‘Knowing’ Teaser, plus RED is making waves!
This has been a film in the making that I personally have been eagerly awaiting. Not the movie itself (although it looks really good) but simply that it’s the next film from director Alex Proyas. Watch the teaser trailer, then read below to learn about the tech-connection the film has with a hot new camera system that’s making huge waves…
Red Digital Cinema / Red One:
[Red Digital Cinema has developed a revolutionary motion picture camera, the Red One. The Red One is the first digital movie camera that matches the detail and richness of analog film.
It records motion in an astounding 4,096 lines of horizontal resolution and 2,304 of vertical. By way of comparison, hi-definition digital movies like Sin City and the Star Wars prequels top out at 1,920 by 1,080. Red One delivers all the dazzle of analog, but it’s easier to use and orders of magnitude cheaper than a film camera. It threatens to make 35-mm movie film obsolete.] — Dr. Mercola (yeah, it’s an odd source that I nabbed from my Google reader but I liked how it laid out what Red is all about in so few words.)
Here’s a nice Internet sample of what RED can do…
