Photoset

These are some photos taken at the SEEING RED: EPIC First Look with Ted Schilowitz event. There were some 200 over people who flocked down to The Cathay Cinema to partake in the unveiling of RED Cinema’s latest addition & to listen to what Ted Schilowitz had to say, as well as to check out stunning footage captured by the latest 5K Mysterium X Sensor. Participants had the chance to interact with RED Cinema’s “Rebel Leader” at the cocktail event after the talk and screening. 3 lucky participants got to walk away with lucky draw prizes, Stereoscopic courses worth $600 each. They were Mr. Timothy Chua, Mr. Shaun Koh and Mr. Amandi Wong!. :)

All-in-all, it was an eye-opening experience for everyone present, and AV8 Media is proud to have been able to be a part of the team that brought you this event.

We hope to bring you more exciting and informative events such as these, so stay tuned!

The first paragraph:

“I have to admit that I was pretty excited this morning when I arrived at Cathay Cineplex.  Red Digital Cinema, the “rebel with a cause” cinema camera company has been hitting the road, showing off the prototype Epic with the Mysterium-X(MX) sensor with HDRx. The “leader of the rebellion” (that is his official company title), Ted Schilowitz, was in Singapore to demonstrate the working prototype along with showing the 4k demo reel of the Epic-X and Red One with the MX sensor.”
