Meghan Eckman – Parking Lot Movie

Posted by Bryan Bieber on December 5th, 2009 filed in Personal

Last weekend I had the pleasure of operating the RED ONE for the final scene of a documentary by Meghan Eckman entitled, “The Parking Lot Movie”. Meghan Eckman has been working on this documentary for almost 3 years now so it was great that Meghan Eckman had the trust in me to operate the RED ONE for director of photography Eric Hurt. This was only my second time operating the RED ONE and at around 30lbs I have to admit it gets a little heavy after holding it for long periods of time. The body itself weighs 10lbs so with glass and accessories it adds up. It’s just exciting working with the ultra high-definition RAW technology. This picture (left) was shot at a “dutch” angle through the booth. Photo taken by Alexa Miller.

The RED ONE shoots only in RAW and the benefits are amazing because you can manipulate the image in post-production with little to no degradation because all of the meta data is there. I can’t wait to see how the finished product comes out!
