TrendWatch Launched!
Topic & Speaker Details:
The RED Digital Cinema Camera is a revolutionary system which is capable of producing
images at up to 4.5K resolution, which rival that of 35mm film. The camera is now
a mainstay of the Advertising, Independent film and Music Video industries due to
its relatively low cost and quality. Hollywood has also been quick to adopt the
RED for use in Feature Films such as (most recently) "District 9", "Knowing", and
"The Book of Eli" as well as TV Show such as "ER" and "Leverage". This presentation
will explain what the RED-One is, discuss why it has had such an impact on the industry
and talk about the RED as a vehicle for the future of digital media.
