EPIC looks so small. Nice stuff...how did she do?

 

[Tom Lowe]

It's crazy how small the Epic looks. Amazing.

 

[Carey Lee Coffey]

Revolutionary camera. Revolutionary size. Here they are using it like a big camera. I can't wait to get my hands on it so I can use it like a small camera. Imagine the movement, the angles... the possibilities!

 

[Christian Edwards]

Man love it!
just to reiterate the general consensus
This multi-million dollar production, technically apt dudes and creative genius hanging around for this cute little box . Really puts things in to perspective when Epic is introduced to a production environment almost laughable if it was so f'in seriously EPIC

 

[Lorenzo Straight]

Such power packed into a very small package. Hope we get to see what was shot soon. I see George Lopez.

 

[Antonio Forjaz]

Tiny....just tiny

 

[Benoît-Joan Clariana-Roig]

Tiny....just tiny

Welcome to the future ! :coolgleamA:

...and let's hear it for our boy Dino one more time...I mean, he goes from Red One to Epic, and straight to work without a blink...you go boy!

somebody tell me about this purple screen... is it meant to minimize green spill or what? why not just flag or cover the parts of the screen that aren't in the shot? that way you're not dealing with green and purple spill at the same time...

these are promos they usually have quick turnarounds, watch tbs and i am sure you will see them in the next couple of weeks.

there was basically 2 set ups...1 with green screen in the BG ( for compositing logos and titles - obviously) and then we turned around and actually shot the purple as the partical background with associated jokes related to purple...this is LA don't forget purple is big here...lakers, kings, santa monica blvd.

Awesome! I didn't expect to see a completed Epic project so soon! Congrats.

 

[Francesco Bonomo]

dino, first of all, thanks for the report.
Would it be possible to have your AC to post his initial thoughts about the camera from an "assisting" perspective?
Thanks

haha dino that is the most awesome thing ever. it's always purple?!

and how'd you get the name dino?

 

[AnthonyFlores]

Like others, I'm just blown away by the size. Used on traditional size tripods it almost seems like too much. But man, it's so cool. Impressed that you're already jumping into work like this.

Also Dino, looks like ultra primes on there ... how did they perform? Was there a need to ever use the lens wide open?

[paulherrin]

if you remembered back a few years, camera rigs used to sometimes weigh a quarter ton... and you wonder why the equipment is so heavy and bulky.

haha dino that is the most awesome thing ever. it's always purple?!

and how'd you get the name dino?

nickname my dad called me and it stuck once i moved to CA

 

[paulherrin]
