Imran, you are right if the EPIC footage was limited to the specs of the Scarlet 4k at 24fps but if a project used EPIC they probably used 5k 24 fps not 4k and then exclude any frame rates that the Scarlet can't do. It's just not the same. RED was the one who hyped this 'competition' so forgive me if I expected to see a Scarlet film that played to it's strengths not the EPICS. I think it's a cop out to say just look at EPIC films because the EPIC can do so much more and may also be a little misleading.
They are just not the same. In order to shoot slow motion you crop the sensor, that would look different etc etc.
Thats why I said, take a look at RED One footage then, either 4.5K or 4K (originally 4K) at up to 30fps. Which is theoretically the same as the Scarlet. The sensor also doesn't output as high as the Scarlet, 12bit on R1 versus 16bit on Scarlet...
Same sensor anyway just the mechanics inside allow for more to be pushed out...
Which means Che could easily have been shot on the Scarlet or The Girlfriend Experience...
Different names, same camera. Same Sensor. I realize you want a 'Scarlet' film but being the same sensor as the R1 (if you want to play to the 24fps thing) means that it has done stuff before. Same sensor, different body, higher DR (once HDRX gets placed in).
