Know the RED cameras? They’re dSLRs that do video…or the video cameras that do still frame…or, I don’t really know because they’re that far out of my reach. As a matter of fact, they don’t even sell them on Amazon. I’m not making this up. I know, the Apocalypse, right?
So naturally I was perusing their website in the same way I’ll sometimes find myself on Bently’s site building my own Azure or weighing the options because I might really like the Continental better. You never know.
Back-to-the-camera.
Interesting to note, it was used to shoot some recent movies like The Informant, District 9, Gamer, and My Bloody Valentine 3D. Not that you can tell by watching the movies themselves (RED’s website spilled the beans).
It’s always cool to me to see the converging of these kinds of technologies. In fact, Alexx Henry, whom I greatly admire as a money-making artist, in his latest blog post talks about the nearness of a video-print-fused format. Like a video on the cover of a magazine, etc. It’s paper thin and flexible. I guess the last hurtle is making it affordable enough to be disposable. But it shouldn’t be too much longer until you’ll see it around.
More on RED; click here to see some of their outlandish prices! You can order your own straight from their site. Isn’t it fun?
Here’s a picture of one. It would cause some problems if I took this on vacation.
