IAFT GOES RED
Cebu, PHILIPPINES (May 19, 2008)
RED Digital Cinema Inc. has delivered the first of a total of five RED Cameras to the International Academy of Film and Television (IAFT), Asia's Premier Film School, making it the first film school in Asia to incorporate the vastly publicized new generation of cameras.

The fully digital camera that uses a new generation "Mysterium" CMOS imaging sensor represents the next generation of cameras for feature films with a resolution of 4k - four times of the current "High Definition" format. It encompasses a totally digital workflow, recording directly on hard drives and solid-state media instead of tape or physical film.

Praised by international directors like Steven Soderbergh (Traffic, Erin Brokovich) or Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings) as "better than shooting on film,” the RED is one of the most awaited products. Students enrolled in IAFT's two-year CRAZY FILMMAKER PROGRAM will have the unique opportunity to work hands-on with an international cinematography mentor on it.

"IAFT is again setting a standard in filmmaking education in Asia by incorporating the Red One into the two-year CRAZY FILMMAKER PROGRAM,” says Caesar Ditan, Executive Director for Sales, Marketing, and Business Development. "This program gives students the opportunity to work on feature films, commercials and TV shows of Bigfoot Entertainment Inc., IAFT's parent company."
