University of British Columbia students created a “LipDub” promotional video for UBC and have raised the ante in the genre of lipdub videos. How many lip dub videos have you seen that feature a unicorn, underwater and aerial scenes and had separate production units for the underwater and aerial scenes?

Watch the video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dpp3quce1Vo&feature=player_embedded

Web site, news stories about the video … UBC LipDub – News.

Update: Not as well known, the UBC – Okanagan campus also released their own school spirit lip dub video. By coincidence it was video taped the same day as students at the larger UBC-Vancouver campus were shooting their video!

Cameras moving to “backside illumination” sensors

Camera market flipping to new sensor technology | Deep Tech – CNET News.

I saw a demo of BSI at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show. BSI enabled decent, low noise photos to be taken in very poor light – such as outdoors at night.

All of the examples I have seen have been in still picture cameras, some of which also take video. I have not yet seen this technology in a “pure video” camera example, but I imagine that will change soon.

Still camera makers seem to be a in race to ever increasing gigapixel cameras, providing a resolution that exceeds that of the lens. I would not mind less resolution with better low light capability. Will that ever happen?
