Prosthetic Eye Camera
From CruchGear: Canadian filmmaker Rob Spence is prepping a video camera hidden in a prosthetic eyeball for an upcoming documentary he’s making about the prevalence of surveillance cameras. Spence lost his eye in a childhood accident and had it removed a few years ago.
He’ll secretly film people while talking to them and then get their permission to be in his film afterwards in an attempt to tackle privacy and surveillance issues as they pertain to society. The camera itself will be the kind normally used for colonoscopies and it’ll transmit the video wirelessly to a storage device. It’s been developed by OmniVision of Santa Clara, California.
The eyeball camera will be in full swing next month. It’ll be the same color as Spence’s working eye and the filmmaker also believes it’ll make for more natural on-camera interviews.
Watch a video about the eyeball camera here. (Caution, not for those squeamish about poking and prodding around the eye.)
E! Online reports that Superbad and Juno star Michael Cera has finally agreed to do the Arrested Development feature film project. Great news! I will definitely check out the movie. This was one of the funniest, most original shows ever and it was canceled way before its time.
Kate Winslet won an Academy Award for Best Actress in The Reader, finally getting a very well-deserved Oscar on her sixth nomination. Here is a video of the moment. Congratulations Kate!!
