Red One Filmography.

Red One is a type of film camera. Some directors think it is amazing. Steven Soderbergh used when filming Che "this is the camera I've been waiting for my whole career jaw-dropping imagery recorded on board a camera light enough to hold with one hand" However director Werner Herzog who used it to film My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done? was disappointed with the amount of time it took the camera to reboot.

The films and TV series it has been used on are:
  • Leverage
  • Degrassi: The Next Generation
  • Red Dwarf: Back to Earth
  • The Social Network
  • Red State
  • Red Riding
  • ER
  • Southland
  • Sanctuary
  • Payanam

3D Cinema at the Slide?

After "Avatar" people assumed that 3D would take over as 80% of the people who when to see it saw it in 3D. The intake for 3D has gone down since Avatar which suggests that moviegoers are unwillling to pay more for uneven quality. For example, only 45% of the opening box-office revenue for "Despicable Me" came from 3D distribution.



Studio executives are sure that the public are not losing interest in 3D despite data showing a dropping percentage of thev amount of the box-office sales on 3D tickets. They think the reason for this is that childrens' 3D films are less popular because it's had to get the kids to keep the glasses on, so parents don't take them to see 3D films however films that pull in more adults like Alice in Wonderland and Avatar do better.

Disney's "Mars Needs Mums" a flop?

Disney's $175 million flop could be the end of the current flurry of 3D film making and the spending in CGI and other expensive digital technology. The impace of this and the recession could be serious for 3D film especially when films like The King's Speech can be produced for a lot less and win more Oscars and Baftas.
