The RED EPIC! - Film Riot

Ryan has the RED EPIC on loan from the good people of Kessler Crane, so... Now he will break it out to show you the basics of how the camera works!

it's so ironic how this video is in 720p...

Ryan Connely: Let's get the Red Epic and shoot in 5K, and then upload it to youtube in 720p! and then show people how great the footage looked!

Ryan...Thank you so much for bringing us this channel! I am super excited to see what you have in store next. I am curious about your audio production though, as I have noticed quite a bit of heavy clipping throughout some of your recent casts. I have more of an audio background than video,  so any pointers to problems experienced with audio during pre or post would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for what you and your team are doing. I am really excited for you!

Anyone here in 2019 looking up old reviews for these cameras now that they are somewhat affordable? lol Yea, you can't see the difference much between 24fps and 48fps at the rendered video at 720p. Seems like Film Riot should have known that back then but hey, hindsight being 20/20 and all The Hobbit at 48fps looked way too much like the video smoothing everyone has hated for years. It's just not the cinema 'look'. The slow motion shots in this video really sold the camera though. The type of slow-mo in this video is slo-mo done right. many movies screw up slo-mo and I don't understand how they don't catch that in post. You know, the shots that are slow but seem like they have less frames? Oh well. Great review. I think these cameras are awesome!

dont wanna know how long a 500GB SSD would last in 5K RAW 200fps...

[filmriot]

@voelkerb A few reasons. 1) the episode was shot edited and delivered in one day. 2) The shots aren't graded, just a preset applied. 3) compression. We show off the quality that the EPIC can achieve in the short film we are shooting with it.

When will you be doing a RED giveaway?

Please!

Did you figure out how are you going to broadcast Tell online? I'm super excited and I can't wait to see it. :)

I got to use this bad boy last weekend. It's such an amazing camera, so much heavier than I expected considering the size. Our kit included some nice Zeiss CP.2s as well which are very nice lenses, I would love to own a set for my 7D. I was definitely felt like a kid in a toy store haha.

Too bad YouTube doesn't play videos in more than 30fps

[CaitlinImbimbo]

The super slow motion footage is impressive! This camera is SO powerful...

[fd]

somehow you managed to make the epic's footage look horrible

[bouchandre]

@RodyPolis that's because of the youtube compression. On a big screen you would see the difference. Also this camera can record at up to 5k, and it has a lot of pro features.

[iSOBigD]

Ryan, what's the max resolution when recording at 300 fps on the Epic?

[mitchell]

I just bought 2!

jk i'm poor :(

[TheMoviesRM]

Ryan, thank you very much for sharing with your experience with this cinema-grade camera. While I appreciate your more "low-budget" tips, I also found this video very interesting and could see it being helpful in the future. Keep up the good work!

It's just a box with a hole in the front.

[iSOBigD]

@MinecraftSesh Yes, shoot at a high frame rate or use frame blending and stretch your regular footage if it doesn't have much motion blur.
