  • 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 :)

Dragon...

Will it be ready before production on THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 begins??? And that is is March i guess..
i really want that movie to be shot on RED EPIC DRAGONs................

Unfortunately not.... New ASIC is being built to go along with the sensor remember, the sensors came back from fab better than expected (better than the poster ) and have exceed the capabilities of the original Dragon ASIC.

Re-Quoting you, as now I have also the joy of going to put also the EPIC Monochrome under the knife for the Dragon upgrade, can't wait... Even so EPIC MX sensor is surely capturing some insane images it self... So no rush really, just excited to see how the Dragon Flies and Spitting fire at night, now both in Color and Monochrome... ;)

Perhaps this will give you further time to optimize the heat output of the ASIC as well.

That was the first thing that went through my head when Jarred announced the new ASIC. The 3 years since they designed the last ASIC is a lifetime in the tech world. Hardware gets faster and cooler so I think people who shoot a lot of interviews will be jumping for joy once Dragon is out.

I doubt that neither resolution or frame rate changed in the fab process... ;)

Actually I think it's highly likely frame rates will go up. From what Jim and Jarred have said it seems the ASIC and the chips in the camera are what determine framerates, not the sensor itself. Scarlet and Epic have the exact same sensor but it is the ASIC and chips in the Epic that allow it to have 10x faster frames per second.

I suspect the new ASIC will be MUCH cooler at 24fps and will probably be able to go well above 100fps @6k. No inside info, just a guess based on how far tech has advanced in the 2 - 3 years since the last ASIC was designed.
 
I just wish to use the HDR-X mode in a S35 area on Scarlet,no matter wich resolution
 
Hello,
I would like to know one thing :
When the Dragon will be released what will be the price of the Epic/Scarlet with the Dragon ? Will it stay the same or increase ?
If my memory is good the price of the Red One didn't change when MX came out... isn't it ?

Thanks !

Red One went from $17,500 (M) to $25,000 (MX) for a new camera. You could upgrade you "M" to "MX" for $5,750, if I remember well. That's the actual price anyway...

The Dragon update will cost $6,000 for Epic. Price still unknown for Scarlet.

If Roger Deakins ditches the Alexa for RED Epic when Dragon is released, I will be impressed.

Roger's happy with the current resolution and latitude of Alexa, though he agrees 4K image is much better for IMAX and similar screens. He'd probably keep shooting with Alexa until Arri 4K thing is out... unless Dragon turns out so much beyond celluloid and any of the competition.
 
Waiting for the mail from RED BOMB SQUAD!
