EPIC-X Redwoods
1 month ago
Here is the first video I shot with my brand new RED EPIC-X! Shot in 5KFF using Duclos Cine-mod Tokina 11-16mm t2.8 and RED 18-50mm t3.0.
I just got my EPIC-X last week. Since I've been working so much I haven't had much time to post or even shoot with it. Finally I got some free time and I took an awesome day-trip with my dad to Montgomery woods to shoot the world's largest redwood trees! Here's a blog my dad wrote about the experience: thelawlers.com/Blognosticator/
So far I am extremely impressed with the capabilities of this camera. This is the second RED video I have edited in Adobe Premiere. (the first being shot on the RED ONE MX) Considering I use After Effects and Photoshop every day, I am 100% done with FCP. Premier took me about 1 hour to adjust to.
I love being able to edit raw 5K footage (or even 7D footage) without rendering! If you are having trouble deciding on wether or not to switch from FCP to Premiere, JUST DO IT NOW. Trust me. I waited 5 months to switch when I should have waited 5 seconds.
The Epic-X is by far the coolest camera I've ever shot with. The capabilities are endless!
Vimeo is a great place to lean more about everything! So I want to help every vimeo member out! Feel free to email me, or post any questions you have about my epic, the workflow, or whatever you can dream up! I will answer every single question 100%.
Music by my favorite band: Hammock -
"Something Other Than Remaining"
Seriously, Hammock is the first band I've bought everything from on iTunes. I highly suggest the same for you guys! What an inspiring music group!

Prev week
if is HDR is different story.
-Aaron (the psychonauts' ball)
and you need to try VegasPro
takes 5K R3Ds native, no additional downloads needed
just out of curiousity but how much does a camera like that cost?
Thanks for share Patrick !
40-51 is the Red 17-50mm.
2:30-35 is probably the Tokina, but it could also be the 17-50mm in full wide.
PS about myself! I am from Chile! and love movies! Francis Copola and Denero are my best. Have you seen Taxi Drive?
I hate that i can't tell the difference btwn DSLR footage and any other 2K - 5K footage on web.
I was wondering when you transfered the footage, did you go through REDCINE first or directly to Premiere? and was there a special card reader required for RED SSD cards? thanks!
Also 2K footage is very close to 1080p size.
I gave everything a basic color grade in redcine-x at first but then I realized I would be spending much more time coloring shots that maybe wouldn't even be used, so I edited the whole thing in premiere and you can open the raw red metadata and color it very similarly with luma curves etc. So I just did it in premiere.
Thanks for watching :)
I'm trying to save for the ScarletX as i don't think i can push for the Epic
have only shot on HVX-35adpater and of course 5DMKII-1DMKIV
been dying to get RED since the beginning
love the RAW, slow mo in RED and was thinking of getting a second hand Red One for the fact of the 120fps in 2K
but dig the form factor of the scarlet and easy PL-EF mounts,...just missing good slow-motion
basically for the price range its either the scarletx, C300 or F3...besides the low light in the C300...i think the Scarlet stands out to me... unless you wanna pay $14,000 for a good low light camera
think id rather get the scarlet and bust out my 1DMKIV if i get into low light trouble
sorry for babbling haha...just know you rock the Red and would love to know your thoughts
just watched 'A lonely Place To Die' shot on Red One and oh my...beautiful, think the scarlet could easily do that
(with talent behind the camera of course)
always been digging around to try and find good raw clips so i can practice importing and grading before i go Red
how'd you get your Epic-X so fast?.. cuz arnt they still coming soon and only shipping the Epic-M
get familiar with importing, grading with diff red footage etc
just a 10 sec or so clip :)
hope you have a great new years :)
Must be a great camera! I can only second your suggestion to switch to Premiere.
happy new year and greets from munich
Also when you build the epic up to its full studio configuration with real lenses, a mattebox and follow focus, the V-lock batteries and everything, it's a pretty big and heavy camera.
Now let me ask you, FCP or PR? Which program and why?
My sister is thinking about going to film school and wants to learn FCP but I told her to learn PR instead. Since you are obviously experienced and know what you are doing which program would you prefer to learn the best?
