  • 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 :)

Jarred and I have been posting at the end of another but this news probably deserves its own thread.

The Dragon is out of the lab and in the hands of trained professionals. So far, the feedback is everything we had hoped to hear.

One major league production was going to shoot EPIC MX for everything except the "wide vistas"... and use 6K Dragon on those. After viewing his tests... the project will go 100% Dragon. It is a 20 camera shoot.

Nice. Was hoping this thread might have some sample screen grabs though.

Part of me doesn't want to see Dragon yet. I'm still marvelling at my Epic. :thumbsup:

Seeing Gatsby and Flight shows us how much we the common non CGI people can pull from the Epic. I ordered the Dragon but sincerely the MX is just absolutelly stunning. Best buy I ever made.

That's a pretty solid testimonial. Very good news and an affirmation of the original concept.
 
Awesome! Side by side frames of an image so severe that Epic MX breaks but Dragon kicks ass would be a real treat.

I've gotta say that as good as the Epic MX looks, I've still wanted more. I guess what I'm seeking is that "looking through a window" look when I'm viewing footage. I almost feel a little guilty because I know there are poor people in third world companies (I mean, countries '-) still shooting on DSLRs.
 
With the Dragon now complete, I wonder what kind of unspeakable amazeball projects all those freed up RED resources will be redirected too! I love how RED keeps the pedal to the metal, even after the competition has disappeared from the rearview mirror... 7 years ago.
 
There is no question that the Dragon upgrade has weighed down our engineering department. Many have now been deployed on new projects.

This is also exciting news for things to come, and while I missed this year's NAB, I am most absolutely certain I wan't miss NAB 2014, as I am sure at the pace RED has been moving along DRAGON and company included... 2014 will hold something truly amazing!
 
Everything is coming to a head. There is a new RCX and there will be R3D stills posted soon. It is all happening. We are busy times forever getting Dragon up and out the door.

Exciting times...
