  • 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 :)

Epic Closeups...

Front and top vents means the EPIC will eliminate all concerns about cooling when used with a Cinesaddle. That's a worthwhile feature point for me!

I wonder though, how many users will be happy to use the camera with so many openings in dusty/salty/damp conditions?
Hope it's rugged enough....
 
the openings are connected to a completely sealed system.. its a closed tube that uses forced air to cool heatsinks. The only thing exposed is the fans that blow the air.. and those are user cleanable and changeable.

That's a relief to hear.

My work is almost exclusively in pretty rough conditions so the look of those vents made me worried a little.

Thanks for clarifying!

That's great news. I remember there being early discussion that the RED ONE would be designed in this manner... but the final shipping camera was a completely open system. This sounds pretty great.

I also want to put in my vote for a grey color instead of black. If it's an option, that's fantastic. But if I had to choose one color... grey all the way! The camera can always be blacked out if it's causing trouble... but it can never be greyed out to cool it down in the sun.

Very exciting stuff, guys.

Always wanted the grey as well... :)

Ok, ok, ok...I hear you. I concede to have been outvoted on lilac with fluoro green accs. You guys can have it your way this time...Can we at least settle on a bad-ass mil camo grey, then?
 
I'd like a medium gray...
 
Is there any optical viewfinder talks by Jim?

Just wanted to jump in here... that is a bit of paraphrasing of what Jim said. : )

A bit more information on what he said:

1) He really doesn't like OVFs. Thinks they are antiques.
2) That being said, RED has a really cool and unique concept for how to implement an OVF into the Epic system.
3) It will be expensive - about US$20K.
3) But, he is afraid that what will happen is that they will have spent a ton of money on developing the OVF, and the 20 people that are out there complaining the loudest about OVFs will buy them and that will be it, and RED will have wasted a ton of time, energy, and effort for something that sells 20 units.

Best,

Lucas

Sounds about right to me. Although I think the more accurate term would be: "Extinct", not "antique". I respect Jim's commitment to his customers, though. It takes a stand-up guy to admit feeling that way, yet still move forward with providing it to his customers, however few of them may actually buy it.
 
OVF = JIMS HEART.

There are alot of assholes out there that are wise enough to not try and please everybody.

Jim is not one of them.

That guy has heart.
He has delivered everything wished, dreamt, and whined over.
And with the ovf, the last unimportant wish, he still grants it.
What a Legend.

The greatest thing behind all of these (Epic)-Photos (double entendre)
Is the man slightly out of focus in the backdrop
It was the first thing that caught my eye.
you can catch him in all his glory
a real dreamer
a mans man
a working man
a great man
see the distance in his eyes
you can see he hopes people can relate
to his big dreams and realized visions
and if they dont,
he can afford to be considered a mad-man
he's earned the title

You've done it Jim,
from one of the little guys in your army
I salute you
a proud red one soldier
I wont let you down
My work begins with your Epic
my red one worked for its upgrade on others set's.

Thank you

Lmfao

The pictures, the camera, the new features, and crazy Jim in the background
are so awesome

you'd have to be a stiff to not get a kick out of it.

Michael please...

Posts like that are what make it so hard to work on on professionals sets with this camera - because of the fanboy stigma attached to it.

I appreciate you like the work Red's doing but it's not a religion.

The camera stands on it's own without all that.

Sorry you have a hard time on set

People usually love me lol

lighten up jeff

dont make me hurt you (lol)
Nice guys come in big packages :reddevil:

say what you'd say in person
that's the forum law of the land
grandma's law was if you cant say anything nice....

hate on hater
just dont live in fear
Red-haters are a dying breed
Scarlet cures the disease

peace

over and out
 
OK Michael what I'd say in person:

"Hello Michael, I'm not a red hater, I own multiple reds and work daily on commercials/TV projects in the UK. I get on very well on set with everyone I work with. The camera is well accepted but the biggest problem I face is the reaction of the wider industry to people like you and the over zealous nonsense that they spout on reduser."

I'm not trying to insult you - it's a fact that big DPs have an aversion to that type of idolisation.
