they don't want to. A real bummer.
The lg v10 is still my favorite smartphone of all time. IR sensor to control any device, really great sensors paired with great lenses and great software that easily allows you to manually control aperture, ISO, framerate, and color temp while recording. It also had RAW format. I miss the days when smart phones were built to make your life easier
@@billyoung9538 This is good to know, as somebody who was completely in love with my Hydrogen and also a loyal Sony Alpha user my next step was going to be a Sony phone, but i settled on the google pixel as my budget was not there to spend another thousand dollars on a smartphone. The Red served me well for 4 years, i tried to replace it 3 times and failed. The pixel finally replaced it when apps stopped working on android 8.1 and i had no choice. I love my pixel, but its in a case and its not faced with the abuse my Hydrogen was
RED describing it as "holographic" was absurd when it basically was a 3DS that couldn't play Mario Kart
Yep! They had some "new" tech for the screen but it was marginally an upgrade 😂
holograph comes from the Greek words ὅλος (holos; "whole") and γραφή (graphē; "writing" or "drawing"). A hologram is a recording of an interference pattern which can reproduce a 3D light field using diffraction. This 3D on the RED Hydrogen as well as the 3DS is holographic. The holograph you're imagining from Star Wars is not really a hologram, it is Spatial Light Rendering. The only company who has achieved this is Light Field Lab's SolidLight
The worse part is is at least a 3DS has FULL ANALOG volume and 3D controls, plus a massive library of games you can slot into your 3DS, and you can actually mod it to make it better.
I'm pretty sure at some point during the Hydrogen first couple of announcement, it was mentionned that Avatar 2 and it sequels would be released in 3D exclusively on that phone (meaning it would be the only way to watch it in 3D outside of the theater release). It was also said that James Cameron signed on to shoot the film with RED cameras THEN when the phone turned out to be... What it is, there was the big announcement with Jon Landau, James Cameron and the Cine Alta team at Sony that the films would be shot on Venice cameras and that they made the Rialto system for/with Cameron (and if we spend time searching the web and RedSuer we might still be able to find everything).
Another thing : some Hydrogen One early adopters (via a preorder program I suppose) were offered a 1000-ish US Dollars discount on a RED Komodo preorder.
I attended the announcement party for the Hydrogen. They had little booths where you could experience a 3D video playing, spatial sound, and other features. I was hoping for something awesome, but the 3D wasn't that good. The phone itself was just a regular android phone. Jim showed off a manual lens connected to the camera, but wouldn't let anyone touch it or use it. Strangely, the thing that impressed me the most was the spatial sound, which was developed by a French company. They had a sound booth where you could listen to a helicopter flying around. It truly gave the impression of being surrounded by speakers.
Interesting! Yeah that event seemed kind of weirddd. I think if they could have gotten the phone to work with actual lenses, could have been cool.
Wait did the phone give the impression of being surrounded by speakers?
@@lilmanydj Yeah. It had 3D sound to complete the 3D experience along with the screen.
@@FrameVoyager They probably could have carved out an interesting niche if they had skipped the 3D gimmick and tried to have the best smartphone camera (with interchangeable lenses). That being said, the phone industry is brutally competitive. You need something notably new every year, year after year. Even when the Hydrogen did finally ship it only supported an older version of Android. Developing software and hardware improvements to keep up with Apple and Samsung would have been a herculean feat.
@@toddpeterson5904 for real! And I totally agree. They did WAY TOO MUCH for this product
I was a day 1 pre-order, and got the "Houdini" pre-production model, I went full fanboy on this one. Was looking forward to the camera modules that never came to be. I did personally love the H4V, but 95% of the people I would show it off to hated it / thought it was a bad party trick. Needless to say, it was my daily driver up until the side button stopped working after 4 years, not too bad. They gave Hydrogen owners a $1000 discount off of the Komodo for the missing camera modules, but I already had an Epic, and that price was still too high for what I was thinking the 'module' would cost, so I passed. My friends call it the "Scam phone" and I can't blame them, lol.
No I totally get it! Yep! I just think they focused on too many gimmicks to start off with. Just go with a phone with pro cinematographer features, lens attachment features, and the ability to attach as a camera monitor. 🔥product, but they didn't do that.
