Well carrying on with my discussion of photography from the last blog post, I have been reading a magazine article about "Still + Motion" movement that is coming around in the digital photography world.
The concept is to utilize a DSLR or high grade video camera to extract quality, high resolution still images for photographs from the subjects being "filmed" or recorded. Tagging the phrase on the product page "THE GAME IS CHANGING", the article in some regards discusses the notion of the merger of still + motion photography, but mainly seems to be pushing a product, the camera the RED Epic.
The intriguing idea of the ability to pull ruffly 13.8-megapixel images from a 5k motion recording from the RED Epic is interesting, though it almost seems to me like continuous shutter movements, or frame rate. The technique is something I do find interesting, though with in the ideals of processes and skill, the subject must move since it is motion, yet at a rate that is slower than normal. This allows for sharp detailed still images to be pulled from the motion captured with out blur.
The technique interesting, and the idea or practice seems to have some definite creative outlets to be explored, though a game changer in the area of completely getting rid of DSRL cameras like digital supposedly did to film cameras, no. The possibility is not even close for a real reason really the cost of the equipment. Plus just as there are film photographers and photography still going on today in a big way, the game is not changing just getting new players.
