Hey all, Considering getting myself/family a 4k TV this Christmas, and the Sharp 70 inch THX seems like the best size/performance/value ratio. Especially with holiday sales, could come in around 5k. The only problem is content. Odemax is fine for pros, but for the wife/family--I'd love to...

Hey all, I've been away from the forum for a really long time... but I have a 4k question that's been kinda burning a hole in my head, and thought I'd ask it here. I was considering investing in a 4k TV, as the prices are getting closer to HD and within reason (such as the 65 inch Sony for...

I hope the performance of this is good. If so, it will be very promising on the Epic for night work: http://nikonrumors.com/2011/07/27/new-full-frame-noktor-hyperprime-50mm-f0-95-lens-will-probably-come-in-a-nikon-mount.aspx/ Obviously, won't perform quite as well as the $10,000 Noctilux ...

A glimpse into why Leica lenses are so good: http://vimeo.com/26251829 Maybe Red can do a video like this showing the making of the Epic-M? :)

Hey Red Team, Just came across this post at a Leica forum and wanted to know Red's thoughts ... http://photorumors.com/2011/07/07/bringing-a-digital-camera-on-a-plane-kills-pixels/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+PhotoRumors+%28PhotoRumors.com%29 It could be total...

We all know about this, but it's looking pretty awesome so far: http://www.macrumors.com/2011/06/24/hands-on-video-of-lacie-little-big-disk-ssd-with-thunderbolt/ Very excited to see how much faster this makes working with Red footage.

Hey guys, I know iMac's are not typically beefy enough to work effectively with Red footage, but curious about anyone's thoughts regarding the new one ... http://www.apple.com/imac/ Given that I already have a Mobile Rocket and 2009 MBP, I would transcode with the Rocket to ProRes and then...

Hi Guys, I'm doing some research into 3D rigs, and considering investing in several later this year. It would be exclusively for the Epic -- and the two main players seem to be the 3Ality TS5 and the ET Atom. What I'd like to know are the respective strengths of each system are. And of...

Hey John, If you still check the forums, wanted to thank you for this article and your overall great publication: http://www.fdtimes.com/news/arri/believe-beyond-4k/ I was one of the people who gave you a hard time for seemingly forgetting to include Red in previous 4k articles ... but I...

Glad to see this little writeup about the Epic from a "DSLR Guru" ... including some rumors I never heard about: NAB Cameras Pt. 1 Vince is a great guy, very generous sharing info and teaching. Cool to see him so high on the Epic. It appears as though it is pretty much the camera that...

Hi All, (warning: this post is a bit long and perhaps fanboyish, but fun and informative) Just wanted to give my quick NAB experience and why it was soooooo worth it, even though I'm a bit of a Red newbie (less than a year). 1. Meeting the Red team. Yes, I've had the privilege of meeting...

I'm really excited about this: http://www.thefoundry.co.uk/articles/2011/02/28/222/storm-launch-at-red-studios-hollywood/ Who else will be there? Looking forward to meeting some more really awesome Redusers :) Anthony

Okay, so I generally like FDTimes (thanks Sanjin) -- especially their coverage of Leica, Angenieux and some other cool things. But it's bit weird how enamored they are with Arri and Sony ... and how they act like Red doesn't exist. Case in point...

Hi Guys, If budget was not a problem and you wanted the ideal Mac Pro setup for Epic work (well ideal, but not insanely priced) ... how would you configure it? I was thinking ... - Two 2.93GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon “Westmere” (12 cores) - 32gb memory - Raid card - 4 x 2TB hard drive bays (do...

Hey guys, I'm not looking to debate whether 3D is good or bad (plenty of that here) ... I'm just curious: There seems to be an explosion of 3D filming happening, and I'm a bit perplexed ... who/where is all this 3D production for? Let me explain ... only a very small % of feature films can...

Hi Guys, I'm still fairly new here, and new to cinematography ... but I'm part owner in a company that's creating a new online product -- one where playmates deliver instructional videos to men about dating and relationships. We are going to be shooting in Los Angeles on a...

Everyone says one reason why people love the Alexa is the ProRes module that makes it faster to get into post. Obviously, I'm sure Red has heard this, listened and is acting accordingly. But what if Red took it one step further ... since not everyone edits with Pro Res or on FCP, why not a...

Hey Guys, Obviously, it's a a little while away ... but I know many Epic buyers are dying for the FF35. Also, as has been discussed many times, there's going to be an issue of 6k/FF35 coverage for most S35 lens sets. Many have expressed that once more FF35 cinema cameras are out, companies...

Hey guys, with most Epic/Scarlet configurations not weighing much ... and the desire to be more "mobile" -- just curious if anyone is looking to move in the direction of lighter tripods? And if so, which ones? I've used the OConnor 1030hd and it's amazing (probably the one I'll go with). But...

Hi Guys, Wanted to start a thread about all the different aspects/issues of the Epic rental process -- and hopefully get feedback/input from those with more experience than I have .... 1. What will be the typical daily rental price for the Epic-X? I know that basic RedOne packages -- with...
