Will it rent?

[Paul Nordin]

YES you can make money on rentals...IF your established as a DP or operator and are being hired because of YOU not your gear..

NO you will not make money or rent it.. if you are not one of these things and sought after for your talents

thats the one thing I am starting to see again THANK GOD..
is people being hired for their talent again vs just because they have gear and are whoring it out.

Mostly agree. Chicago, like San Francisco where I work, is mostly a commercial town. Commercial shoots will -always- go with the better kit (Epic), from established rental firms. S35 will be an owner operator's kit, with marginal rental value, but premium -get gigs- value. S35 will be rented out by the bigger rental houses to supplement multicam Epic shoots. Indie-narative work will be the feeding ground of S35. Commercials & music videos -EPIC. Exceptions to the rule will of course rule, but thats the way I see the trends.

Blender vs. RED = blender lose :reddevil:

+1 There is no way that thing is gonna get through the body. Might crack the screen, tare at the EVF eye-cup, even get a couple of nasty gashes on the body. But that blender ain't tough enough fo' RED. Bring it blender!
:bath:
