As Brian says, however there is a potential shortcut if your a writer, if something you write is sucessful, there is a good chance you will be able to 'insist' on directing the next blockbuster.

To be honest it looks nothing like 2000 fps!

You wrote to me I replied & you wrote back, why would I ever want to waste my time sending you a PM. You also Friended me yesterday :lol: I am more than happy to publish our entire conversation, you sent the first shot, it's upto you! If you look in the Red folder, there has been plenty of banter over the years. Best Stephen

My pleasure Tim, you can't imagine the tone of a PM I received about this! He is even going to report me to my boss if I ever contact him again :lol: Best Stephen

Perhaps you are not aware, I am the moderator of the HD forums here & that BTW includes RED.

Hi Scott, I am concerned that the 7th post you ever made here was misleading, thats all, other places have lower standards.

www.scottippolito.com I hate to be VERY VERY rude, I do not believe you are just breaking even your making a profit. You are quoting todays prices, you ordered last year at lower Price. The buyer should be aware that the waranty is NOT transferable, a fee is payable for camera evaluation & a 3 month waranty will be given. Epics are in stock for immediate shipping, I suspect the wait for Scarlet is very short. BTW you don't seem to have a way to operate the camera, the buyer would need to buy either a sidehandle, redmote or touch screen plus media if he actually wants to use the camera.

Mitchell was the gold standard, Panavision use pretty much the same movement, you can't improve on enigneering design from 90 years ago! I still earn a large proportion of my income from using a Mitchell, which some will find odd as I own an Epic!

Thats not being offeren for sale is it? so what your selling is totally unusable as we speak, Remind me, How much did you actually pay for this under $20k, just saying! The buyer should also be informed that he will get only a 90 day warranty on the brain which can't be extended, however if you buy a new Epic M the warranty is 2 years which can be extended to 4 years. There has to be a fairly good price incentive to buy used.

Am I correct in thinking that you don't have a way to power the camera at this time?

Hi Landon, I remember suggesting you did not host your web site for free in the past, I still think you would come over more professional if you did. Best Stephen

Bear in mind that real time & stop motion are the other end of the spectrum with MOCO. Stepping motors are cheap and perfect for time lapse they vibrate & dont go that fast when used for real time. There is no perfevt soloution & renting is often the best .

I am takling about the UK police especially in London, I lived there for over 30 years. The Swiss police behave well & get respect of their citizens I remember when my car got towed away, I was parked in one of the very few streets without yellow lines in W2, however it was snowing so the policeman ASSUMED there were yellow lines! When I complained at the local police station they said you cant make a complaint about a ticket, I said my complaint is about "an attempt to pervert the course of justice". At that point they started to take the matter seriousely!

I think thats the problem, no common sense & low intelligence. The army is not recruiting, the police are!

I doubt the person writing the IMDB trivia has any clur what they are talking about, clearly not 'facts'

I have never heard of anybody backing up a print before, if you wanted an extra print you would print another, however for safety in those days one might have struck a CRI. I can't believe Kodak would have had done it at all, they would not have been allowed to & would not have had access to the negative. Very strange story from the video age IMHO.

I guess you don't ever shoot film. EXTRA 100K your having a laugh, as for slower set up times........ Features have been shot on 35mm where everybody gets paid for $100,000 the films have even turned a profit.

When I was younger the UK Police behaved themselves, they got & deserved the respect of the majority of citizens. Today they behave very badly & don't deserve any respect, it's there own fault. I have zero sympathy for them.

They say it's been film tested, so I assume it's complete & working. They offer a 30 day limited guarantee & allow inspections. On the Me page one of the names Dara Reusch is the person I always delt with 10 years ago. Feedback is 99.8% with over 1100 sales in the last year. I don't think they are scammers or intend to rip people off.

They used to do low starting bid auctions without reserve, I guess that does not work now! They used to sell of a huge amount of ex government stock. Once I bought something that was not complete, they just sent me another one without me having to send the first one back!

Interestingly Kinemanan is a reputable company who I have bought loads of Mitchell parts over the years, perhaps you should ask some questions & see what they say. Best Stephen

Hi Alfonso, I am very pleased you give us details of your very thorough tests, they are very much appreciated. Best, Stephen

I answered this question for you almost an hour before you double posted & yes I have used one.

It all depends on the condition & servicing of the camera, at 24/25 it should be pretty good.

The exposure will drop by 2 stops. BTW this is a real name forum, please change your user name.
