  • 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 :)

EPIC is being built by an American company that was initially called a scam.

EPICs are built in the USA (California actually).

EPICs have more resolution than any digital motion capture camera... at 120fps.

EPICs have more dynamic range than you need natively... and HDRx if you need more. More than any other camera including film.

EPIC is the size of a Hasselblad... which shoots one frame a second BTW.

EPIC is upgradeable. Actually... it is also the upgrade.

EPICs are shooting most every major budget feature film for every studio.

EPIC is shipping. It is not a figment of the imagination. Almost 1000 EPICs are in the wild.

EPIC is not finished. And EPIC customers don't bleed when things get better. Most every upgrade is free. As is REDCINE-X.

EPIC footage looks like 65mm film on the big screen (without grain).

EPIC costs less to own than any other professional motion capture camera.

EPIC is the least expensive professional motion camera to shoot. Thanks to REDCODE and SSDs.

EPIC is the least expensive and easiest professional motion camera to post.

EPIC is the smallest and lightest professional motion camera. By a lot.

You can extract "Getty worthy" still images from an EPIC motion stream.

EPIC images are IMAX capable.

I like EPIC. I love the EPIC development team.

I can no other answer make, but, thanks, and thanks to RED Team
 
I might add that some of the benefits Jim lists make Epic particularly nice for owner operators. Small, light, cheap to shoot and sensitive enough to shoot in virtually any ambient lighting condition makes the Epic a terrific personal camera between gigs.

Thanks to entire Red Team for the best camera it has ever been my pleasure to operate. (note I started shooting video on 1/2" reel to reel in 1974 so I have used over 25 professional cameras in the last 37 years).

Cheers - #19
 
We know what the future looks like and how to get there... without killing our customers.

Jim
 
Must feel good to be shipping and to be watching this unfold.
Very cool.

The coolest thing is having this one "almost" done and knowing what we have ready for the future. The team is unbelievable. The library we have built the last 3 years will serve us and our customers well.

Our sensor program is A++. Just wait until you see what we have coming... it is mind blowing. And every RED customer benefits.

When you buy RED, you become part of the family. I think this is what really separates us from everyone else.

Jim
 
Yeah,

I've tried to meet REDUSERs everywhere I have travelled and there is a family feel to owning RED. Many of us have a "way" of thinking. It's like everyone has each other's backs. I like that.

Click to expand...

Care to elaborate? I don't remember this being discussed. Has IMAX certified it as sufficient for A-Camera work in documentaries? Or does IMAX even have a requirement for % of shots on 70mm?
 
Waiting for Epic-X Jim. There are whole lot of customers who are waiting to upgrade once you announce your release date for X.
 
The amount of smart contributors here on Reduser surprises and inspires me every day. Someone posts a question and someone else posts the answer, a chart or graph and on we go. It really is a phenomenon.

Jim
 
Thank You Jim,

This is going to be one Epic home coming for my 2nd Epic.

So excited.

You have one Really, Really, Really happy customer "Family Member" here.

:-))