Same exact boat as you. My Houdini's side button failed maybe 2 years in though. I did enjoy the color science of the cameras though -- find it to be better than my current iPhone, other than the natural limitations of dynamic range from that old hardware.
The only thing that made the whole project a failure though, in my opinion, is that they gave up on it. If they had continued making improvements and gone for a v2, I would have continued to support it and think the second generation would be vastly improved.
Last year I happened to stumble upon a NOS Red Hydrogen One on Ebay and bought one for something like $150 as a back up to my Note 10+. The red is an amazing phone for a buck fiddy. Its built like tank, looks cool, works well and has a great battery. Now for some reason, they are going for $400+ which I cant explain.
I just can’t wrap my head around how much of a failure this was but such a good idea. I think Sony finally released a phone like this for their cinema cameras recently without all the Silly 3D stuff.
RED could have Teamed up with like Sony or LG or take your pick of camera/phone companies and actually been able to make what they said but, you know, they’re RED.
Yep! They focused on too many gimmicks to start off with. Just go with a phone with pro cinematographer features, lens attachment features, and the ability to attach as a camera monitor. 🔥product, but they didn't do that.
I think the Sony Xperia Pro is similar to what the Hydrogen one could have been. But the Xperia doesn't make a ton of sense honestly, it's so expensive that you can just buy a normal phone and a smallhd monitor
Apple bringing affordable LiDAR to their phones is a bigger revolution...
The way they were hyping this phone with the pogo pins everyone was speculating that red was going to make something similar to what Samsung did with their Android based cameras. A red for 2500 that had modules. Nope. Just an expensive phone with an unimpressive camera
Unfortunately yes. Sounded like internally for the second phone they were going to have all the adapters and attachments
PARENT TROLL MAKES BAD PHONE THAT NOBODY WANTS. THE END.
😂😂😂
I'm glad sony has started to make photography/film phones like what people hoped the hydrogen to be, with no gimmicks!
And full of bloatware.
Hologram effect!
Amazon Firephone:"First time eh?"
You should have a short follow-up video on how Red gave a discount on early adopters of Komodo because of the Hydrogen, giving them a discount set to the cost of the Hydrogen. Hydrogen became a sort of backup monitor for anyone who had a Komodo.
Been waiting all week for this
😅 hope it was worth the wait!
A baffling project for sure 😳 Love the breakdown videos as always 👊
Appreciate it!
The only thing Hydrogen got right, was the price. Paved the way to absurdity.
😂😂😂 pretty much!
Finally, at long last. The coveted Hydrogen video. Banger video as always. Gosh I was so eager to try this phone out for myself so years.
Appreciate it! Fun topic to cover. And yeahhh, would have been cool if it had worked out
The fact that this thing, for all its faults, did NOT have the best cameras/camera software of all time - just makes it a lot sadder. They missed every single mark on this one possible.
They didn't even work with the main RED team on the camera. It operated almost as a separate company. Just a strange product
RED was an innovator and now it's litigious patent troll.
I just remember all the reviews at the time going "oh...this is...disappointing!"
Yep! They focused on too many gimmicks to start off with. Just go with a phone with pro cinematographer features, lens attachment features, and the ability to attach as a camera monitor. 🔥product, but they didn't do that.
Not gonna li, the red hydrogen one was an experimental phone, if the price wasn't that high, people would finally recognize how awesome the phone is!
And im typing this comment with a red hydrogen one
I was so interested in that camera but never knew what happened with it
I remember this being the first MKHD roast of a device.
Great job! Love the ABANDONED series!
Appreciate it!
SONY: "That' s just THE F..KING GREAT IDEA!" (constructing Xperia Pro\Pro i)
😂😂😂
Jannard deserves no respect. Sony, Canon or others would definitly have made compressed Raw in some time, no doubt.
Oh, for sure. But RED saw the potential first and forced the industry into it. Probably why we got an Alexa from ARRI when we did. But I don't necessarily love how they went about doing it
I remember MKBHD showing it off.
It was one of the weirdest announcements.
So weird! Haha just a cool bizzarre product. I love it
the new Xiaomi 12S Ultra Concept is a show on how this phone could have been made. Imagine if this phone had a sensor that size and a clip to attach lenses. It would sell crazy
looking for this comment, it actually really weird how sony not doing this.
I was always confused as to why they would advertise the 3D screen like it's not be done before. Like..the 3DS exists
Where can I find the attachments?
