A box opening of my Canon Mount for the Epic
 
I will start shooting my Indie film, The Toll House. I wrote the the script over a couple of years and it's based on a reacurring dream I have had for the last 20 years or so. It's also loosely based on some life experiences that think the dream manifested from, although it has twisted and deformed those memories into quite a disturbing tale. Scarlet will allow me to shoot this film as it makes the project affordable for me to own equipment and not rent it. I belive in owning your own gear vs renting, that way you make the camera an extension of yourself and impart some of you're identity into it. Yeah sounds hoki but I belive it.

I was soo looking forward to the scarlet announcement...

Sounds good.


Klingon version of An American in Paris. I'm calling it "Hab SoSlI' Quch". Which actually means "Your mother has a smooth forehead".

Hi John,

Doesn't sound kooky at all to me. Sounds like art. And I look forward to hearing more as you progress and one day watching your film.

Best Wishes

Hi Zac,

I have already been looking forward to seeing who will step forward to help pathe the way for a new generation of Scarlet users.
Really look forward to your offerings. Are you an Adobe user by any chance?

Best Wishes

Lots of little projects to get used to the camera initially. First big project is a mini documentary about a Tiger/Big Cat rescue foundation.
 
A 3D project with Zac of course :) Perhaps in Moab?

I will also be doing many tests with whichever camera I purchase. I think the majority of my footage will be going towards others film projects (Action Sports Related).

I plan on doing alot of HDRX shooting/testing right away.

Oh yeah I'll film my dogs at 120 fps. Then after that I'll take my shotgun out and shoot glass dishes braking at a 120 fps since we got about 30 new sets at our wedding, and nowhere to put the old ones ;)

Yep, Adobe, I'll be going over every matter of the camera, and try to do some post stuff.
 
My first project will be a dramatic pillow fight between two babes. for sure.
 
I am not sur what my first project will be. I have a few things scheduled for December and January. It will just depend on when I can get the camera(s). First project will probably not be as much as AJ's though. ;)
 
For everyoe who's going to make documentaries with Scarlet: remember to bring your B cam with you, something with good low light abilities (chepeast way is to get DSLR). Philip Bloom made documentary about Kessler Crane and he had to use his F3 for low light stuff because his EPIC was too noisy.

Thats not true, he said that the camera performed the worst by eye in lowlight, but once in post, he could push it so far that it was perfectly usable.
 
I have to consider what and where I'll be shooting. I saw a shoot in midtown manhattan yesterday that was using two RED's. Each camera had 3 security guys and I still saw about 3 attempts to grab the camera. Plus there was so much excitement amongst the general public they had to set up a kind of impromptu information booth to discuss this incredible camera. I don't have the resources for that. Has anyone thought of disguising the camera somehow?

I doubt it was about the camera....

Even if it was they'd realize after about 10 ft they wouldn't have gotten away with the camera...Even a basic epic setup your around 20-35lbs. Try running from 3 guys with a 35lb camera kit...aint happenin.

But to answer Arnold's question. Generally when I shoot inner city/downtown type stuff I usually have someone else with me, or I try to downsize my kit to make it more blended. For example. Isntead of using a Canon 70-200 2.8 (steal me white color) I'll rent/take out a 200 2.8 prime because it's black. You'd be amazed how much attention the big white lenses grab. It also helps with a more natural environment, a huge set up means people stare and wave at the camera....a normal looking 7d and they ignore me. Not sure how i'll do it on the Scarlet but I try to shoot things pretty hidden, whether it's behind tree's, smaller kit, inside my cart super zoomed in while being parked or other methods I've used.

For me the biggest concern isn't theft, rather people losing there natural life and being distracted by my camera. A fixed lens might be a good way to go about this, throw a sidehandle on there and most wouldn't be able to differentiate it from a DSLR. For example I was downtown yesterday, someone was shooting a video and had a mattebox and a geared out fs100, and was drawing a ton of attention just because of his kit. On our street mall someone was shooting the same camera, but wasn't drawing any attention.
