  • 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 :)

Also, if you use a setup like the ET Hybrid rail system (mine is 19mm), you need to order an adapter for the bottom of the camera. The Epic has two 3/8" taps, but they are only 25mm apart. ET has the adapters in stock now. Mine arrives today.

Do you have the link for ordering the adapters?

Thanks
 
You have to call Element Technica. They have them.

I feel like with Adobe, we as Red shooters have a supportive company on our side.

You probably haven't tried this yet, since you're having so much fun with the new camera, but are you able to edit R3Ds from EPIC and RED ONE on the same Adobe timeline, given the variation is aspect ratios?
 
thanks Eren - I haven't switched yet to CS5 but I have 2 editing projects - one big and one huge - approaching which will probably force the issue...

I guess the question then is, if that is the case, what is gained by an EPIC - specific plug-in?

Seriously, sometimes when I am working with the Epic, I have to pinch myself. I have to remind myself that with this Epic M and this Leica Summilux, for example, I basically have something that can (IMHO) smoke a 65mm film camera.... and fits into a Canon gadget bag.

Well, I'm guessing that Epic footage isn't instantly importable into Premiere YET, and it's not a resolution issue. Since it's a new flavour of R3D Tom might need a custom plug in for the time being before a release version is integrated into the program with an update.

WAKE UP TOM.
 
Soooooo jealous it's not even funny. Tom, I really wish the time lapse functions were enabled now or very soon -- a fully done project by you with the Epic and Leicas would be one of the ultimate ways to showcase these amazing cinema tools. :)

As shooter working on my own projects this is exactly what I was hoping for. I'm all about "lean & mean" these days.

Being able to get world class motion picture images easily and without the major equipment related logistical overhead is forever going to change the way I shoot in a big (or, uh, EPIC-ally small) way.
 
On kind of a funny side note, I have spent a lot of time out in the field now with Epic, and nearly all the people and other photographers we run across think the Epic is a medium format camera.... Ha! It's stealthy like the early days of the 5D2.

I love this pic. I've stuffed a stripped down R1 into a backpack, in fact I'll be shooting in Italy in May that way, but I really want to do it with the Epic instead. Sooooo jealous too.
 
I love the backpack pic. Having tried this on my boat up in Eagle River on the chain of lakes , I learned that the LCD face is a tough thing to protect in a bag or backpack. Jacek is happily repairing it now for me over at Optitek. I would love to hear what the seasoned veterans do when they want to pack the camera fully rigged in a pack or bag. How do you guys/girls protect the face?
 
Yeah I was out in NYC with Ketch and Joseph on saturday and people would stare at the camera and a few photographers inquired not quite knowing what it was.
They were all familiar with RED but thought it was a still camera :)

The walk around-ability with the EPIC is fantastic, so small but what you get is unparalleled.
