What, are you saying He is really a SHE?

Hey Mark, how much is the Gates setup worth with the camera?

Dean.... Dean....I thought you were the Amphibico man.

Have you got a housing for your EX1.3 yet?

As we all know, Mike does like to cross dress every now and then!!!

The Gates system with a RED depends on the setup, what lens you use, monitor or no monitor etc etc. Bog standard with a wide lens such as the RED 18-50mm with one battery a 320GB HDD, 5" External Monitor and an ND.9 on a sunny day will cost you north of $50k.

Bust open those piggy banks mate.

Cheers,

Mark.

$50k was a lot cheaper this time last year as it would have come in under £25k - now it is looking to be over £35k! I think the Euro/$ has held up though, so it's probably just the £ where it is hurting.

Can't wait for the review Mark! Not that I'm in the market for one of course (had to add this bit in case Zoe comes on here and sees me plotting and then I'm in for a battering! haha)

Cheers, Simon

"I go...Where the music takes me !!!!"

I am for the A1 Mr Wags... And nope haven't got he Ex1 wet yet... Was waiting on Mr Buxtons report on the Sealux but seeing how its not up to standard on the basics and their customer service is 'allegedly' not good i will be considering other options... But it will cost around £10,000 for what i want... Cheaper for me to hire a Z1 / Phenom combo for what i need on my next project...

Ex1.3..??? is that a new one...

To be honest i think many are going to be dazzled by all the hysteria again... Is having a £40,000 piece of kit really what you need... I bought my Ex1 because i had the chance of some funding for some nice projects, but it fell through and now i've only used it 10 times at the most, hopefully that will change this year Once again you will NOT be the next Howard Hall just because you have RED ... We had this when the Z1's were coming out people nearly breaking the bank for it but i dont see a hundreds of Z1 owning U/W shooters getting their names on the big production credits just because they bought one... I was filming wildlife with a 'mobile phone' for the Nat Hist Unit the other week... Oh the Irony !!!... Theres a new buzz word...'Hire'...

But i suppose if you have the money for RED / SCARLET go for it you never know... If not Their make lovely paper weights...

It aint what you got it's the way that you use it. Amen to that.

In reality though most broadcasters are still more than happy to use DV, let alone HDV which just seems to confuse them (that tape you sent me wont play). I did notice the other day that 'Yellowstone' had been shot at least partly on RED One's, so not sure if that was a first for the NHU or not. I'm not in the market for a Red One, but Scarlet does interest me. It's size is the main factor as in theory it will blow the socks off anything else in that range. I've got lots of hours used and more than my money's worth from my trusty (and now slightly battered) V1, but it is beginning to become too big to travel with. Eventually everything needs replacing, although hopefully I've got a couple more years from the V1 before I have to worry.

You do of course have some productions that will only accept the cream of the cream, but in percentage terms these are tiny compared to the overall broadcast market. It doesn't mean they don't exist though and if you are lucky enough to get on board with one of those productions or have another avenue to justify buying a top end camera then go for it

You've only used it 10 times because you're always pissed up the pub rather than sitting in a hedgerow somewhere ready to jump out on some mating squirrels!

Ok, wheres the Red review...I can't wait!

If not Their make lovely paper weights...

Must be nice to be wealthy Mark. Then again, you earned it so just call this jealousy.;-) Glad all is well with you.

Your a little confused Simon... im usually slumped in a hedgerow, pissed, being mated by some squirrels...

I can see a few peeps buying RED / SCARLET and having some fantastic footage of holiday makers doing try dives ... Or some weird freshwater fish swimming around a freezing freshwater quarry...

I read this last night and had to wait for the convulsions of laughter to subside to a state where I could type correctly!! Wealthy in experience mate, that's about all. As you know the big thing is having a strong partner, someone who backs up your ideas with moral support and understanding. I have that in my wife, Terri. She knows where I want to go with this and lets me work towards that. Giving up some of the luxuries that some people covet in order to progress is the way we do things. Almost out of the woods and on the way, with her support never waning. I consider myself to be very lucky in that regard.

Cheers,

Mark.
