  • 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 has changed...

While I am a big Leica collector (Oscar Barnack's original camera, Luxus, 250GG with motor, MPs,etc.), we now internally refer to the primary sensor sizes as:

2/3"
S35
FF35
645
617

Not that you guys are stuck with that. Just sayin'.

jim, small question...

when epic will be released, is it like

1.who pays first get it first (then i will wire the money immediatly)
2. reservation number rules----hope i dont have to wait 6-12 months, or i buy a used red one between serial 100-200 now.
3. make a new reservation and if you have a red you can trade it in.----take my reservation now.
4. dont worry, you will wait no longer then 4 weeks

Don't get carried away... these are the common sizes we see being used going forward, but not necessarily by us.

I sincerely hope it is by serial number... Although I did not get mine immediately when it came up, there was no "fence sitting" on my part. I simply saw an opportunity to pay cash for everything instead of loan and waited a few weeks until one of my clients had paid me in full. Immediately after that huge check cleared, I wired the funds over to my man Randy at RED.

At that point and time in the delivery process, it was very much a moving target and learning curve for Red and it's immediate customers. Since there were many starts and stops by Red early in the game, which was completely understandable btw- we all had signed up for it, maybe Red can do the same for us.

Btw, I really appreciate Red's decision to stay true to the reservations holders on the 18-85mm zoom. As a small business owner living outside of a major Camera rental market, I would have been severely hurt by the decision to send out the zooms according to delivery date.

Thank you for being flexible and like no other company on this planet.:gun:

There is no way in hell that I could afford the incredible images that I am getting today with any other camera system. I would be one of the many unfortunate "screwed" without my Red #557. It changed my world. Again, Thank You Jim!

it would be a red scandal if the naysayers will have the right to touch anything before who has supported jim and jarred.. wait your turn.. in the meantime you have your beloved and helpful expensive 35 mm tools.. or aren't they useful anymore? :sarcasm:
 
One thing that is for sure... RED ONE owners will have the 1st crack at EPIC. Either to trade in or to buy. We do believe in supporting those that believed in us. The production should go much smoother on Epic so the wait time will not be as long.

As for details of exactly how we will administrate this... we are working on that, but building the camera comes 1st.

Jim
 
yet.. do not forget the company slogan.. sort of mission statement:

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone with a bad attitude.

Hi,

Still shooting lots of 35mm, usually on very expensive rented equipment whilst my 3 packages collect dust:biggrin: I like to use the best & most suitable equipment for any particular shoot.

Stephen
 
no doubts.. jokes apart.. your portfolio speaks by itself.

you could just be less tech-arrogants there at your inner circle.. the history of filmmaking is plenty of men more than high tech.
 
hi when will you guys reveal the epic and scarlet news?
 
pit, someone mentioned November when i asked that same question recently. i have no idea if that is the case, though.
 
Jim mentioned "early November" over on ScarletUser as the target to release all Scarlet specs and details -
but I'm not certain if the Epic details will be released at the same time.
 
ok thanks !! i have one red and another one comming in november and i wanna know if the market ask offten for HS(it doesn't have to be a 1000 fps phantom 300 fps 2k will do normaly we use 435 extreame our sr3 adv hs ) if i trade my first red for the epic or if i upgrade it (i don't know if the upgrade will give me more fps ).

the epic will be 100 fps 5k
+/- 150 4k
+/- 300 3k
and +/- 600 2k
m i right ?

this are the "old" spec and i supose this are with high compression rate so i dont mind they reduce fps if they lower the compression rate something better than redcode 36 (like redcode 40 ):tongue:
 
Sorry, it's difficult for me to read English.

A D-cinema camera must be quiet and to have an optical viewfinder (with a reserve, like movie camera Aaton, arri or like leica M).

We have sold 5000 RED ONEs without an optical finder. What should we do?

Welcome to reduser. My response is a bit tongue in cheek, but the welcome is very sincere.
