RED EPIC‚ is alive and well in the field these days, as cameras are being tested for a variety of high profile future projects. At home, in the studio, use case tests are under way testing EPIC in extreme conditions and situations. These first pilot cameras are undergoing the scrutiny of engineers and in-house photo and cine experts, as the remaining bugs and glitches are being worked out and the camera's operating software is stabilized.

Returning home from a one month tour, starting at IBC in Amsterdam and winding its way through Germany, Ted Schilowitz regaled the RED‚ Team of stories of one successful Expo, seminar or get together after another. Over the course of a month, at dozens and dozens of public gatherings, his EPIC performed flawlessly, never failing to delight the crowds. The lessons learned with the early introduction of the RED ONE‚ taught RED the value of testing and more testing for the stability expected in the professional marketplace. It's not enough just to be the best image. Reliability is key. All indications are that EPIC is almost ready for Prime Time and everyone is getting very excited. The anticipation of this milestone product is palpable as we enter an era where film will give way to digital and EPIC will lead the revolution.
