RED EPIC SIMULATOR

[Robert Hart]

I seem to recall that there was talk about a RED EPIC/SCARLETT simulator project at some time in the past. Did anything come of this?

I have a colleague who is offshore who has to learn the RED ecosystem very promptly. He had been hands-on with the ARRI Alexa but the closest he has been to hands-on with the RED was a RED battery which was on the back of the ALEXA at the time. I have linked him to the available clips at the RED website. He is most colmpfortable and familiar with the SI2K system and the touch interface it uses.

I am of no use as a mentor because I still use the SI2K, mainly for events these days, which the long continuous running times the new generation of SSDs enables. The closest I have been to the RED system has been to touch a RED SCARLETT, just to prove I had been near one and promised not to wash my hands for a week out of admiration, respect and just pain good old fashioned green-eyed monster envy.

Any clues as to a recommended tutorial or simulator will be appreciated.

Not a real simulator but tou should look at an app called Donna for mobile devices that will let you explore the RED camera UI and menus... but it is screenshot based so no values can be changed. A very useful app made by Kris Prygrocki

Yeah Donna app rocks.
