Nice article on Prometheus (the movie)

From Electronic Design Magazine comes a nice behind the scenes look at the hardware and software:

Prometheus Takes Flight With Cutting-Edge VFX Technology
Sometime in the late 21st century, a team of explorers discovers a star map among other ancient alien artifacts. The spaceship Prometheus then embarks on an expedition to find the origins of the human race, leading to the darkest corners of the universe where the crew must battle to save mankind.

Ridley Scott�s long-awaited sci-fi epic hits theaters on June 8. But don�t expect the same special effects you�ve seen in other Hollywood blockbusters since the 3D renaissance began a few years ago. The cutting-edge director and producer tapped a host of new technologies to bring his singular futuristic vision to life.

Behind The Scenes
Scott�s movies, which include sci-fi classics Alien and Blade Runner, always push the envelope in terms of technology, and Prometheus is no different. He shot the film completely in 3D using Red Epic cameras and 3ality Technica�s Atom 3D rigs. It includes more than 1400 3D visual effects (VFX).

Have yet to see Prometheus but looking forward to doing so -- everything I have heard is good. The Red cameras sound amazing -- the company came out of nowhere in 1999 with their first camera being released in 2007. They now lead the market for high-end cinematographic cameras.
