RED SCARLET is HERE AT LAST!!!!

I and many many other DV Geeks have waited and dreamed about this camera for longer than I want to admit. Just as their first Red One camera was scoffed and not believed in....before it was actually released, there were a lot of people who did not believe it would ever actually come to be. But RED has proved the non-believers wrong again. This beautiful piece of technology was released yesterday and will actually begin shipping on November 17th.......just 12 days from now.
The Red Scarlet has a 5K burst mode which can snap up to 12 fps with 4K reaching up to 30 fps. Red’s other option accessories and modules also allow you to configure your camera to adapt and fit every shoot. Price for the Scarlet X brain plus a SSD is $9,750 £6,000 or €7,000). For a kit with controller and LCD the cost will be around $14,000 £8,700 or €10,000) depending on options. Shipping will commence on November 17th although these will require buying a version with a titanium PL mount for lenses.
Stay tuned for more info on this BABY!!

RED Scarlet....Finally!!! On Nov. 3rd

Well, it looks like Canon won't be the only company making a big camera announcement on November 3rd. RED CEO Jim Jannard has now confirmed that it will also be officially announcing its "new" RED Scarlet camera on the very same day (no coincidence, it seems), at which point it will detail "all the changes" the company has made to it. Unfortunately, that's about all the company is saying right now, although Jannard promises that "when we announce the changes, we will be ready to ship."

The Sony A77 / THE GAME CHANGER?

The A77 sports a new 24.3MP Exmor APS-C sized sensor, the world's first OLED electronic viewfinder in a DSLR, and a 3-inch 921,600-dot LCD monitor that flips down and swivels -- mounted on an armature that lets it extend away from the body and rise up, so that you can face it forward for self-portraits. Oh, and it also includes all the whiz-bang features that Sony has been building into all of its cameras lately, such as Auto HDR, which combines three shots of different exposures to expand the dynamic range of the resulting image; Handheld Twilight, which combines six low-light shots in order to reduce noise; and Sweep Panorama, which stitches together slivers of many exposures for a super-wide panorama.

The price for all of this? Body only, the A77 sells for $1,400. That's about $200 less than Canon's EOS 7D and Nikon's D300s.

Philip Bloom is an Inspiration

I have followed the career of Phillip Bloom for a few years now and he has continued to be an inspiration...not only to me but to thousands of of other "would be film makers". What is amazing about Philip is that he not only is one of the best in the biz today, but also has a real gift for sharing his love and knowledge of the technology regarding the great art of Film making! One of his latest short films is about a place close to my home (both....geographically and to my heart). It takes place in my beautiful home state of Michigan. For my friends living on the other side of the world.......if you look at a map of my state, you will immediately see that the Great Lakes surrounding it.....is an attribute that no other state in the USA has. This is just PLAIN and SIMPLE "Great Film Making". Please take a few minutes and view this amazing piece of work.

The Red Scarlet / Too Amazing to be Reality

Here is Ted from Red at CES 2011, showing the proto of the final and REAL Red Scarlet. Lots of us film makers have waited for this camera for a long time. And many began to think it would never happen. But beleive it or not........It looks like it is a reality!! Not yet for sale, but they are selling the Epic, and this prototype of the Scarlet, looks to be on the same R&D path. We might actually have the camera of our dreams after all!!!
