Filmmaker plans to shoot with tiny camera in eye.

AP – Canadian filmmaker Rob Spence shows
his prosthetic eye during an interview
with the Associated Press …


"BRUSSELS – A one-eyed documentary filmmaker is preparing to work with
a video camera concealed inside a prosthetic eye, hoping to secretly record
people for a project commenting on the global spread of surveillance cameras.
Canadian Rob Spence's eye was damaged in a childhood shooting accident and
it was removed three years ago. Now, he is in the final stages of developing
a camera to turn the handicap into an advantage."

if red developed this camera, would they call it a RED-eye?

RED Eye-Drop storage unit and don't forget the Eye-Lid matte box.

The original article noted that the technology was originally developed for colonoscopy work. Let's hope they don't try to reuse any parts...

Somehow I see the porn industry latching onto this one.

"The camera was provided by Santa Clara, California-based OmniVision Inc.,
a company that specializes in the miniature cameras found in cell phones, laptops and endoscopes"

"OmniVision products serve a wide variety of markets and applications, each with their own set of requirements.
Our line of analog and digital image sensor products complemented by a family of image signal processors offers
a solution for virtually every imaging application."

I've known Rob for a few years now. He's a great guy and very funny. This is going to be a very funny and poignant doc. Can't wait to get a chance to see it.

One thing to take into consideration is that the documentary will have sudden cuts to black as he blinks.

But hey, maybe he can manage to blink 48 times per second!
