  • 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 :)

Enough discussion. Place your bets.

it has the exact same specs as the red one except it's a still camera.:bleh:
 
Jim doesn't have a history of making crap. Whatever it is, I think scarlet is largely underestimated.

We'll see at NAB.... and most likely end up waiting longer.

I think I'd be happy with my 5D then. Plus it sort of goes against it being a motion capture camera, but I guess you can capture motion with a still camera if the frame rate was high enough.

Somebody hasn't been reading these threads. When people are posting 4K, 35mm sensor, etc, it's kind of impossible to live up to the unrealistic expectations some have.

I'm sure it will be cool for what it is, but there are going to be lots of disappointed people as well.
 
35mm Mysterium (same sensor)
1080 24p & 60i

18-85mm fixed lens with DOF

LOL. so how do you operate it, do you phone somebody ...

for documentary production.....press 1

for television drama...press 2

for film production....press 3

otherwise hangup and try another camera
 
My guesses:

1) Will DEFINITELY shoot 2k minimum
- based on Jim's repeated statements these formats (720p and 1080p) are a "WASTE of time":
"http://www.reduser.net/forum/showpost.php?p=62945&postcount=1"

2) Not 4k
-not only is not supposed to compete with Red One which already shoots 4k, wouldn't shooting 4k require 35mm glass thus requiring to be no longer "pocket"?

3) records to CF.
totally makes sense..they have red cards, they know they work, and it's compact enough for a "pocket" cam.

4) shoots RAW
anything less is uncivilized.. offifically announced Scratch Support pretty much confirms it will shoot raw imo.

5) 4,999.99
Just a guess like anyone else.
 
First affordable ultra wide!

First affordable ultra wide!

114-degree AOV fixed zoom lens (14-24mm equiv in 35mm still film)
1/4" 2K 24-30p sensor
RAW, CF
$5,000

I think the principle clues Jim has given us is that it's for professionals and it will have a far wider market appeal than the RED ONE. So what's the one shot that you can't get today with any mass-market camera, or even the RED ONE?

Wide-angle, cramped-corner shots! Think David Mullen's capsule shot in The Astronaut Farmer, or the dashboard shots on The Office (their quality is so poor that they stick out like camera-phone footage). Such shots require a pocket size, wide angle lens, and would beautifully complement the RED ONE. Plus, it would be revolutionary in an industry fixated on telephoto and high zoom ratios.

There is a severe lack of high-quality wide angle high-resolution cameras right now. The best value right now is the 68-degree AOV, such as I get with my XH A1; and even then the lens is riddled with chromatic and spherical abberations, distortion, coma, vignetting, you name it. (Not to mention the additional degradation brought on by adapters if you want to get into ultra-wide territory.)

It will be for people who have the good taste to appreciate wide angle cinematography.

it will come

it will come

It will come guys, just gotta be patient, everything at the right price and time, everything will come unless some kind of natural disaster happens, but if you see what we had twenty five years ago and what we have now, it makes you think, and the development of new technologies is constantly geometrically speeding. If everything goes cool, let´s see in another twenty five years, could you imagine how our tools will be, but I guess that a good lense will always be a good lense, unless they pull some weird based gelatin scanners that pick up density and reflection and process it like the eye, it might be infinite, and you can pick up a microspe and you would be able to see as far as you want, but there are limits, I guess our own eye, so that is where we are aiming for. And good looks, and we will always need a good script, and the dessire to tell a story. I believe we are priviledged to live at this time and place that we can afford to play with human minds and amazing toys, instead of making our own bread or searching for water of health, you know, the basics.
By the way I´m shooting a feature in Quito, South America. I want to shoot with red, I´m not a tech genius like some of you, but I´m not stupid and I´m certain the future has leaped like ten years at least thanks to red and I want to start with the right foot. I need a red in the month of August, wanna shoot for 40 days and get amazing visuals. That is my expertise, playing with images. As a cinematographer, my dream is to make it perfect. And most important, I will need a genius that rocks, that nows everythng about the camera. So if you now anybody that is interested to join this adventure please let me know. And from now on I will use the right post, but I just like some of the dry sarcasm in some of the answers to the thread.

Thanks