I was so excited about this when they announced it...... Oooops
Yeahhhhh, it should have been good. But they didn't focus on making it that useful for pro cinematographers.
I was waiting for this video to drop
🎉🎉🎉
At the time I worked with a rental company that has a lot of RED Cameras so they got one. I really wasn't impressed with it, you should never over sell and under deliver. It was very disappointing.
For real! Really oversold this
This was just too ahead of its time.
Damn. He was really hanging his hat on that phone.
The fact that a smaller company in cinema try to make a phone is good. I would buy the hydrogen over the iPhone 14 Pro Max that I’m currently running. And to be fair, I remember a UA-camr a year before the phone actually came out, was talking about how great the phone was using it, but when it finally officially came out, all of a sudden he went back on what he said.
In the end, all that matters is that this phone can be the perfect 3DS emulator due to it's screen
Red advanced yes, but has held back massively so I’m not giving them any brownie points.
😅 fair enough
Unbox Therapy didn't like it? The check from Red must of bounced 😂
Those two lenses are too close together, anything photographed with that phone further away than 6 feet won't have much depth.
yeahhhh, it was kinda dumb tbh haha
The 3D monitor on the Nintendo 3DS was far better. On the release day, the first phones were delivered and almost straight away people were trying to sell them at a loss. It was obvious within a few hours that it wasn't going to be a success.
Thanks for another nice episode! Is history currently repeating itself with the Leitz Phone 1 over in photography land, only released for the Japanese market by Leica...?
History ALWAYS repeats itself haha
These are the guys who said the minimags are a super special custom data medium for their cameras and that's why they cost 2500 for 480gb, when in reality they were using off the shelf, cheap consumer ssd's running free and publicly available firmwares lol.
One question? How to or can it be connect it to a dsmc2 as announced?
Didn't need to exist. It was for a customer who never existed
Nope! Good to see you 😉
Amazon did this 3D party trick thing too
Yeahhh, I mean it's cool for like 2 seconds and then just a gimmick
Maybe do the The Viper Filmstream next, it's even less known that the others on the list
Oh, it's written 😉
I still have that HTC phone! Looks like it may have slightly better interocular distance on those lenses than the RED did. 😁 It was a terrific novelty. I suppose it would have been cool to see a pro evolution which it sounds like RED missed the boat on. Guess I’ll go back to shooting with my 3DS and my Aiptek 3D… 🤷♂️
I was wondering when you'd do an episode on this! Proud owner of a Hydrogen One that i still daily drive
They're 130 dollars on Amazon. I legit still want one.
Honestly, if I had the money I would probably buy this phone off eBay just so I could use it to watch rips of my 3D Blu-rays on it. Assuming of course it supports any stereoscopic 3D content. I've been getting into 3D Blu-rays over the last year and the only way I'm able to watch them is with my VR headset, which is fine but sometimes I just don't want to have to put it on to be able to watch stuff.
I love these videos just like everyone else. I was watching Miami Vice the other night haha and I just couldn’t get over the camera so like a nerd I looked it up, Thomson Viper. The more I read about the sensor and specs the more intrigued I was. Could you do a video on this???
That script may or may not be already written 👀
@@FrameVoyager yessss, also shout out collateral
People can hate on this thing all they want. It got me to stop taking my DSLR with me literally everywhere. I was able to one handed shoot photos. With the later color science updates on the camera software, the photos got better than the early reviews. The only reasons i stopped using my hydrogen is the glass across the primary camera cracked, making photos in lighted situations difficult, and the lack of apps being supported anymore for android 8.1. The battery still lasts amazing. its the ONLY phone ive ever rocked without a case, it doesnt need one. It took all of my abuse from working on cars, to falling out of my jeep, to working on the railroad. I would pay for another phone like this again. It was rugged and comfortable and took very good photos, more along the lines of what a photographer would want and not the wow look at how we over processed this iPhone photo type stuff.
Love your channel
🙌🙌🙌
I remember watching Marquis Brownlee’s review of the Red Phone and at the time i had the iPhone 5s and was going to upgrade to the iPhone 7plus. I thought “this thing will never sell at over $1,000 for an android phone.
Today I have the iPhone 14 Pro Max at $1,700. My, How times have change.
Red Camera Patent No. 234098N:
How to take photos with a phone while holding it with one or 2 hands.
