EPIC Schedule Update...

[Teemu Virta]

True, maybe I just hoped that was subject to change and counted on that ;)
It would be cool to have Epic for A cam and R1 M-X for B cam.

So Scarlet is the trail of the big Epic comet approaching planet earth. I think all old film (Celluloid) dinosaurs have to watch out for the impact!

Or for those of us that love film, we could get the Penelope instead and have the best of both worlds.

Don't take me as a RED hater or anything, since I do love shooting on it, but at the end of the day it's still a camera, still a tool. Like any job, you need the right tool for the job, and my personal preference is to use film.

I have a portfolio project coming up in my 3rd year of school, and we're shooting about 2/3's of the film on film, and the rest on RED.

Any idea about the timing of FF35 (Monstro) Epic and Scarlet?

[Gary Paul Walker]

I don't see anyway the scarlet S35 will be out before 2011. The 2/3" probably will be.

AHH! Dont say that! They might be reading!!

This is great!
However, I have deiced to get a fully rigged Scarlet 2/3", and a fully rigged Scarlet S35 (opposed to a barebones epic).

I'm with Sterling Jim. We GREATLY appreciate the Epic effort and know the technology for Scarlet and Epic run parallel in many respects. For our part here at Mad Media - as much as we have loved and used the hell out of RED this past year - we are desperate for a 4K, multiple-frame rate, full sensor, ENG solution. (The 5D /HDSLR stuff is OK - but has a lot of shortcomings - the most glaring of which is a true HD out monitoring solution and built-in audio monitoring solution). Meaning the fully outfitted RED is often too cumbersome to quickly move/set-up or allow for a single operator. We're big proponents of using the right tool for the right job/shot/situation...So we can't wait for both the fixed and PL versions of the Scarlet. We will literally be buying 3-4 of them right off the bat! SO - keep up the great work. Every time we pull the RED out - (we used three of them to shoot the recent Mint 400 race) people instantly understand we're serious about our shooting. The results of coarse are...remarkable. THANSK!!! -Joshua

Jim, I notice Epic-X comes with a PL mount. For those of us with an investment in stills lenses, will Canon and Nikon mounts ship at the same time as the Epic-X or do you expect a delay? Thanks.

Fantastic. Thanks Jim. One more question (sorry). Will the Epic ship with touch screen focussing working or will that come with a later firmware update? Can't wait to get me some of that 5k 120fps touch focus goodness!

EDIT: Sorry, answered on another thread.
