skate - shot on red - 120 fps from opus magnum prod. on Vimeo.
I read this month’s Wired article about Oakley founder Jim Jannard’s new project to create a digital movie camera that matches the richness of analog with great interest. It sounded like a cool project and product from an eccentric billionaire with time on his hands now that he sold Oakley. Anyways, just checked out this sick video shot with the Red One and it is pretty impressive. Exciting how the tools for high quality digital production keep getting better and the prices keep going down. The second wave of digital media on the web (Media 2.0) in my mind is yet to be close to realized but these types of tools will ensure a great user experience.