😂😂😂 file it quickly!
Damn, this crappy phone killed a 3D comeback! I love my 3DTV and IMAX...
For a quick second, I thought this was about the flip cam
😂
The idea that Jannard was "forced out" is ridiculous. Forced out by whom? It isn't a public company and Jannard funded the whole venture.
Private company is still have to have controlling members especially with it not being a sole proprietorship. Depends if Jannard had the controlling stake, so definitely possible. But like I said in the video, I doubt that's what happened here.
@@FrameVoyager Um, yes, I'm well aware of corporate structures, etc. You may "doubt that's what happened here" but there is absolutely no plausible scenario in which Jannard was "forced out" of RED. None. Zero. I'm definitely not a RED fanboy, but I find that kind of uninformed and wild speculation to be cheap, unwarranted, and offensive.
It's not wild speculation because they had a second version very far in development (according to our sources), and they canned it at the last second at the same time jannard left. There was speculation about it in several forum groups at the time and questions about it in some articles. Nothing was ever made out of it obviously because we'd never be made aware of it. But that's the reason we covered that question, because it was a question a ton of other people asked about the product so we addressed it as being unlikely. We didn't come up with it. We could have explained that more in the video but didn't think we'd have to as we said it probably wasn't the case. 🤷♂️
@@FrameVoyager I fail to understand how "speculation about it in several forum groups" and a "question a ton of other people asked about the product" validates your choice to repeat the speculation or makes it any less "wild". Did you do a company records search to determine if Jannard is still a director/officer/shareholder of the company? Did you call RED to ask for clarity about Mr. Jannard's status with the company? No you didn't. So if you cannot offer anything new in the way of facts on the subject, why raise it at all? Particularly in the context of Mr. Jannard being "forced" out the company and all that implies. I repeat that there is no factual basis to draw that conclusion, so that part of your story is simply regurgitated, lazy, amateur reportage. But not to worry, most of the other videos here contain similarly superficial or downright fictional details so I won't be around to question your dubious choices anymore.
@@greglowry5630 again... It is not part of our story. We addressed it as being very unlikely 🤷♂️ also if that actually ever happened no one would ever validate it that would know about it. But AGAIN we said in the video that likely didn't happen. So I don't know why you think we confirmed or came to that conclusion, because we didn't.
I believe that RED's attempt to create a phone, which ultimately failed, is nothing out of the ordinary and shouldn't be ridiculed. In fact, I think it's commendable that they attempted to achieve what many deemed impossible. RED had a "can-do" attitude and a history of success, which drove them to pursue this venture.
Although the RED Hydrogen did not evolve further, it presented an opportunity for the company to create something remarkable. While it may not have been suitable for everyday use, it could have been a perfect device for on-set lifestyle. It could have served as an excellent accessory for controlling their cameras, as well as a monitor for 3D shooting. Moreover, it could have had LTE capabilities to download software updates and use applications that require connectivity.
When I reflect on the first GoPro, I see a product that was initially in its early stages, but it eventually became one of the most significant inventions of our time. Similarly, the RED Hydrogen was a great product that was in its early stages. It's essential to acknowledge that innovations take time and dedication to evolve into something great.
Overall, I think that RED's attempt to create a phone was not ridiculous. Instead, it showed their determination to create a revolutionary device. While it may not have been a commercial success, it presented an opportunity for the company to create something remarkable in the future.
Why i wanted this phone primarily was the high tech body. My latest pixel 6 pro was 1100usd and the glass body is so slippery it LITERALLY slides on a flat table. No exaggeration... You can just set it down and itll slowly start moving.
Why premium phone makers don't have carbon fiber /Ti bodies is beyond me. Id pay an extra few hundred for a carbon fiber chasis on my pixels.
For sure! But that was like the only good thing about it haha
I was dumb enough to buy this phone. The phone is terrible, but virtually indestructible. I bought another phone two years later. That's broke last year and I"m back to using my Red. Everyone makes fun of me, but I can't break this phone.
They got one thing right and that's the body of the phone. Just indestructible! They had something here if they just didn't go crazy spending on the "holographic" screen. Just a simple case of trying to do too much with the first iteration of a product.
