Personally I prefer a viewfinder for proper filming. Nothing beats it. Proved since over 100 years.

Yes.

This new machine is made for the "pros" and not the tinkerers, hence "MacPro".

No serious posthouse on earth would use "hackintoshes". No "pro" software manufacturer in our industry wants...

The Angenieux 16-42 is a marvellous and handy lens that covers a lot. It is very sharp, has very nice flares, is mechanically very well build, and thus has a outstanding good resale value.

Use it...

I've been using LTO since tape died for me with the delivery of the RedOne in 2008.

I started with LTO-3 and now work with LTO-5. While LTO-3 had not enough capacity for meaningful R3D backup,...

This ist super cool! Epic can be used for S16mm glas for instance. Great for docs in 1080p. I've been asking for this since 2008.

Haha! Thanks,

Hans

All has been said, I guess (had no time to wade through the whole thread) but to answer your initial question:

No. For 1080p don't bother about an Epic and the extra 30k unless you need:

1....

Jake, Extension1 won't do much in this direction. Currently AD is more focusing on the editing side. But I'm dead sure that we will see in Smoke 2014 many RT capabilities. BTW, with a Quadro 4000 I...

Daniel, have an sharp eye on this.

My Epci started to become somewhat noisy. Some time later it started to show the sensor's grid in den deep blacks. Blackshading did not help this issue and a few...

I'm using Flame and Smoke. Smoke on a decent MacPro with a fast raid it not slower than the bigger brother. It's a different kind of workflow. Everything has to be rendered, certain things can be...

The writing has been on the wall for some time. Adobe is the first, many will follow.

You either earn your money with hardware like Apple or BM and your software is there to drive the hardware or...

Me too. So far Red's OLPF has been famous for being soft. That has advantages but also disadvantages. Red footage needs often some sharpening in post, while Alexa footage mostly is sharp enough right...

Apple won't fail to deliver a good production box

There are too many major software manufacturers who invested a lot into the OSX platform, there are too many apple users that use Apple computers...

That's right!

Firstly, you cannot compare Epic or Alexa which both belong to the group of top tier cinema cameras to the BMC 4k camera. Alexa and Epic are proven production workhorses in the industry. Both have an...

Steve, let's put things in perspective:

2007:

Red: Revolutionised the digital film camera market and got the ball rolling. The RedOne had an akward form factor and mediocre colour rendition...

Both of my cameras, the RedOne and the Epic had issues out of the sudden that needed hardware replacement. Currently my Epic is in repair for non-working BS. Without Red Armor this can ben a...

Haha. I guess I'm one of those. My Ti R (945) sits on my desk and reminds me of the early days. Good times! Since then reducer changed a lot. Somehow the gold-rush mood is gone... no wonder really....

This thread reminds me of 2007.

Teasing, teasing...

Haha. Love it!

Hans

Long gone.

I rarely post here these days. The transition from 35mm to digital is completed and all open questions are answered. Reduser is now a place of reiterations and repetitions. The next big...

Hi Chris,

RedLogFilm preserves the most information from RAW 16 Bit to RGB 10Bit because it compresses the larger 16Bit information of the sensor with an even curve into a 10 Bit space or 12 Bit...

They fit 5K.

They come very rarely in a set of 6. The 65mm is a rare lens.

They are very different to the RPPs and hardly to be compared.

A reasonable price for a set of 5 pristine Super...

First of all, the new Sony F55 is not out yet. Let's cross the bridge when we come to it.

Secondly, as Mark pointed out rightfully, the Meizler module is the key to Epics success. Many of us have...

If the sweater is supposed to be green - and that is what you are saying - than you have a severe IR problem. Cannot be fixed in post easily, let alone in RedCine. If that happened without any ND...

I would buy one instantly.

I'm directing TVCs and such. I often do the camera as well. I don't have time to evaluate shots on set apart from content, timing and focus. Grading on set is a nightmare. Too many clients around,...
