Love Affair With My Red One Continues

[Peter Matthes]

I am just as excited as the next person about the incoming Epic-X camera, but I don't want people to forget how great a camera the R1 M-X still is.

Here are a couple battle pictures of our last Red shoot.

Not your everyday shoot.

Special thanks to Justin of OffHollywood for making a last minute repair and keeping us in the game.

To work with this must be a dream....

 

[Martin Weiss]

Exactly, Peter.

If it hadn't been for RED, most of us would be shooting HDcam and dreaming about an Alexa.

So true...

With the SSD it really feels like an updated camera -again.

It's a completely mature system. I too am anxious for my Epic but there is nothing wrong with 4.5K recording to RC42.

I agree, Peter. The RED MX is an awesome camera, period. Owning the RED MX has opened up a whole new world for me, and a whole new way of shooting. Since the cost of recording footage is essentially zero, I am picking up my own title sequences, which are weather and light dependent, and second unit stuff while we are in pre-pro on our feature which begins principal photography in October. Now I would not even consider that if I had to rent a Panavision and expose film as was necessary before RED!
