NAB... still no official RED NAB forum UPDATES

But I found something for us all !!!!!
http://vimeo.com/22274762

Thank God for this visitor to NAB, Emmanuel Pampuri or other wise we would have hardly anything from NAB to see at all.

Come on RED. What's happening.
You have tens of thousands of clients here wanting some Official RED NAB news.
What's happened to your PR people?
 
Mark, a lot of them are working hard on the show floor. I have seen first hand what goes into prepping for one of these shows and it is crazy. Sometime all hands on deck type of affair. I think they are letting the scores of bloggers handle the news part of it, and some stuff has trickled in. NAB can be a bit of a cluster for bandwidth, so perhaps that's an issue. I'm sure Mike Seymour will have some great stuff up on his site. He always does a great job.

The thing to watch tonight is Supermeet. Check here for live possibly. http://www.pixelcorps.com/live/
 
Mark, are you Epic-M? NO Epic-X have shipped as far as I know...just the much more expensive Epic-M's. Good for some people, but no way I'm going to spend $20,000 more just to be first. I'll wait hopefully 100 more days. :-)
 
With EPIC-M's the serial or delivery dates of R1's doesn't come in to play. They are hand picking people specifically for various reasons who is sold an 'M' from the list of who has requested interest for the time being due to limited numbers. They have said that they will still make 'M' model cameras after 'X' is shipping to whoever wants what comes with. From all reports there is only a very small percentage of the few hundred that are in individual hands as the vast majority have gone to studios directly on a number of major feature films. Serial numbers from R1 also do not mean anything when it comes to 'X' delivery...it is going on the date of delivery.

Thanks Steve.. :)
Mike will save us.

Just watched that video, Ted said a few hundred had shipped? I'm 158... now I'm confused.

It sounded like it was in the context of a few hundred EPIC-M's shipped and "out there".
 
Mark, I would hope you will be on that list to get Epic-M. I know you will put it to good use.
 
What I've seen at NAB.. For you guys who can't make it.

What I've seen at NAB.. For you guys who can't make it.

Here is a brief run down of what I know.. I am sure it's been posted elsewhere, but what the hell:

1: There is a new Ipad App being developed.. It will allow control of Epic and the various "Looks" Saturation, Exposure, color balance, etc. "live" so the DP grabs an Ipad, dials in his/her look and it's in meta-data on the camea and the results are instant.. No more doing it in REDCineX and then downloading it to the camera if you don't want.

2: You will be able to swap different OLPF filters on the EPIC if you wish.. You can get an "Alexia Style" that softens and gives the impression of more resolution or dynamic range (I forget which), or more ND.. Whatever.. Very very cool.

3: Premiere 5.5 will support EPIC and already supports the new color science.. Also have much better control now with histograms and shit.. :) There is a 15% discount during NAB.. Look this up and take advantage of it.

4: Jarred changed the color of his EPIC AGAIN! Now it's dark grey.. I swear that guy is worse than my wife is with shoes! :)

5: I get the impression from Ted and Jim (This is not official, it's me reading Tea Leaves and watching body language cause I'm deaf as a stone) that the Japan thing is a little worse than they thought even from a couple days ago. It's taken a toll. There more gray hair on these guys than last time.. Well... On Ted.. With Jim... Not so much... Hair that is. :)

6: Band Pro will be selling EPICS but ONLY with a set of Leica lenses. I think they said 5. They will cost a LOT.. SO this deal will not be for everyone. They are a different channel.. Not competing with RED at all.. But it does say a lot about their relationship with RED. Good on them..


Finally waiting on word about the new Final Cut.. Hope this helps people who are not here.

Then Mark you will be pleased to know that our Epic M8 was tested on Clay's shoot in NY underwater, warm water that was,
inside the UWH for nearly 3 hours strait were the temperature inside the housing was good in off to cook an egg... ;)

As mentioned here... Epic Introduction

EPIC M8???


Performed flawlessly non stop without a single heating warning, just beautiful, so Heat test PASSED!!

Get an Epic M, you will not regret its build quality and Titanium mount either... ;)
 
Immensely helpful Jay.
 
Thanks Jay, much appreciated ...

7: RED RAY Pro shipping in 4-8 weeks, $7,500. :hurray:

8: RED RAY Prosumer end of this year (?), $1,000 target. :shocked:

9: I told Jarred if he didn't like his 'white' EPIC any more, I could find a use for it... No dice. :violin:

10: Most heard question by a factor of many? Not 'when EPIC'?'. Not 'when Scarlet?'. It was 'where can I get a DRAGON t-shirt????'. Jim missed a trick; he could have sold a boatload :rofl:

11: Re. 5 above, I definitely got the same impression. I think I heard RED have people on the ground in Japan trying to sort things out, but are also negotiating alternative non-Japanese sources in case that doesn't work out. Neither are yet anywhere near yielding the required parts.... patience is advised.

Wit pleasure, however here is the official page: http://www.red.com/store/epic/product/epic-m in case you have missed, do email Kelly,
but if you have anything to showcase why you should get one instead of an other please do also fill free to showcase so, you never know... ;)
 
Mark , Ketch

Why does getting a camera, after a deposit is taken, and a long waiting period, have to decend into a popularity / beauty pageant?

It's a shame that after the delays, EPIC M orders can't just be fulfilled to those who have been loyal and patient, in RED One delivery order.
