RED launch a nice, short shot across the bow of RED fans. It was a reminder that Scarlet was still on the go, that things were moving and that RED Scarlet fans were not forgotten.
Jarred Land, the Fire Chief of REDUser.net posted this video on the forum with the text:
Single Shot AF mode / 85mm Canon Lens / EPIC S35
Not being someone who has worked with 3D, let along 3D camera rigs, I have to say that the Prism/Mirror rig was surprising to see. It must have been my assumption that the cameras should be orientated in the same manner as the human eyes are. Well, I was wrong. There are other ways, like this 3D Rig from RED. Besides the fact that is it awesome to see a RED camera in use for 3D capture.

Joseph Hutson over at RedUser.net asked 10 Questions about the Red Scarlet Digital Cinema Camera. If you know anything about the RED One and it’s buddies; Epic and Scarlet, you may wanner check out the answers. Perhaps you have already. However, here is what stood out for me, together with some of my own thoughts. (more…)

You know you get those stories of things that just can’t be real; someone brings it up in conversation some time or another, the urban legend.
Ok granted, it will optimistic to think that this will be released with a year, but going on the reputation of RED – it will be released. Imagine that 28k footage – what on earth do you view that on? “umm – I will be editing the full res sequence on the surface of the moon”

RED had their much anticipated announcement on October 30th. There was much said. But my intention here is to highlight the camera, not to review it but just to parade it – cos this is an awesome super-duper camera of note – word.
Not really sure what the cost will be in this case because of the vast configuration options. Typically you would start with the brain (sensor part) and build from there. But with RED One owners there are intensives for similar configurations when investing in this new baby. Wish I could be in that club with the cash on hand for this camera; but having said that – I am very keep the hear more about the Epic FF35 option.

One thing I found interesting is the difference between S35 and FF35; here is what RED said (really worth it):
In examining the two families, Scarlet and EPIC, it is apparent that there is crossover on the S35 and FF35 sensors. The Scarlet versions of these sensors are designed to handle a wide variety of cine applications and will likely become the most commonly used cameras for independent film making, music videos, commercials and anywhere an HD video camera might have been considered. Frame rates allow up to 30fps, with brief bursts for slow motion effect. At lower resolutions, higher frame rates are available for further options. Still performance at 13.8 and 24MP, respectively, will target Scarlet DSMC S35 and FF35 as the “go to” camera when both stills and motion are required. Conversely, EPIC versions of S35 and FF35 are all about frame rate and data rate. Hand machined, versus cast, bodies will be designed for day in/ day out professional on-set use, while the larger, more robust bodies, will have additional electronics and cooling systems that will allow the incredible frame rates of EPIC. At 5K and 6K, respectively, EPIC will be able to run at 100 fps! At 2K, EPIC FF35 will be able to run at an amazing 350fps. Remarkably, and the great …
From the time of publishing this post there was 6 hours and 16 minutes the RED’s announcement of what is happening to RED’s 5K Epic and 3K Scarlet. I am waiting with baited breath on this one – it is going to be cool.