@@FrameVoyager What really upset me was the poor quality of the camera. The gimmicky "holographic" screen is crap, and if they'd just used a good quality screen from that time period it would have been fine. But the camera is absolute crap. My daughter was 12 at the time and got her first phone. That used iphone was better than my "state of the art" Red phone. This was a company known for their cameras, why farm it out. But I will give them some credit. While the fingerprint sensor has been broken for about the entire time I've had the phone, this damn thing won't quit.
Love the new intro!
👀 our abandoned camera into?
12:58 Jannard was ABANDONED
👀👀👀
Being a RED Epic-W owner I was excited for the RED phone but ultimately I didn’t buy it due to price…..funny how prices for phones in 2023 are higher than this now 🤷🏻
The New 3DS can shot videos in 3D too. 😃
But it looks like 144 Pixel videos with 12 FPS.
A maxture of a good price and a little bit more like focus on Camera and the phone becomes a top selling product.
But forgetting what RED primarily is (a Camera Company) was the leak on the sinking Hydrogen Ship
My life's work... Proceeds to tank reputation 🤦
😅😅😅
Didn’t the Amazon Fire phone have a similar type of display?
Wasn't this the same phone everyone used in the netflix movie Don't look up.
Maybe 🤔
Considering Sony’s success in the Venice line and rumors of Canon dropping new cine offerings at NAB maybe it’s time to talk about the other forgotten Big cine player, Panasonic and the Varicam line which seems to be knocking on deaths door. The EVA 1 was the last Varicam to be released in 2018 and there has been no word on updates or new cameras also the prices on the existing cams (Varicam LT specifically) have been dropped significantly. Hope isn’t the case because I love how Panasonic cameras handle and the images you get are stellar (they do constantly site their “Varicam look” when promoting their Lumix video cameras so maybe it still has a pulse)
i remember watching all the TERRIBLE reviews when this first released
They should have called the camera... R3D 😂😂😂
😅😅😅
I am watching this on my RED Hydrogen One rn hoping for a second model to get announced
Itd be cool to see the story behind the Flip cameras. I know it's a consumer camera but it's the first one i owned sent ñ and shot with. I made a short documentary for school
"mind numbingly" was an unfortunate turn of phrase...
😅😅😅
It's funny how we all thought that you would be able to use your phone as a monitor via the pins in the back and that was exactly what the phone couldn't do.
It was so disappointing that it didn't do that (at least on release.) They really only had to do that to make it somewhat worth it for RED shooters. Something Sony was able to do at that time.
If they focused on that and the lens mounts and pro cinematographer features this phone would have worked. The screen was a dumb costly decision
It can do that. It has video in, and audio in on the pins on the back, as well as a number of other connections, a feature no other phone has, and the video in does work on Red Cine cameras, I use mine as a monitor even today. A number of community projects have built working modules for this phone. I think this phone is still awesome in 2023 and I say this while owning a iPhone 14 Pro.
nice!! Drop a video about Red and their sneaky things, Jinny mag vs Red and their overhyped 20x more expensive rebranded cheap components and their weird patents. There's a lot of questionable things in the company
Already covered it a bit in the 28k video!
@@FrameVoyager yess but Jinny tech dropped a couple more videos in the past months, would be interesting to put together a more simple/shorter way to describe what has been happening :) just an idea for a future video
@@CerneStudios that's true! Could be an interesting video! We covered it a bit but I'm sure we could cover it in a series like "camera companies lied about x" or!! I could try and get a jinni tech interview 👀
Hydrogen was absolutely horrible. One of the worst products with the RED name on it. I had hopes for the camera portion but not the 3D. Once I saw the 3D, I laughed and said, nope, exactly what I thought. Horrible.
I have a hydrogen one as my work phone right now, lol
I got to play with one of these at the Verizon store. They were awful.
Yeah the one I got was not great 😅 interesting concept but way too over hyped
I bought a Leia Pad when they were available and it's surprisingly outlasted my OnePlus 8. I'd love to see a video about Lightfield cameras and tech, or a 3D camera in general. Then again, the Leia Pad hasn't had an update in a while and the last update to my OnePlus borked it so that's definitely some personal bias fodder.
How is the Leia Pad's screen compared to the Hydrogen? How is it in isolation as a 3D screen? Curious as a former Hydrogen owner.
@@AlokSomani I presume that the screen is as good or better than the hydrogen one.
