yeah, having Red come over to Vietnam was a total trip. I'm so glad we were able to squeeze this interview in time right before he jumped on the plane to Japan.

thanks! I will definitely post more Epic info stuff as it comes. stay tuned.

Yes.

Yeah what is cool is that this camera does this with electronic canon lenses. The touchscreen focus is insane.

Somewhere around $28,000 - $29,000 is what I've heard. I'll stick to my 7D for now.

(screams) $29,000, i think i'll stick with my 5DII for now and definitely wait for the 5DIII when it comes out.

Peter Jackson is using 30 of these Red Epics to shoot Hobbit. Ridley Scott is using this to shoot the next ALiens Prequel and it is currently being used on Spiderman. Pretty early impressive portfolio I would say.

The 5d has a "full frame sensor" that shoots "STILLS" full frame..but video at 1920x1080p. This camera outputs video in RAW (not compressed h.264) at 5120 x 2700. You can check out the reference pixel chart: red.com/images/products/epic/compare.png

1) you can edit the proxy files and export to any format size you want. yes, it will take render time during export..but you can drag and drop raw files directly into the Adobe Premiere timeline (for one example) and start cutting right away. 2) all of your work is future proof and your work will have the benefit of having an insane amount of quality when you downsample to 1080p. Look at all the standard def content. It looks like garbage compared to HD. If I had shot my feature film in SD, it would not be able to be released in HD. Likewise, anything shot in HD now will not be able to be released when 4k becomes the standard.

This not a prosumer camera. You are right about that. It is being used on 200 million dollar feature films.
