Top 5?... let me think.

1. Size is small...
2. 5k is massive.. 73meg @ 16bit per frame!
3. 13 to 18 stops is ridiculous
4. Pushing out hi end TVC's from my laptop in a hotel room is dream.
5. 1/2 the price to it's nearest competitor and shoots 4x times the image size and is 1/4 the physical size!

On set top 5.
1. I shoot from a mono pod.
2. Camera is small so I can hand hold alot more. (not shoulder mounted)
3. It's ridiculously fast to use.
4. It's light to travel with.
5. I don't need any camera crew when I want to personal or pickup shots.

Post production top 5.
1. I can shoot this and transcode quicker than using my 5d (which I have retired forever)
2. I can grade real time on set as quick as I can get the SSD into a Reader.
3. REDLOGFILM is fucking awessome! ... and I can blowup any of my shots by 400%!
4. Nothing keys or tracks better than RED EPIC images. nothing!!!!!
5. I can do everything in my laptop if a post house decides to root me.

Personal top 5.
1. My camera sits on my desk next to me with my favourite lens, a 50mm.1.3 super speed. I just pick it up and shoot in 8 seconds 5k @ 120 fps.
2. I can be far more creative with my shots because I can now shoot 4x quicker due to the cameras size and speed of use... coverage is king.
3. Showing clients 5k on my cinema screen in my office, I love watching there mouths drop and hearing the same thing everytime... fuck thats clear!
4. I will now shoot my movie with 4 small cameras working from backpacks. My small movie will now look like a big movie shooting across 4 countries at no extra cost.
5. I make shit loads more money using this camera.

lucky last... I can now pull a still frame from my moving footage that can go onto a billboard! or a doulbe page spread in a top end magazine!


Jim should shout me dinner! actually... vice versa!

RED Rocket sometimes.. transcode through my laptop while I sleep after the shoot other times. I hardly shoot much anyway. I still pretend I'm shooting film.. I never over roll.
 
If they could only replicate that whizzing sound of 120fps on a 435! I swear that noise was always such a rush!
