  • 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 :)

October 30th Announcement Feedback

Status
Not open for further replies.
Sure this will be all answered on Nov 30th but I can't help myself...

Will the fixed lens be threaded for screw on filters or will I need to buy a mattebox. Matteboxes are nice but attract to much attention to shooting when I use, lets call it, creative permiting.

Looking forward to the touch screen focusing, sounds really useful for those of us with a skeleton crew.

Can't wait till the 30th, and the date scarlet is open for deposits, and the date it ships, and the date I get it, and.... you get the point. Just happy that at least one camera company thinks broke indy filmmakers deserve more then h.264, jello, and aliasing.

Jim: love the announcement details, stages, specs, and prices...wicked cool stuff for sure :)

I would guess (and hope) the fixed lens Scarlet and the RED Electronic Lenses will be threaded for screw-on filters. To keep weight and bulk down, and for low-profile guerilla shooting, a lot of super-mobile shooters don't use matte boxes - in fact I don't even own a matte box, even though I own multiple RED One cameras. I simply don't need a MB for my styles of work...
 
well, if I ever get a RED Tattoo I am not going to rent it out.
But I will say bye bye to my Canon 1Ds mk2, my 1D mk3 and my Hassie H3D.
I will finally travel "light"
Here's to hoping. :)

EDIT: I just saw this

Rofl look at this clown. this was on egadget concerning the recent announcement. I DID NOT MAKE THIS STATEMENT

I guarantee that the F23 and F35s perform better than the Epic. There's a reason the CineAltas cost that much. The CCDs in the F35 are stripped from a much higher resolution sensor - so it records at 1080p - but it is very close to film's dynamic range.

Once again, resolution isn't everything - let's not forget. You can buy a 12 megapixel camera for $400 and it won't compare to a $5,000 Nikon D3.

While 3k for 3k would have been nice I don't mind the 8-10k that a configured Scarlet will cost. I just figure it may be close to a year out. In that time Sony and Canon will probably release lower-end, less featured cameras that scoop up much of that 3k for 3k market. Scarlet will appeal to the higher end pros. Meantime we'll have to wait another rmonth just to see what Scarlet really is. Pressing questions like, will the fixed lens Scarlet have a servo zoom that a run and gun camera needs? remain unanswered.

But speaking of gunning what exactly is the Red Gunner? Looks like a combination mic, handgrip (if so, is that such a good idea?) with a lot of buttons.

Yes, David, you're right. As a pro (I'm assuming), the additional cost of Scarlet isn't that big of a deal for you. That just means a few extra jobs to pay it off. Meanwhile for me, $3K was a stretch, $4K - $8K is impossible. I totally get where the pros are coming from on this, and I don't disagree. As I said in my original post, it's just no longer a camera built for me. Jim's original concept for Scarlet was much more open to the masses (hence the dreaded 'soccer mom' comment.) Alas, it's no longer built for that market. But maybe someday Scarlet Jr. will come along and surprise the rest of us who don't have deep pockets (or a way to work off the expenses).

Yes... 77mm.

This is big news for me, as I am considering 4x4" matte box shopping... this means a Genus matte box will work for what I have now, and the fixed 2/3" Scarlet in the future.

The only question is what the RED matte box will be. Any chance it will take 4x4" filters? I'm assuming it would take filters larger than that, but hoping it would have the option of different, smaller size, filter trays.

I know it wasn't mentioned by Jim, but that would make the deal closer to Stage II.

The delivery date asside

Jarred, you just posted the TATTOO LCD but Jim's post said TATTOO comes with BOMB EVF... can you clarify this?

Thanks!
 
Just FYI, I did some housecleaning and removed some of the noise from this thread (including my own - so nothing personal here, just making this thread easier to read for new readers). Some complaints about the Scarlet were moved to http://reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?p=501711

Off to bed. 3:30 a.m. here.

The Mattebox we revealed TODAY will take 4x5.65 filters and you can use adapters to place 4x4 filters in there.

heh heh heh....

For the Tattoo customers.. there will be additional accessories available in the TATTOO finish.
 
Hmmm. This thread keeps getting shorter...do the purged posts go somewhere else? It seems two of my posts were guilty of something...maybe (wrongly) speculating on the purpose of the Red Gunner? But then why post the picture?
 
Jarred would the fact that I'm based in Greece make it impossible to provide you with immediate feedback and so void Stage 1 for customers like myself?
Just asking so I won't let my hopes get high.

I'm guessing Stage 1 won't get past the first 100 customers...maybe up to 300, but beyond that, not likely....those of us in the 4-digit numbers probably won't make the cut...I would be surprised (and elated) if we did...
 
I might be dreaming but FLUT hopefully means Film Look Up Table.

Choose a film response curve: Kodak 5218, Fuji etc and it takes the linear data off the curve and applies a 3D LUT to emulate any film stock you choose.

Or at least that's what I pray it is. Because I've been asking for that since the REDOne. :D
 
100-200 tattoos would be my guess too...of course factor in, not every red owner will be going the tattoo route... so theoretically depending on how many pass on it..later serial numbers may get a shot. Anything in the 1,000+ I highly doubt. Just speculating.
