  • 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 :)

Shut up and shoot that RED (NSFW)

My Epic does this to me at 4000 ISO/Tungsten

I really expected to have to trash it after reading abot the effects of the pricechange, but I guess I'll just hang on to it for a little longer...

Hm...

Like last year when the uproar in the Scarlet camp was at its worst, I really think rational stuff is out of the loop, so I'll just shoot a bit to find out really how worthless these cams have become...
 
Thanks for the picture Gunleik



Matin,

Should't you make a new thread section:

Money talk

It would make some clean up as for the last days there was a lot of "money talk"

Or just move all the "my Epic is now worthless!" threads into the complaints subforum, perhaps... it was nice to have the Epic subforum full of threads about using the Epic.
 
Currently working withthe Canonmount...
Must say that working with stills optics is quite a different experience....

But I have decided not to give up on it, just yet...

Would love to get back to discuss solutions and potential iin and with the cameras.
The only thing that will enhance perceived value over time, is imagery.
Personally I probably will not be able to afford the Dragon Upgrade, so my mission is to do the most out of what I have.

And to me, the Epic is kinda useable, even it its current shape....
 
Hi,

The price drop is only on the body guys...all other stuff is still expensive...but what happens to the hundreds of EPICs delivered after the price drop and NO FILM LENSES to shoot with..
unless RED have something up their sleeve on Lens front...what I feel is RED is increasing their EPIC base and then launch the DRAGON...and I think SCARLET will die a natural death..

+1 for lenses.

For me it would be great to have a "5k grade lens" with Nikon Mount 24-70 2.6 with Autofocus abilities (silent smooth motor) and the best manual focus experience for a photographic lens with minimum 90 degree rotation between Inf-1m.

Please Santa Claus!

PS: I think RED could build lens wich is not necesserly with a PL mount.
 
Hi,
....and by decreasing the prices of EPIC and declaring the BT RED MX they have killed the second hand EPIC and MX market......now you have to stay with your EPIC and get the Dragon upgrade

There is no exit route to this unless you want to throw away your gear at ridiculously low prices...

Agreed. Now as Epic owners our only alternative is to go out and shoot something or have our clients shoot something, that looks even better than Spiderman 4 or The Hobbit (after the Dragon comes out, of course). RED has backed us into a corner of being forced to shoot superior footage at the lowest possible price. Damn!
 
Guys. I don't want to work on this thread if it disintergrates to just another "RED screwed me", thread. There are enough of those allready, and I have decided to NOT argue with that perspective anymore. Keep the complaints in the allready open threads, please. And then, rhose who happen to like to work with the cam and still kinda like its capacities can go here.

I am not RED in any way, and can thus not help you with your pain...
 
I shot some slowmo stuff for a music video in the last couple if days. I was afraid of what it would look like as we did 350 fps 1K HD, and in the past I've had trouble with 2K. But after picking up some pointers here at Reduser it really turned out very well. (Luckily the 1K footage will be intercut with Canon 7D footage so it should blend in well)

So did my camera actually get better after the price drop? Thats what I'm asking;-)


Now I just want to go out and break some more stuff ;-)

This test is flawed. You should have shot the same model on the same lens before the price change. I expected better from you, Gunleik.

Haha, yes, right should be right. Do a before and after!
 
On another positive note, my insurance company just issued me a refund check based on the readjusted values :coolgleamA:
 
I think an EPIC with a Global Shutter would do well. heck even a RED ONE with Global Shutter. Whip Pans are Cool. Rolling Shutter is and Always will be Very narly
