  • 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 :)

Matte Box Woes Revisited

for example.. RED!!!!
17.5 for a 4k camera that kicks any $100,000 + ..
is the sony f23 better than red one because it cost $250,000 verse 17.5k REDONE?

Zakaree that's exactly my point. You and I are actually in agreement. What I meant was that if at $1000 CVB's mattebox didn't turn out to be substantially better than than RR's, then why would I prefer it over a $500 one that has all the features I need? In fact, you never know, but sometimes the cheaper one could turn out to be even better than the more expensive one, like in the case of the Sony f23 vs. RED ONe.
 
Hey Curt and Brian,

Any chance you can through together a kick-ass follow focus as well? Willytech style? LWFF-II? The last chroiszel we rented was completely cack and we shot three episodes of a series before the POS rental house (cheep-ass 1 day rental-week) got us another one. 1st AC was pulling focus off the barrel of a canon ENG lens.

Oh God why do Producers have to be so cheap?

Hi Curt and Brian,

Sorry if this has been answered already, but will either of you be able to supply prototypes of your new gear to the LART team for evaluation? I'm guessing Curt won't be able to since he's still in the R&D stages by the sounds of it, perhaps Brian might be able to?

Cheers

Paul

Brian,

Any kind of rough estimate on the matte box's availability????

End of September/middle of October would be nice.

Thanks,

Jim
 
Fliter Stages Are Metal

Fliter Stages Are Metal

Here's a recent quote from Brian himself:
All the filter stages are now completely metal, no plastic at all. Stronger and sturdier for those beautiful - but expensive - filters
 
Hi Manny

Product development just takes a long time sometimes (yeah, we don't like it either). The microMatteBox has 4-5x more components than any other product we've developed.

But the good news is it is almost here - we are just waiting for production to finish. We will post the final pricing, product options, and ship date to our reserve list first, so look for it in your email box shortly.

Shipping of course will be as we discussed before - first to the top 50 reservation holders, then we will make it available to the balance of the reservation list, and then open it up to the general public.

Hi Viewfinder

the microMatteBox supports lenses up to 140mm in diameter. I think that cook is 120mm so we're good there

Is it just me or do you guys also wish that Redrock would leave "micro mattebox" off the front ?

I really don't mind the Redrock logo so much but I would prefer to not actually have any words printed anywhere that the talent may be gazing.

I agree. It sounds trivial but the text cheapens the product IMO.
