"Eyeborg" - Canadian filmmaker to shoot with camera in eye
 

This sounds like the coolest hing in film making to come along in a while. I can't wait to see what the footage looks like.

The full story can be found here.

Does it glow red? :D

Hmm...is the whole " secretly record people for a documentary" legal ?

You want to know what the footage looks like? Well, you can simulate it by just walking around watching people. That's pretty much what he'll get. ;)

If he gets anything shocking it's because he's invading people's privacy like in restrooms or what not.

^I just think the whole aspect of the camera moving exactly the way his eye would is kinda cool. It'll be the first truly P.O.V. film.

Re: "Eyeborg" - Canadian filmmaker to shoot with camera in eye
 

That'd be so awesome if it did. That's probably how we'd know if it's recording ;)

Either way, this is going to be a movie I am going to have to see.

Meh, sounds like a gimmick to me.

give him a gun, he has to do a FPS scene

Re: "Eyeborg" - Canadian filmmaker to shoot with camera in eye
 

That's awesome. Yeah, I want to see him run through a life-size version of a 'Doom' level.

Re: "Eyeborg" - Canadian filmmaker to shoot with camera in eye
 

Hope he stops filming while he pees.

Re: "Eyeborg" - Canadian filmmaker to shoot with camera in eye
 

Will it blink?

Cuz that might be annoying.

Re: "Eyeborg" - Canadian filmmaker to shoot with camera in eye
 

^it'll be interesting to see how that shows up on film. A blink is pretty fast though.

Re: "Eyeborg" - Canadian filmmaker to shoot with camera in eye
 

I was looking up the frame rate of colonoscopy cameras like the one he's using (yes, I have nothing better to do) and they generally record at around 60 frames per second, so it would show up, as a blink is about 3 to 4/10ths of a second. Whether it would be particularly noticeable to a person viewing the video though is another matter.

Doing something entirely original is almost always worthwhile, calling it a "gimmick" cheapens it. What is a gimmick but a hook, and when was the last time something was creatively or financially successful without a hook? Hmmm?

I'm not saying it will be an amazing documentary that changes the world, but it will be an interesting perspective and that is always something to be curious about.

Re: "Eyeborg" - Canadian filmmaker to shoot with camera in eye
 

I wonder if it'll be shot at 1080p25 or 1080i50 or 1080p60 or 1080p23.98 or 720p60 or...
