  • 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 :)

Could be anywhere in the world today.
A mate just came around to borrow a Canon 5d off me. I quite literally haven't pulled it out of its box in over a year.
He sat it next to the EPIC that was sitting on the table and we both burst out laughing. We just didnt realise how big the canon was and how small the EPIC was...

So much horse power in a little box... still got me stumped how they've done it.

Magic... :-)

The weight is:

Canon = 1080P at 24fps with 4:1 line skipping

EPIC = 5K at 120fps with no line skipping.

Great. Thanks for the side by side photos. What is the weight of the Epic brain plus the accessories you have shown?

Cheers,

This would probably be a good time to remind our customers that we shot high with the specs and size of EPIC. I don't think anything like this has ever been attempted by anyone before. It seems like it takes a "new" company that "is too dumb to know what not to do" to try something like this.

Our team fought some impressive obstacles to get these type of specs crammed into a little body. Since we really had no idea what we were doing... it shouldn't surprise anyone that we were late in finishing this project.

I guess the real news is that we haven't learned our lesson yet. We have more impossible tricks planned for the future... :-)

It is an amazing achievement certainly.

It would be news if RED didn't have more impossible stuff in the works.


And I just realized, I'll think I'll sell my 5dMK2. After seeing these two side by side, I made my choice.

OK,I'm serious here is the link: FS: 5DMK2

And that's what keeps us coming back for more. Dogged belief that somehow, despite all the obstacles, RED is doing something that is totally changing the game. Half the fun is seeing what you guys have in store for us next.
 
You are completely MAD, you know that don't you. :)

I just had a bunch of DP's over here an hour ago, none of them had ever seen or touched or played with an EPIC before.
All of them are still shooting 35mm, and one of them used an ALEXA for the first time last week. These guys are all feature film DP's. no pussys!

I turned it on, handed it over with no instructions. All of them worked out how to use it in about 20 minutes.
They shot some footage out the front of my house and I played it back to them a minute after through RCX...
I put the images onto a 15foot 2k cinema screen ( i wish i had a 4k projector) to the sound of a ooooo mmmmmyyyy gooooooooddddd....

All sold. Expect 5 new orders.
 
And we are all with you on this incerdible ride Jim

Thanks
