The two-second video after the break may not seem like much -- a
RED EPIC
S35 with a 85mm Canon lens changing its focus from a box at a distance
to a hand being moved in front of the lens ("closer than close focus,"
according to "Fire Chief" Jarred Land). What's more interesting here is
what was used to take the video. In the same forum thread that unveiled
the footage, employees claimed it was shot using the RED
Scarlet
2/3" and provided the above pic as proof: Scarlet is above, EPIC on the
bottom, and a standard pocket camera capturing the moment. Not a lot to
glean from the video and no definitive update
on the production schedule,
but hey, take solace in knowing a Canon mount for EPIC is ready and
will be therefore presumably be available when the camera does
eventually find its way out the door. Video and larger version of above
pic after the break.
