  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

ALERT! Please read.

I'm shocked and upset Mark. I'm happy to hear that you and your family are ok. Keep in touch Mark.

Graeme
 
Sorry to hear of this Mark!
I bet the thieves dont know what they got there and will try to get rid of it ASAP. These are probably small gangs specialized on robbing tourists and they dont need a big black Pelican to lug around. Lets hope local police is picking up the case with sprite! Otherwise it might pop up in Eastern Europe next....
 
Probably wasnt the first, but i sent the tip to Gizmodo.

Really glad to hear everyone is alright, if, rightfully, shaken.

Itll make its way back!
 
Glad nobody was hurt, this is a tough blow Mark and upsetting for all involved, will keep an eye out here in Ireland and the UK.
If it was a random break in then the chances of recovery will hopefully be high, it will be almost impossible to hide or sell such a recognizable camera. It their are other motives behind it then it may be more difficult to trace.
 
Sooo sorry to hear about this Mark. Can't imagine going through that.

I am really glad you and your family are OK. Let me know if there's anything I can do from Holland.

So glad you got home for the Holidays!! Have a drink for me! Hope to see you soon. Looking forward to 2011!!
 
Whats is the odds? Wonder if the camera was the target or just a "bonus". Good nobody got hurt. Still it always feels personal and offending to be stolen from. Its a gps in the epic right. Would be cool if it were possible to turn that on to track the position. maby a future upgrade or module.
Wishing the new years brings only luck!

Wow...this is unreal. I'm sure it will turn up. No one will be able to sell it or use it or promote it without raising every red flag in the filmmaking world.

Thanks Graeme.

I'm trying hard to "shake it off" - based on all the details - I'm pretty damn sure they have no idea what they took.

Sounds reasonable. I hardly know where to begin to express how I feel about it though. Just really nasty, and I'm so happy that you're ok and posting here.

Looking forwards to catching up with you in the New Year.

Not the kind of exciting announcement from Red I look forward to waking up to.
Thinking about thieves breaking into your abode while you slept is frightening. I am so thankful you and your family are safe. Cameras can be replaced.
 
I hope the kids are not traumatized. Play with them and laugh. :)

Enough of good vibes around...try to use the good vibes to wipe out the crappy ones.
 
Yeah. If ONLY all GPS tech worked that way. Does the model have wifi? Any chance that the thieves, if they actually figure out how to turn it on, might accidentally connect to some open network?

even if they did... i dont know if there are any measures that could be taken, but broadcasting ANYTHING would be good in this case.

Here is a detailed list of what was stolen that is RED/camera related:

EPIC camera body #00006
EPIC side-handle
EPIC Redmote
5" TOUCHSCREEN LCD for EPIC

Angenieux Optimo 15-40mm (will post serial as soon as I confirm it from state-side)

50mm RED Pro Prime - this lens is from the first set shipped - the lens is marked as T1.9 - with engraved text that reads "tested at T1.8"

prototype of Schneider clip on circular ND filter holder ring w/ND

2 x 128 G SSD (filled with EPIC footage)
REDSTATION REDMAG 1.8"
500G GDrive mini - filled with a back up of EPIC footage)
RED Quick Plate
2 x RED Brick batteries
LCD lemo cable
lemo adapter power cable
black Oakley bag

I feel violated. Angry. Shocked. There is a part of me that feels like I let RED and the community down. All of your comments are very appreciated - not exactly how I was expecting to end 2010. I was looking very forward to posting some amazing images - and yes - both copies of all the footage I've shot here is gone.

What is important is that my family is safe and unharmed. I hope the people responsible for this theft are found quickly.

Never a dull moment.

Happy New Year everyone - and sincerely - I really do appreciate everyones kinds words and support.

Shocking and a very bad news for we RED french enthusiasts , we hope those who commit this dirty deed get caught. Sorry this happens in France, but for this matter I don't believe in random break-in at all;when one look at the bunch of items stolen its either you have being followed from the USA or the french
person who did this also knew what they are after. Again sorry this happens here in France.
 
I don´t think even gizmodo would buy an "Epic forgot on a pub".
