5K RAW at 96 frames per second

RED Epic-X #395 Arrives!

Film Style, Production Nov 08, 2011 No Comments

Our Epic finally arrived!

The same camera that James Cameron is using for Avatar 2 and Peter Jackson chose for the Hobbit is now available for our projects and clients.  The new Epic-X will allow us to shoot 5K resolution RAW at 96 frames per second (or up to 300 fps at 2k!).

One of the most exciting aspects of working with the Epic is that the small package allows a lot of flexibility.  Most of the critical components fit in a case small enough to carry onto an airplane without a problem allowing us to travel light.  Because the camera body is less than 5lbs we’re able to take advantage of it on our Steadicam and lightweight crane for unique shots without sacrificing quality.

This doesn’t mean that our RED MX will be collecting dust – It’s a perfect match for the Epic as a second camera.  Now we’re able to offer a two camera RED MX/Epic package for projects at an incredibly reasonable price.

Check out the Epic 700 reel to get a taste of this camera’s amazing potential.
