RED Digital Cinema have been getting a lot of media attention lately with their range of super high resolution cameras. But for us 3D fans the great news is their cameras have the capabilty of shooting mega high quality 3D movies. RED call their 3D format ‘R3D’ and the footage can be edited in RED’s proprietry software apps ‘REDCINE’ & ‘RED Alert’. Alternatively ‘Scratch’ and ‘Final Cut Pro’ (6.02 or above) are also able to edit the native RAW R3D. Other than the fact that these cameras shoot from 3K right up to 28K (261 megapixels @ 25 fps), they are extremely reasonably priced (considering the technology used). Several movies have previously been shot using previous models of RED 3D cameras and the results are impressive but the news coming from RED PR suggest this is only the tip of the iceberg (in terms of 3D technology) and RED has some big plans for 3D cinema technology in the future. Watch this space!
