Official: Hot Wheels Camaro to make big debut at Indy

Chevrolet handed over the keys to 33 Hot Wheels Camaro Convertible Indianapolis 500 festival cars this week. Race directors get the luxury of driving the droptops around Indianapolis in an ongoing tradition with roots all the way back to the 1960s. The stunt is supposed to remind area residents that the Indy 500 is right around the corner. The cars are our first look at the special Camaro Hot Wheels Edition in convertible form, and they are slated to head to dealers after a one-time production run. The cars also represent the first time in history full-size Hot Wheels have been offered for sale by an automaker.

The cars will be available in both the previously seen coupe bodystyle and this convertible configuration, and will feature metallic blue paint and special wheels with the iconic redline accent. Buyers will be able to choose between the V6-powered 2LT trim and the V8-powered 2SS guise.

Hot Wheels says the original Custom Camaro toy was one of the original 16 1:64-scale diecasts, and it remains one of the company's most valuable collector items today.

NAB: Cinematographer Dean Cundey Will Join Fujifilm to Debut Its New Color Management Tool

Fujifilm is debuting its new IS-mini color management tool next week at the NAB Show in Las Vegas. Joining the company for the launch will be Dean Cundey, the veteran cinematographer behind such seminal films as Jurassic Park and Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

The IS-mini is a small hardware device that uses 1D or 3D LUTs to convert color information from an HD-SDI input; it has both HD-SDI and HDMI outputs.

This can be used as a stand-alone or together with Fujifilm’s CCBOXX ACES-based image processing system for on-set color management. Users might include directors of photography, digital imaging technicians and colorists. 

Cundey will be a guest at the company's NAB exhibit to talk about the technology as well as his work. His latest project is a film tentatively titled Something Whispered, starring Cuba Gooding Jr. and directed by Peter Cousens.

At NAB, the CCBOXX will be demonstrated with the AJA Ki Pro Mini recording device.
