EPIC-X at IBC...

[Jannard]

Jarred and I will be at IBC to show the latest EPIC-X prototype. While the proto we show is not a fully functioning unit (still need ASIC to come off the presses and work), we will be showing other stuff that does work. I think that anyone that finds us in Amsterdam will be blown away with "the stuff in the case" we have with us. The proto is the final one. It is representative of what we will be shipping. We are very proud of where we are and what the future looks like. There is not anything ever produced that will do what this camera will do, let alone in the package we will show.

The modularity of our program is just one of the things that we think will change the industry. You won't have to buy a new camera every time we improve one aspect of the system.

RED was started to revolutionize how this industry works. EPIC-X is the penultimate example of what we started out to accomplish.

Jim-
This stuff sounds great. For the many of us who can't be in Amsterdam next week (bummer on a few counts...) will you or Jarred be able to post an overview of what you've got in the case, say after the first day of walking the floor or something like that?
Let me know, cause that'd be great. Thanks as always.
Peace,

-Harry

I really hope you guys show some pictures for those of us who can't make it to IBC. I for one can't wait to see this final prototype.

Yeah, and it really didn't take that long, considering. This is only the second generation of the RED cameras. I see it as we are witnessing the beginning of a legacy.

I find it hard to believe that we will ever make anything that has as much historical impact and is as meaningful as EPIC-X... well, maybe REDray.

I LOVE hearing that, because my plan has been to go to EpicX because it does everything I want it to do (and that's from 9 month old specs), but I feel I've become the minority in a growing crowd of cries that EpicX is just a flyover until the FF Monstro becomes the defacto standard.

 

[Jannard]

EPIC-X will be the most important model in our lineup. The RED ONE is historical because it was our 1st camera and truly changed the industry. But EPIC-X will go down as the one people remember 50 years from now. IMHO.

Don't worry.. im sure there will be plenty of cameras at the show

 

[Jeff Butcher]

I just can't find the words to say how excited I am. I was a film guy until the Red One was released. I have shot almost exclusively on the Red One. I have a feeling a the Epic-X will be a major part of my life/career for the next while.

 

[IAN SUN]

Jim you sure know how to stoke the fires : )

 

[Gunleik Groven]

Good luck to you guys.
I think last years IBC was much of a temporal experience. Everyone and their mother were showing off what might come.
This year, with the Rocket, the new color science that just changed RED practice on on set and in post so many levels (even though the basic ground rules stay the same..) and Epic-X, we'll pretty much see what's gonna happen the next couple of years.

I wish I worked for RED...

Congratulations again!

Jim and Jarred - I will be hunting you down. See you there

 

[Alexander Nikishin]

Amsterdam, 7' tall Jarred with flip flops, Jim with a cigar, secrets in the suitcase, sounds like some James Bond adventures, hopefully I can go =)

 

[PatC]

I need a ticket to Amsterdam.

 

[Piers McGrail]

Hey Jim,

What days will you be at IBC?

Thanks,

Piers

 

[Pawel Achtel]

Look forward to the Epic-X.

 

[Jonathan Scarlino]

IBC is going to be great this year, that's for sure ;-)

 

[PaulClements]

Jim, have you tested the shutter artifacts of the Mysterium-X sensor much? And if so how are they looking?

Would love to come and met you and Jarred (And the camera) at IBC but sadly I'll be working wednesday through to sunday with that other camera you made!
