Check out this great use of multimedia by photographer Robbie Cooper.  This demonstrates where I think one of the directions that I think journalism should be headed – a true mix of different media (or multiple uses of the same media as we see here – pulling stills from the RED camera.)   The fact that this is very well shot (great light etc) and fun to watch doesn’t hurt either – not to mentions that it’s a fantastic concept.

I’m on the road and don’t have my NYTimes Magazine here – but I can’t wait to see what the stills look like in the mag (they’re off of the RED video camera.)  I haven’t heard good things about the quality of stills off of the RED to date – but I’m looking forward to being pleasantly surprised.  They sure look more than good enough for the web (I’d say fantastic.)

The Redrock Micro DSLR Cinema rig for the Canon EOS 5D MKII

Canon just posted an interview that I did with them a few weeks ago on their site. In the interview I discuss how the “Reverie” video came to be, my experience with the 5D MKII during the shoot, as well as some upcoming projects and thoughts on where this is all headed.  I usually cringe when I see myself quoted in print – but this little interview turned out quite well, I almost sound like I know what I’m talking about!  You’ll see a video half way through the article that shows the 5D MKII mounted inside a Redrock Micro rig.   You can also view an alternate edit to the behind the scenes video edited by  Andre Costantini (who cut Reverie) for Canon’s site.
