- July 2008 - Raymond Red worked on a commissioned experimental short for
a special major July 25 event, the BENCH BLACKOUT Denim and Underwear
Fashion Show. It was presented as a video wall backdrop for a special
fashion show segment featuring Red as an artist and filmmaker. Inspired
by the early motion studies of photographer Edweard Muybridge in the
1800s, Red hired 2 male and 2 female models and shot them on HD video,
later processing the images to simulate the animated freeze-frame
stills. All the digital color grading, texturing, layering, and
animation were done at Dave Hukom's IGNITE MEDIA Digital post-house.
The short may be released in the future on DVD by BENCH.

- Red is in planning for a follow-up to his successful KAMERA OBSKURA exhibition in 2007 at the NCCA (Nat'l Commission for Culture and Arts) Museum. A more ambitious approach is being planned. Several actual Camera Obscura rooms will be set-up in different locations as well as possibly having a travelling Camera Obscura Van. Watchout for it.
