  • 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...

Another advantage is that You actually see what the sensor is capturing. On Till Human Voices Wake Us I ended up fixing 700 frames of the closing sequence's "money shot" because a bug got stuck in a gate and left a 2~3mm thick smudge line through the whole shot. Of course no one knew until they have processed the shot in the lab... The director thought it was impossible to fix...
 
please, you guys are scaring me. i am about to pluck $20,000 on the angenieux rouge (my place in the 18-85 line is way to far down the line) and i am terrified to do so because of the protrusion in the back. i plan to trade for the epic when it becomes available, and want to know that this lens will work. anyone?

Hi,

Clearly they forget the age old tradition of checking the gate.

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

This is not a criterion of quality.
Lomo and Traban have sold very well too.

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

Merci !
I do not doubt your sincerity.

I am just disappointed.
I can not use the Red.
It is not silent continuously.

For my documentary, I want 'the cat on the shoulder', like an Aaton.
Can you do it?

friendly and full of hope,

It is not silent in pause but, correct me if I am wrong RED users, it is more quiet than an Aaton while rolling (except in extreme heat).

Just curious... what does the Aaton NOT do that makes you consider something else? If you don't mind shooting film, it is a nice option.

Thank you for your attention.

Sorry for my poor English.
Google translate helps me as he can!

40 to 60 hours of rushes (stock + lab) in S16 is too expensive for me.
I like D-cinema concept and Red concept for that.

My sound engineer also enjoys the silence during breaks.
And in Martinique, it is 35 degrees c.
 
I love Aatons. I have shot with the XTRP often and it is in fact my favorite 16mm camera.

You say you want the "cat on the shoulder" aspect of Aatons but that is in the design and form factor of the Aatons. That is a dimensional design principal. You are asking Jim / Red to design you a new camera?

You also think that the R1's operating noise in 35°c is too loud?

I don't think either request is reasonable.

Moving on.

Asking for ergonomics that are as good - or maybe ever better than an aaton xtr seems to me very relevant. It's already been discussed here at great length here. I'm optimistic that the ergonomics of the epic will be pretty good.

A consideration that seems less often mentioned:

I have just about got our Reds into a fit for 'our' purpose state. They are littered with 3rd party bits, Red accessories and home made alterations. I'm already expecting to throw away alot of stuff but starting completely again is an awkward ask.

I'm happy to throw away everything if the camera is exactly the ergonomics I prefer. Since this is unlikely (as it is a personal thing) I would like to use as much 'stuff' as possible.

Questions that I don't think have been answered:

Will Red ram work with Epic?
If yes what frame rates?
Will Red drives work?
The new 16gb cards?
Will epic pull less juice?

regards

Michael

PS all considered I'd put up with anything if they deliver 100fps full frame with 3 more stops
 
Hey Jim, any thoughts on when we'll get to see a glimpse of the new Epic? If you guys really are doing a ground-up redesign, I can't wait to see what you come up with. Where the Epic was at the last time we saw it was a pretty good spot... I'm interested to see what's changed since then.
 
Jim,Now that i know for sure you own a foundry for Monstro sensor,i won't be surprise if you are heading to a full RED DIGITAL ECO-SYSTEM.I have nothing against japanase manufacturers except to the fact that they hold and control the US market for so long without a MAD ANSWER like yours.Silicon valley need to back you up for real and follow your lead here.America is waking up from a very long sleep and you are the answer in a way like Barack Obama.The best brains are still from the US and EUROPE period.
 
Jim i can tell you learn a lot from the german school of optics because the new formats you just introduce are exclusive from german large formats for decades(617-612-679)
building a video pipeline from these will remain TEAM RED mandate under your lead.I am glad you are the One who stood up for this new century.Now i feel like to go back behind cameras.I knew graeme will pull off redcode 500 he is a master genius who is only aware of 1/1000 of his capability.thank you Jim for doing your homework before bragging up.
