Toronto filmmaker plans to use prosthetic eye camera for documentary

Big Brother is watching — and so is Little Brother.
Toronto filmmaker Rob Spence says he is getting a tiny video camera put inside a prosthetic eye to allow him to secretly film his subjects.

Spence says his goal is twofold: to raise awareness of constant surveillance in society and to get people talking unself-consciously.

Hi Rob:

Very cool. I have been blind in one eye since age 17 and recently became interested in film making about vocational rehabilitation. My story http://www.geocities.com/scrate/1eye.html led me into the Voc Rehab profession. I have also taught sociology and psychology and am very interested in the results you get from your interviews. Please keep me informed of your progress and work

My eye was blinded. Impact disconnected membrane and poof...3 surgeries later and my vision only got worse. Now, all i can tell is that if there's light in the room if i cover my seeing eye. Wanna wing man? Hit me up. I'm imaginative and friendly. lol Yes, I'm a dude.

I was hit in the eye three years ago by a runaway stick, i never got a prosthetic one or anything. i think getting a video camera in replace is a brilliant idea, so keep me informed on your progress please.
