What is EPIC?

[Jarred Land]

This may already be common knowledge who is the brain child behind the EPIC and the DSMC concept? Obviously the EPIC resulted from the collabortion of many but who sparked the development of the camera?

That's an easy one... Jim.

Love this thread, thanks Jim -- can't wait to show you what I've been working on for you guys :)

Red is simply the most cutting-edge, customer-centric, communicative, crazy, caring and coolest company ever!

You guys rock, thanks for burning the midnight oil to share yet again.

Still proud of you. And and proud to be part of this family.

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.

Here's the crazy thing about Epic for me, it is not just a camera.

Epic is a box that creates a feeling inside a filmmaker. A box that gives you the feeling that you had when you first picked up a camera and knew that cinema was what you wanted to do.

Any company can make a camera, Red makes a camera that creates a feeling. That is the difference.



End soap opera here.

I love it - the ultimate "F you" to anyone who doubted in the humble beginnings

It's fun to point that out and all but it's also important to remember that most of those claims were made back when there were like 10 other groups saying they were making cameras like the red one, it just so happens red was the only company that wasn't full of it.

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

Jim

...but killing the competition
