Adult film studio Digital Playground says it's started filming movies with RED One digital cameras which purport to offer four times the resolution of a regular high-def camera.

In a statement released today, the studio says the RED One camera was used in the Fox studio release Jumper and will be employed in two upcoming Steven Spielberg movies.

Jim you might be getting a few more orders soon. every porn palace on the planet
 
wtf? that statement's all over the place
 
ick.

I'm thinking that porn is the one industry which might not benefit from the extra resolution from this camera. Either that or they are going to need a lesson in 'soft lighting' real quick.

My eyes - they burn!!!

HD never caught on in the porn industry (which usually drives technical innovation; VHS, web-video...), mainly because in that resolution it really shows what quick turn-around times they have.

4k porn? Don't really think so...
 
porn doesnt need more rez, but if given a choice, I always want WHATEVER im watching to look as good as possible. If some porn director decides he wants to be ambitious and give his flick some production value, more power to 'em :)
 
lol, if you really do represent digital playground then sweet. No joke, I'm seriously curious what you guys are doing with the camera. Prolly not gunna be able to post it here though :)

Several San Francisco porn producers are already using RED in their productions. They cannot provide the full 4K at this time and even the full 2K is problematic because they cannot get Blue Ray disc duplication companies to produce Blue Ray discs for them and there is little demand for expensive Blue ray porn at this time. Also, online consumers do not want slow 4K or even 2K downloads. But the RED camera is in use. Porn producers will be the largest customers of RED because they produce over 150,000 porn movies every year and they can easily afford RED.

Steven Spielberg is using RED even though he could use any camera including film, Dalsa, F35 and D20. Then again, he has a reputation for stealing plots and ideas from other artists and producers. His first blockbustger ET was a script stolen from famous Indian director Satyajit Ray. One of the latest publicised theft was "Small Soldiers" from Gregory Grant. Now he may be trying to duplicate Soderberg's success with Che by using RED. Spielberg will be the best publicity yet for RED. Now RED is everywhere including big hollywood studios. Congrats Jim.

It's not about what you can sell five months from now. It's about the two years down the road. The shooting resolution has NOTHING to do with the Blu-Ray duplication issues which have already been resolved as the companies are all going to Asian replicators like they have in the past and there are authoring studios that do work exclusively for the adult entertainment industry.The post workflow IS the big issue right now and that will change now that RED, Apple, and Adobe are getting their respective ducks in line.
 
About time!

At the dawn of photography there were tons of beautiful nudes etc. At the dawn of digital cinema, the subject matter is a lot more geeky... sad!

Personally I think 35mm DOF will make for beautiful naked people and all the people saying 4K is not a good medium will be proved dead wrong. If it means makeup, camerawork and lighting needs to be taken to a higher level, great.

If the porn industry buys a ton of Reds, awesome! That's more R&D money for the company to push cinema further. More camera bodies available, etc, etc.

Porn and indie cinema are often allied. Look at Japan in the 70's... that was my girlfriend's thesis anyway ;)

And Joone, I agree, best first post ever!

What I've been saying all along... fully debayered Redcode which is then scaled down, compresses better than anything else except maybe computer graphics.

In other words, RED is the ultimate camera for web and DVD distribution.
