  • 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 :)

Simon Rudholm - Stockholm

Thanks a lot. Been having a lot of fun with this baby lately. We went far up north of Svalbard Norway to the arctic ocean to start filming a documentary of "André Expedition". Got close to the north pole but the ice got to thick to cut through. The epic worked amazing even if it got quite cold sometimes. I got back to stockholm with almost 20tb of red footage. ill post some more images in a while

I used quite a small kit I think.
2pc of Epic-M (one for backup, but I never had to use it) #1040 and #5XX
4pc V-lock batteries
10pc of 128gb ssd Redmags
1pc 17-50 Red Pro
1pc 300mm Red pro with a arri teleconverter (x2)
1pc Easyrigg
1pc Sachtler Cine 30 head with carbone sticks.
1pc O'connor follow focus (never used it, and I can say that I'm not a fan)
1pc Arri Lmb-15
And of cause "The clutch" that I can't live without.

I also had my red prime 18-100mm with me. but it got to heavy so I kept them on the boat. since this was almost a one man shoot with some help from the sound technician.

Noah Newtown: that is a cine 30 head. just got it back from service because the salty rain really killed it in the arctic ocean. Amazing head, been using it a lot the last 3 years and it fits the epic really well. specially when you use the heavier primes and zooms.

Sam Taylor: M/S Origo with its amazing crew and staff. I can really recommend Vera Expeditions for everyone that got plans for a shot over there. and they are used to film crews.

Take care. Simon

Thanks for the great report Simon, looks like you had a very fun shoot. From the specs the Epic is not rated for work under 0 degrees celcius, I am quite curious how cold it was when you tried it out. I hope to work with the Epic at -20 celcius which is often required in the winter time. Any input?
 
Nice,
We just got our M package as well so next time you need a spear one you know who to call for a good price. :)
 
By looks of your photos it is clear there is no global warming ;)