I've not owned a hydrogen, but my original Leia pad is still going strong and looking nice and the second Leia pad looks better to me.
Also apparently iPhone 15 will have "spatial cameras" so hopefully more 3D content is made.
Hydrogen Phone is Obsolete..
We can now shoot in RAW CinemaDNG in 10 Bit.
Only android
So they took a phone frame, slapped Nintendo 3DS screen and camera module from Qualcomm..? Sounds normal.
It always amazes me their speak - "we had no idea what we are doing" (not only here, but also on red one). My reply is - then dont do it. Either I know what I want to do, or I dont. It looks pretty bad to hear them say that they are clueless scammers.
I have one of these phones I use as a PDA at work and it has ok battery life, about 60% usage in a day, screen is acceptable, 3d feature always a neat gimmick to show people, but its camera leaves alot to be desired. It supports 60fps recording, but when the files are played back it plays them at half speed, even using VLC. Same with 120 on a lower resolution, 30fps play back. That is actually dumb. The quality of the camera doesn’t even compare to my Oneplus 7T either, so why does it have a lossless 100mb bit rate option on videos? The phone just has a lot of weird quirks to it, but for $100 I picked it up for its a fun little gadget.
I have both versions titanium and aluminum!!! I really love them still use them ! Not bad though for there one and only phone!!! Mine still work great!
Basically a 2012 HTC Evo 3D, which had the same style of display and camera system.
Nothing new..
Nintendo who made 3DS console with glasses-free 3D in 2011 👀.
Old tech but still, 7 years apart 😏
7:08 Did they put a MS-Optics 28/4 lens on the phone?
EDIT: Upon further comparison, It has some small differences to the actual MS-Optics 28/4 PERAR Super Triplet. My guess would be they made a lens model that is *heavily* inspired by MS-Optics, along with the exact name and "MC" marking.
Sure looks like it.
It did feature in Fast 9
In Don't Look Up, too.
Why though, did he feel a holy passiontn make a phone?
And now I want one
We make it up as we go.......a bit like claiming they invented compressed raw....
😳😳😳
They should've gone to Sony route with focused heavily on video.
has xiaomi taken up the mantle in the smallest of ways tho? with the 12s ultra
Plus when the HTC Evo 2 came out everyone got the phone used the 3d effect for one day showed all their friends and never used it again that's what happened to me I was like can your phone do this everyone was like no and that's all I ever did with it. It was just another bragging point then the Kyocera Echo came out around the same time so you know I had get that too and be like can your phone do this does it have two screens that turn into one big screen actually I use the hell out of that phone it was really useful for multitasking I actually use that feature all the time watch UA-cam videos have the video on the top screen and all the comments or a bunch of videos on the bottom it was great for social media you could have Facebook on one screen and Facebook Messenger on the other you can be in the app store on one screen why your getting directions from Google Maps on the other now that was a great phone it wasn't so powerful but it was useful I'm surprised they never came out with a second version because that phone did sell they should have came out with a second version with bigger screens less of a bezel and a hell of a lot more powerful I would have bought the Kyocera Echo 2
I think the whole phone was a scam to try to make a quick buck. They hyped it up to sell a bunch then walk away with it.
I'm suprised you went this entire video without mentioning the Nintendo 3DS a single time.
Like, I get it, game console not phone, But also the stereoscopic "no glasses 3D" tech was made by Nintendo RND with a NINTENDO GAMECUBE PROTOTYPE! Originally meant for Luigi's Mansion!
Imagine how funny it is to think you invented a brand new super video display only for Nintendo to have a prototype from the late 90s that does the same exact thing
Looking back, it's kinda obvious now that the "Innovation" mindset typical of RED products was almost like an infection for this project. There was a desire to /revolutionize the industry/ yet again, possibly because RED was used to turning the heads of that greater industry, and not so much the... everyday filmmakers. Realistically, a good phone that brings "cinema camera functions" to the table better than /any other smartphone/ would have been revolutionary enough for the right demographic of people. Almost every filmmaker at any level has a phone, after all... but ambition made this project bloated and gimmicky. You have to wonder if RED would have handled it differently today, with the perspective the may have from marketing/selling the Komodo. The Komodo's features aren't a mindblowing or sensational for The Future Of Digital Cinema As We Know It, but it is an effective product, because it is /all that it needs to be/ for indie market success.
