  • 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 :)

Joseph Hutson - "CHECKMATE" - Los Angeles

Good on ya Joseph. You deserve it all. I saw how much you helped the kids at Red Camp and how much they looked up to you.

Enjoy.

Last night I shot for 5 hours (until both bricks died), around Hollywood Boulevard with fellow Reduser, Mike Hedge. We were shooting some stuff on a 70-300mm and IS on. The stuff seriously looks like it was a tripod mounted shot! We got tons of great stuff. Corvette, Helicopter, El Capitan/Chinese/Kodak Theater exterior shots, tons of people, police car, fire engine, Ambulances, etc. :) I can't wait to cut it and share with the community.

Thanks to Mike, I'll be shooting on a whole arsenal of different Canon lenses this week. He's definitely a great guy to work with...and I'd say that whether I was using his lenses or not. :)

Needless to say, I'll be most busy this week preparing stuff to share with you all.
 
I remember meeting you at Red Day 2010, full of energy, passion, and ambition. You've made leaps and bounds in your journey, and a well deserved Epic-M. If you find yourself in the DC area again, you'll always have a place to stay.
Looking forward to seeing great things coming from you and your new M. A big congrats Joseph!

Fantastic news!... Hope that will be the case with the Nikon mount as well.
 
Is there a person you didn't meet at Red Day 2010? I too remember meeting you. Congrats on the M. There's no doubt she's in good hands. I look forward to seeing what you make with it.
 
Congrats, Joseph. Your story reminds me a lot about myself when I was working hard to get my R1 4 years ago. It's amazing how people want to help someone who has so much passion. They really believe in you, so congratulations and kick ass on shooting EPIC footage!

This is an extremely positive moment for Joseph, it is also a very positive moment for all of us that have met him and have watched him be tremendously dedicated to learning about this camera system, meeting the people that make the company work and the people that work with the camera in the wild. making assumptions about how much money he has based on his age or about what kind of glass he will ultimately use in a vein that somewhat diminishes his accomplishment or panders to his perceived lack of experience because of his age is uncalled for. let this bright young man enjoy his moment as a shining light for us all to rally around, he will hopefully be a better version of us in the future, don't you wish you had that camera when you were his age...i certainly do.

great job joseph, go out and make us all proud!

Hehe... You wouldn't believe the shit I was buying when I was 20. Would've bought an EPIC-M back then too, if it existed. ;)

Not sure what age has to do with the ability to do anything. I fought the age stigma, stereotyping and discrimination for years. I started my first real business when I was 14.

It's great to see guys like Joseph and Tony, who are only 19 or 20 years old, out there making it happen for themselves.

Aye, still fighting the stigma myself. I would note that I don't believe he is in college. Compared to a degree getting out there and shooting is a bargain--and probably far more educational. So instead of "how can a 20 year old afford that" I would ask "What 20 year old hasn't spent more than that on a piece of paper?"

You gotta spend money to make money. Some people spend a lifetime learning that lesson. I'm happy to see Joseph so proactive and self assured.

I can see how youd like to believe that.
However I would like to take that bet youve offered. Just tell me what your willing to bet.

He has access to Master Primes, and just about any other lenses he desires including mine.
He may not own MPs but who da heck does???
oh ya our buddy KETCH does.


Good Job Joseph, see ya soon.

Joseph has had his camera for only a week and has already hustled a handful of jobs with it... enough so to pay off a healthy little chunk of his investment already.

The guy is ambitious, hard working and 100x more of a gentleman than I will ever be. It is guys like Joseph that everyone needs to keep an eye on....

Congrats Joseph!! Glad you took the leap.

I know Joseph and how or why he can "afford" an Epic-M is no ones business. Zero.

It is what he does with the tools he has that is all he can be judged by and I know he's gonna do great things. I wish I had the opportunities he's worked so hard for at his age.

Go Dog Go!

The overall Support here on REDuser is unparalleled. Thanks EVERYONE. Y'all probably don't know how much you all mean to me at a personal level...
 
Well Joseph, I wanna start by saying how jealous I am right now. But you know what ? It´s a good jealous, the kind that push you forward, inspirational. The same kind of jealous I felt about mr. Terrence Malick after watching The New World, or kubrick after Clockwork Orange. I want to congratulate you and send you my best wishes on a great career and a great life. It´s people like you that became the greatest artists I know today.
Go for it. You deserve it. Congratulations and I know someday I´m gonna bring you to Brazil to shoot a feature with me. Betting on people who deserve it it´s one of the best things someone can do. I know for myself.
 
Congrats Joseph! It was fun hanging out with you at REDcamp & looking forward to seeing your work!
 
well Joseph, here you go! even with the official Jarred Post, wondered, when that would happen !

awesome shot, Jarred!

now go and shoot, young padawan! :) and let us know what you're doing with your M!

congrats and all the best

Congrats Joseph! Nice clip. Funny expression on the guy, do you know him?

Btw, off topic, I'm curious if there will now be an EpicX Owners section or if new owners will just merged in here?

Yeah, he looked like he knew the camera: "Hey, an Epic!"

The 'Losses' action short film from Film Riot also has lots of gate flares. Guess they used it for creative reasons.
 
Ha I just manage to screw up to posts by hitting the post reply button instead of quick reply. Got to love small smartphone screens!
This time i keep it short.
I wish you the best of luck!
Enjoy your Epic M!
