Module Prices???

[Jonathon Laing]

Hey guys,

Just wanted to know if any info was released about an ETA for Scarlet and Epic module prices at the Red Party?

Is there a chance RED will only release the prices when the first Scarlet is released? Help I'm diiiiiiiiiiieing for some info on this.

[Jannard]

We'll be happy to post specs and prices when they are ready... well before you can order.

[Sven Seynaeve]

Ok, then we'll have to wait and see.

 

[Lee Saxon]

I think everybody's hoping for a guesstimate on how soon that might be, Jim

Just what I wanted to hear. Thanks for all your hard work.


Jono

Edit: No actualy what I wanted to hear was "Oh hey Jono, for you, I will post the specs and prices online in five minutes. Also enjoy the brand new time tank you'll recieve in the mail in a weeks time. Did I mention how cool you are?"

Lol

My producer keeps asking me, "What's the camera budget?" And I keep saying, "$20, 30, 40 grand?" "Can you give me something more specific?" "Nope."

 

[Roberto B]

do not guesstimate like that robert or your producer will think that you'll end up buying a plane instead.

Can we get an ETA on when you'll be posting the info on specs and prices?

Budget a R1. If you are doing numbers on a project that's going into production this year you could add ~5k for the sensor upgrade.

I doubt you'd see delivery on anything in the Epic/Scarlett line before Q1 next year if you don't have a low serial number camera in hand.

Otherwise it seems to reason that since a full R1 package is about $45k you can add about 15k to that and be safe; question is, will you see a camera in time if you bet on the DSMC? I doubt it and I wouldn't go pissing my producer off trying to convince them otherwise.

Give your producer some certainty and be done with it. When the numbers for next gen are ready they will be there. In the near term get what you can and shoot your film.

If it's more than 6 months out your budget probably has more variables in it than the MIT computer science department anyway...
