  • 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 :)

We are on day 2 of the NY portion of an 8 day shoot that has already been to paris and will travel to LA.

big news, today on EPIC we shot 1.880.66 Terabytes of data over 10 hours on one EPIC-M, #00087.

We cycled through 2 x 256 and 4 x 128 cards - 15 card changes in all. at 5:1 compression, 128g is about 20 minutes of footage.

the camera performed like a charm, not one problem to report, other than with all that data plus data from a red one, a 5d, a 1d, and sony f3, i am still making copies of the data and we wrapped 3 1/2 hours ago...2.8 terabytes in total.

this camera is a work horse!

Any pics to share Dino?
Anything would be fun to see even if its just you in the tent.
The Museum part sounds cool.

this project is for a purposely built 4k theatre in a very high-end museum that focuses on photography, so shooting at 5:1 is important for the closeups as they want the highest possible resolution.

you don't need to shoot at 5:1 for your projects particularly if they will end up on the internet.

That's a heck of a day for one camera! I've had some 3-4TB days here, but it's all spread out. That's some serious run time.

Nice!

i think it must be a record and you would know, as you would be the only one that would have had a bigger day thus far with one body...

Awesome! Bet that was fun. What drives were you using out of curiosity?

As far as shoot days... I've not seen more through one body! I've done testing days where I've rolled and ingested dozens upon dozens of mags but that's no shoot day! Awesome.

It's time to step past FW and SATA drives, eh? :)
