  • 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 :)

I can't wait!

Yeah...I second that. I'm thinking about ordering another Red One just so I can have two EPIC's sooner than later.

I can't wait to find out what the details of EPIC are.

I'm still just getting to know REDONE and its not even finished.
 
Me and my production partners now own six RED ONE cameras, with a seventh one on the way. We'll keep some of the RED ONEs, and trade some of them into the purchase of several EPICs. Like Offhollywood, I've been shooting with RED ONE for over seven months now - it's been a fun ride, and the footage has rocked.

As a near 8 month user of RED ONE now, I have no doubt that EPIC will also seriously rock.

BTW - we'll also order several Scarlet cameras and several RED Ray units too. The way cool thing is that now REDCODE will be vertically and horizontally integrated and maximized through all of these products. I lay awake at night now thinking of all the concepts and ideas for integrating all of these cameras and RR into some of the same productions - and it blows my mind!

Oh well...sleep is overrated sometimes anyway...
 
Similar story here... we're very excited about getting the Epic into our inventory. I suspect we'll also keep several of our Red One's... but the Epic seems to pare down the feature set to exactly the sweet spot for what most of our clients are asking for, while adding a few goodies - like high frame rates at full res and reduced skew - that everybody will appreciate.
 
Yes, I would like to think I would keep my RED one and get a Epic but my operations is too indy for such options. Who knows where I will be when Epic launches. As for Skarlet, I would pick up 5 of Mark. :)
 
Yeah the epic is my baby. The dreamcam.
I just finished shooting the first swiss Red musicvideo. We shot a lot of 2K 120fps. The slomo looks great but I miss the 35mm Dof. The epic will give me that back. 100 fps in 5K and probably 120 or even more in 4K. That's what I've always been waiting for. The epic also will be lighter, that's very cool. I'm no siss but a fully rigged RED with a bigger lens gets heavy fast.

So the epic is gonna be the bomb at a decent price point.
 
I do hope EPIC allows for shooting different resolutions but at FULL FRAME.
I don't like messing with my optics.

The nice thing about the mock up of EPIC is the control at the back, no more "hell"stick like on REDONE.

Anyone know when we'll find out more about EPIC from the horses mouth?
 
Where does the Line Form?

Where does the Line Form?

Any word on how we are suppose to line up to buy our Epics and Scarlets? I could see following the serial number line based on Red One purchases, but how will that relate to Scarlet purchases?
Any thoughts from anyone in the know would be appreciated!

Yes, the elimination of the joystick is a nice touch. To bad the controls are still on the rear where we have to work around cables and not on the operator side of the camera. :glare:
 
I'm in with a handful of Scarlets - As far as Epic goes I can see the real beauty in that. I can see grabbing one or two. However - I also don't want to discount the idea of being able to upgrade our Red Ones either. If Red keeps to the idea of upgrading - whos to say we can't also turn our Ones into 5ks. And the Red Ray is a no brainer.
 
PS -

Mark - I saw your footage at NAB - looked awesome - can't wait to see the finished project.

i believe for Epic - they'll go by Red one serial numbers ..
for Scarlet ? i think they said they'll have enough inventory to meet demand.
 
I've had pretty different feelings about Epic. I think it needs to beat film in DR and do 14 stops or double the FPS to 240 to even approach being worth double the price. Eh...
