Interesting take on things. I like how you came at this from the perspective of a very versatile, yet small crew. Those shoots tend to be the ones I have the most fun on. Epic is the ultimate camera for those situations, there's no doubt about it. Exceptional image quality in the smallest form factor = Independent filmmaker's dream camera. Alexa and Red One tend to be more suited for crewed jobs, where you really have most of the camera department positions filled. Having said that, I have been known to wield the Red One around one-man-crew style, in fact just did this over the weekend. It requires clever packing (I can get my kit down to a RED Petrol bag and 1 accessory bag), lightweight lenses (Nikons in my case), and a lightweight handheld setup for those times when handheld is necessary. Epic makes one man band digital cinema truly possible, although having a crew, even one or two additional people is usually going to get better results.
