First to make a feature with Scarlet

[Eric Rodemann]

If you build it, someone will make a feature film with it. It's been done with the 5d Mark II, the 7d, and even the T2i.

How long do you think it will take for someone to make a feature with the Scarlet after release?

 

[Solomon Nero]

lol...cant be long...its RED...you cant KEEP those things out of features...

 

[Sierra Haworth]

How ever long it takes the first person to get theirs.

 

[Omar N]

I already have a feature planned with mine

 

[SeanBrown]

As do I

 

[Graeme Hay]

A good feature or 72 minutes of something which one could call a feature?

The real question is how long until a wide release feature is in theatres shot solely with the scarlet...

My Answer: Not Long

 

[Erich Ocean]

Prediction: Dec 2012 for the first film shot 100% (or nearly so) on Scarlet to get a theatrical release.

Reasoning: The film will be shot this spring, posted over the summer and hit the festival circuit in the fall. It'll win something and secure a distribution deal that specifies a theatrical release that year, in order to qualify for Academy awards buzz (for a hot actor or writer, or *maybe* a director).

 

[Josef Gatti]

I have 2 features planned with Scarlet already. Definitely won't be first to the finish line, that's for sure. Agree with Erich - Earliest would be end of 2012.

Joseph Hutson is wrapping his first feature "The Valley of the Dogs" shot entirely on Scarlet prototypes. It's kinda Mad Max meets To Live and Die in LA meets Spy Kids. Sorry guys - the kid is aggressive

who cares who is first?
its better to shoot something that doesn't suck, than it is to rush to be first...

well said, sir

 

[Jeff Lower]

Lets see, how long will it take to arrive, then shoot, and edit. Yeah, should be about that long.

...has he done a feature yet?

Much better to take your time and do it right..or at least best you can.

A bunch of people were fighting/trying to be
the first F900 feature in 2000 or so. Don't think any of them
are out there still shooting any stuff now.

For how long did he actually have that camera?

My Answer: Not Long

Exactly! Sure everybody have plans of doing a feature, I do too, and hopefully we will all succeed - but realisticly not many of them will get a wide release. And in the end this is what counts, because the better the film, the more realistic is it to be released through cinema. Fingers crossed for all of us.

 

[Brian Self]

Yeah I have a four part film series planned for my scarlet as well. Also Would love to film a remake of seven samurai with it if I could ever get the rights.

My Answer: Not Long

I was thinking of something 72 minutes or more you could call a feature, something making the rounds of the film festivals.

Wide release? That's hard to say. No one knows when a film will be good, certainly not the writer and director. You hope they will be good, but you don't know. At least a distributor will have to think it's good before there's a wide release. That could take a while.

Wow. That's sooner than I thought for sure.

If it's good AND you're first you get bonus publicity.

Or if it's really, really, really horrible and you're first, you get bonus publicity.

If you're first and it's just mediocre, probably won't do anything for you to be first.
