David Emery OnlineRED ONE Camera Shoots Esquire Magazine Cover
1 May 2009
Esquire magazine today announced that the June 2009 issue of their rather glorious magazine (on sale May 10) features Megan Fox on its cover, and more importantly, that the image was captured with a video camera. Yes. That’s right the REDone’s 4k image is the first I know of to be sitting nicely on the front cover of a high-end, public-at-large magazine.
The march of progress continues, although I think possibly the point may be: Why? It’s a nice enough cover but it’s hardly something that couldn’t have been achieved via a traditional camera.
What I wonder is how on earth you go about wading through the footage to find the ‘shots’? For example on Monday at the Sonic Youth gig I took over 1000 shots and picking between those was hard enough – what do you do when you have 10 minutes of footage at 25fps (which works out as 15,000 frames)?
