RED Epic cameras are the bees ’ knees in television camera tech , but their data throughput makes using typical store choice seem like satiate a water balloon with a fire hose . Vincent Laforet gives us a look athow his team handles the pelter .

shoot on the RED Epic in full 5k resolve eats up a preposterous 3 - 5 GB per minute . They also fool with a Hasselblad H4D , EOS 5D Mark II , EOS 7D , and EOS 1D Mark IV , each of which shoot RAW figure at about 40MP each . Their work flow is really impressive — and informatory — but I ca n’t help but envisage them shove off through those 128 GB SSDs and tossing them away like empty clip in a Stallone movie .
