i don't see that this dp provides a link to his film.

Got a link to the film (or a trailer)?

although there is argument that 2k projectors can be replaced with 4k projectors or 8k ones, on the other hand, 2k projectors have been there many years and nobody complains about the lack of resolution on the big screen about the movies shot with 35mm film. seems to me that the current trend of shooting with 35mm or 16mm film rolls is just another way trying to differentiate but does not provide real technical advancements.

larry wants to buy the hollywood? then creates a big ai database like oracle and an universal ai language like java? lol.

No, but it turns out that a lot of our guard rails are imaginary.

It's really weird ...

seems to me that the resolution specs have been saturated long time ago.

seems that he thinks the varicam's 720p is about the same resolution as red one on a 2 k projection.

"I guess I'm making these points to say that, detail wise, 720p is darned close to 1080p. And when shooting a movie almost every frame has some amount of motion blur, making the difference insignificant to the eye, even on a very large theatrical screen. The low light advantage of the 720p chips, and the slow motion capability make these cameras a true rival to any of the 1080p cameras that I saw demonstrated in the ASC camera assessment series last month. And while I wasn't able to compare the 720p Varicam directly to the 4k camera named after a color, I would say that after seeing the ASC tests, the 720p Varicam is about equal to or more detailed than that camera on a 2k projection."

"Recently I had the experience of showing a small movie we shot with the 27H tape based varicam on a very large screen in a multiplex projected through Barco DLP 2k projector. The movie was still a work in progress, and so we played it on my MacBook Pro in quicktime and plugged into the projector as a mirrored computer monitor." The earlier paragraph about the large screen.

Of course not, but here we are again.

Just curious ... should a sitting US president be openly influencing the fate of an entire industry, for his own or his family's personal gains? Will he push or influence regulators and law makers to cancel the business deals of everyone else? I read a report that a huge number of US Legislators own shares in Tech, Pharma, Defence Companies etc. But even by that standard, this seems to be much.

Egalitarianism is a lost cause in the USA. It would be nice to strive to be on the correct side of that spectrum, as we've done since WWII, but I ain't holding my breath. We're back to our Gilded Age mode, which I fear is the default. Maybe with the way info moves these days we'll speed run it and it'll swing back the other way somehow? Then again, I look at too many of my own family members, see how they think, and just kind of know in my gut that none of this ends well.

The line between entertainment and propaganda is shrinking inexorably…

Just came across this written by a dp in 2010: "The film was shot in 720p, mostly using an AJA I/O HD box and recording to a HD in Apple ProRes HQ, though a bit was recorded to tape and a few scenes (mostly in cars) were shot with an HPX170. The camera was set to FilmRec mode and we used the lowest setting that could capture the needed dynamic range of the scene. This was usually Dynamic Level 200%, but higher when necessary. This meant that the uncorrected movie looks a little bit low in contrast and saturation so the Quicktime player was set to slightly increase contrast and saturation. I was a little bit nervous that the 720p image on such a large screen might look a little soft, but it looked amazing! Going next door to glimpse a big Hollywood 35mm print revealed that the 720p digital projection looked as detailed as the 35mm print, and much cleaner and steadier of course. The Varicam projected had much more "life" than the dull 2k DI film print in the next theater (I'm talking about basic image quality, not the cinematography 🙂 )"

Commenting underneath “articles” that have blatantly been “inspired” by discussions here citing the original wouldn’t go amiss either.

Here is some completely unbiased coverage of Scotland’s previous meetings with Brazil.

You are posting tons of good things on this forum, but EOSHD is a website that is paying the price for being a rare voice for honesty in the camera press, and it has upset all the right rumours click-weasels and pathetic social media influencers...

Why not? Tito's channel is excellent.

YT videos ?

Says a man from Spain 😉

Vimeo is in the process of deleting ALL my videos, due to their new policy of deleting their entire library of content for ALL non-current users without an active Pro paid subscription. Also, about 90% of my Vimeo was nurfed by the copyright music shambles, where Vimeo did the 3-strikes thing and they delete your entire account. So to avoid that, back in the day, I just decided to make these videos private, and unlisted. I have not got round to putting it all on YouTube yet, but perhaps I should?
