  • 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 :)

NAB 2015

I'll be there for the first time ever this year. It will be nice to put some real faces to people rather than their avatars!

Are there any fellow Australians heading over this year?

I'm looking forward to meeting some of the people who have given me so much advice and support since I went Red.
 
My badge has REDUSER on it so Ill be easy to spot :)
 
How about a group buy for Reduser t-shirts? I'd be in for one.
 
Any rumors of a second-gen Ronin? I'm hungry for a Ronin but I want something a little more refined...

Are the Canon rumors true?

Rumors have started popping up about excellent 4k (C500 was always sharper than the other 4k sensors), improved color and slow motion, XAVC but no prores, a groundbreaking high dynamic range mode, and superior autofocus.

Of course, those who know about both the Weapon and C300 Mk II seem totally uninterested in the latter... which is very intriguing all around.

If it costs under 2K maybe Ill bite but honestly Im happy and committed to my Scarlet ;)

I want to add more to my baby than replace :)
 
I don't think it's going to be a competitor with the Scarlet Dragon, though obviously both companies want the high IQ and improved color we've been seeing. I have no idea if the rumors are true. The C300 Mk I was hugely successfully because it targeted a big market that the Epic and Alexa were too high end for, but for which dSLRs were too low end. The Scarlet is a toned down Epic, but the workflow isn't, so those low end clients didn't want to work with raw (again, this is tv, where time is money, hence all the Alexa and C300 use on tv). Likewise, the C500 bombed because who wants a scaled-up C300 with a proprietary workflow instead of a Dragon or Alexa?

I don't expect that to change, although it looks like Red is planning to introduce prores to appeal to tv, and that could be HUGE and Canon might be looking to compete with the Alexa directly with the C500 Mk II. So the products might have more overlap, but no way will the C300 Mk II shoot raw. If you're happy with what you have why change paths. That said, I don't have the storage or horsepower to handle the kind of stuff I shoot while shooting raw, so... Canon appeals to me for that reason, at least.

I'm really curious where these products are going.
 
One more week till NAB.

Anyone hear of anything else that might be worth looking at?

I can run fast and Ive done that rush to RED booth thing a few times ;)

Just hope my partners little legs can keep up :)
 
Canon are coming out with two new 4k panels - a 30inch and a 24 inch - great colour range - sdi/hdmi inputs - can daebayer canon's codec but both are ridiculously expensive to own as owner operator I think. If I'm not msitaken the 24" is around 18k which is way too much for me - I'll either get an LG or FSI or both.
 
So who's going to the Media Motion Ball today? My buddy couldn't make it in time so I'm going solo and would love to hang out with some cool people!

Text me if you're going, I'm also at nab today if you wanna meet up: 347 891 1231
