  • 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, it's worth the wait and all the hype

Just to make sure there isn't any confusion, MX REDs were used on Pirates and they performed incredibly in the hands of extremely talented people. May 20th 2011 will be a great day to see what RED was capable of this current summer.

For those asking for more details about the people involved in the Epic shoot, it reminds me of the saying

Those who know don't say and those who say don't know.


The parties will reveal what they want when they want to, just know that there is a tidal wave of RED coming

"Those who know don't say and those who say don't know"


Who said that? ( :

I suppose, by this, he was implying that he "knew", but wanted to say so without actually stooping to say so.

It was most likely the guy that said "I never tell the truth"

At least you've told us that you know there is "a tidal wave of RED coming" (not to be confused with "red tide") but we already knew that. (((( :
 
I'm not saying I know anything, I, like everyone else am anxiously waiting for every bit of news RED releases.

There are loads of exciting days and posts coming in the future as Mark, Gibby, Dino and others receive their cameras. I for one am very excited to watch this all unfold.
 
Thanks for sharing Steve- Did you get a chance to WORK with the 5K footage, beyond marveling at the quality I mean?

Spcifically you mention how fast SSD downloads are, but jannard told us its 60% more image, so Im not sure how much more data that is. PLUS, we are facing 5:1 Redcode in the near future. I have not done the math, but it appears 5K at 5:1 on a 64GB SSD is pretty close to what we record now on a 16GB CF.

thoughts?

Good to see you on here too Michael Cioni, im bringing some of my peeps to REDUCATION in Dec, not sure if you guys will be there with Mark P?

Cant wait!

Cheers

Yeah...

Would be nice to get some concrete number to run some math on...

I think maybe for TV work, quite a few will still shoot 4kHD, but maybe at a lower compression-rate.

But then again, I thought I would shoot 2k on the R1, untill I hit record and was sold and never looked back...

LOL

For 5k Wide @ RC 5:1, offloading will be better than double realtime.
 
So, for "uninterrupted" shooting, we (indie indies)are likely looking at 4 or 5 cards for a little comfort.

thanks Deanan, great to hear, but I was more curious about how many minutes that equals in actual record times.

It seems a 64GB SSD recording 5KW at RC100 (5:1) is roughly the same filming time as 4KHD @RC42 is on a 16GB CF.

Is there a rough ratio? Mainly trying to determine media needs - but if its too early for those specs. no worries. thanks for taking the time to chime in
 
when you download epic footage for the first time using a redstation, your jaw will drop to the ground!

our job made faster and easier, and like steve said, that ssd is insane!

the green flag is about to drop! gentlemen start your engines!

4kHD would be closer to 3x realtime offload.

BTW, 4k HD nests nicely inside 5k WS (3840x2160 vs 5120x2160).

Roughly 14-15min of 5K wide @ RC 5:1
 
Julio Quintana said:
Wow. 15 minutes of 5K at 5:1 is 64GB? I think I will be sticking to RC42 for a lot of applications.

For features. producers want to offload OFTEN and we recommend it, so this is great we get roughly 4-5 extra minutes than a 16GB card - but yes, 4KHD at lower Redcode is the solution for MORE time per SSD.

What is so great is all the CHOICES we have !

Hi Steve,

Great post. It's crazy looking back - how far the program has come... so many great milestones.

Looking forward to seeing everyone tonight.

And Happy Birthday, Mark! :beer:
