RED Scarlet & Epic Dropped

The news is finally in and RED has changed the game. With the new announcement of both RED Scarlet and RED Epic, RED has made many a geek filmmaker giddy with joy.

Here’s a quick rundown of the announcement.

Scarlet
Scarlet 2/3″ 3K 120 fps $2,500
Scarlet S35 5K 30 fps $7,000
Scarlet FF35 6k 30 fps $12,000

Epic
Epic S35 5K 100 fps $28,000
Epic FF35 6K 100 fps $35,000
Epic 645 9K (think IMAX) 50 fps $45,000
Epic 617 28K 25 fps $55,000

That’s right, 28K!

The hottest thing about all these, is that they’re swappable. What that means is if you have a Scarlet S35 package, but need some high speed shooting, you can rent an Epic S35 and drop it into the rest of your kit, saving you tons of money.

Needless to say, I want a Scarlet S35.

Oh, and all these cameras can double as DSLRs too. One solution for all your image capture needs.

From OpenCut.org

OpenCut is a completely open-source film competition designed to encourage people to take professionally shot material and edit it in their own way. As there is no “one way” to tell a story, so too can stories benefit from being re-edited and re-told from many different vantage points and perspectives.

The winner of OpenCut 1.0 will receive a brand new AJA IO HD from Silverado. They will also be recognized as the “editor-of-record” at IMDB and will have their cut submitted to multiple film festivals.

Registration starts on midnight May 18th, 2008. Pay them $25. Send them a HDD. Get 160 GB of RED footage. Edit, color correct, whatever. Win great honor.
