it absolutely does make a difference and its worth doing if you have the time. in my experience feeding youtube the highest quality file in every way possible gets the best end results, based on my testing. straight up 1080p uploads end up soooo soft.......

save us ed

ursa mini 4.6k looks very promising id love to get my hands on some ungraded footage to play around with – is it out there?

lmao omg. funny but also sad. howard said he'd fix it i guess we'll see... poor star wars doesnt have enough screens smh

thank you sooo much ebrahim~!!! i guess im not that confused after all

regarding my vote: i watched jurassic world the other night. MY GOD was it terrible.

"more easily" was what i wanted to hear. ::boom:: thank u

hmm interesting well i appreciate hearing from people who genuinely enjoy 60p footage. ill take that under advisement

thank you rich~!!

here we go again *starts shaking in fear* wait. please... im begging you. im freaking out rn. not being ironic here: > does this mean theoretical lenses which dont exist? with wider apertures than they normally have? talk to me like im 4 years old. i feel like i get this if it means, If lenses on my 35mm ff camera had wider apertures, they could give a medium format look for their respective fields of view again, please help me understand this. why is this so confusing to me?? ive shot medium format film but it was a looong time ago. today i feel like i have a pretty strong handle of sensor size in relation to depth of field in practice, and maybe this is a more theoretical discussion? like an "all things being equal" comparison?? crying rn bc i feel so dumb

its an important discussion for us to have i think that high frame rates suck. ive never watched an implementation of hfr footage that improves the viewing experience for me nowhere: not in feature films, not in sports, not in porn it looks like puke. videoey puke. its disorienting and gross. and its tiring to watch who disagrees? am i wrong? if so, link me to an example of hfr footage being awesome

please share your results~! i wish more ppl were shooting video with the 5dsr. i want to see more from it

lmao p much the true horror of this whole thing is that ppl buy tvs with this motion smoothing/hfr bullshit turned on, and they never know to turn it off, and so they get used to it, and then when I turn it off for them theyre like 'No we liked it better the other way'

i rest my case~! fantastic im glad youre happy

andrew i agree with the premise of your article: this idea of stills/video "convergence" is just hot bullshit. marketing bullshit. ykno.... some say that "COLOR" was actually a pretty sexy marketing term back in the 20th century....... > fun story about "Ks" when ppl come in my office for the first time, and i know them to be somewhat knowledgable about video, my new thing is to have then sit down to watch "SOME 4K VIDEO ON MY NEW TV!" i dim the lights and play some clips. i point out the detail... "Do you see all this? Its so clear!" ppl are always amazed then i tell them that what i said originally was a little misleading... theyre watching 4k video on my 1080p plasma their reaction is always the same...... a gradual, creeping, soul enveloping confusion

tbh i was gonna make an analogy about jarred land and david miscavige but i decided not to

OH MY GOD *vintage* jarred/jim right there

GUYS GUYS GUYS!!!! before you critique too hard remember that this camera is CHEAP ITS SUPER AFFORDABLE LITERALLY FOR EVERYONE ITS #4KFORALL??!!!!! lmao just kidding whats funny is i bet ppl on reduser see this as camera porn theyre prolly going crazy over it rn

so you would say that the 2008 coloring is better than the original?

i agree! i find this to be a fascinating example for several reasons; not the least of which is that the recoloring of this comic, The Killing Joke (1988), was done in 2008 by Brian Bolland, the extremely talented man who did the pencils in the first place – the guy who drew it~! hes no amateur, but he missed the boat here didnt he? to approach this as a black and white page, like a coloring book, i feel that its a natural first instinct to start coloring things the colors that they are, as seen on the right above and below. but our job is to do more with color... like....... an artist lol here, commissioner jim gordon is being driven to insanity by the joker. on the left we see what he feels. the page on the right is clearly unemotional and anemic in comparison now, again, this is a metaphor in more ways than one when it comes to filmmaking, but its a literal point in terms of two dimensional representational imagery

fascinating i did this, and i gotta say, i found the look of the show – including all aspects of art direction which appear on screen – to be completely forgettable and boring i watched several different clips from season one and two and my general critique is that color and lighting are not being used dramatically in terms of storytelling in a lot of the shots dont get me wrong, its clearly technically sound, but its boring but boring in a very pretty, attractive way, which forces you to look at it more than through it – like a window. and this is a disconnect in terms of immersion and suspension of disbelief – storytelling in general it also looks too much like crappy-poo reality, which we all know too well so my assessment is that you would like this show more if color was used in a more meaningful way let me blow your mind with an analogy: which is better? why? more here

indeed. and if nikon and samsung get together and have a color science baby... wow. that could be some camera

you can print them as big as you want. its an aesthetic decision. 300dpi is massive overkill for most printing technology _ but that's a major question, ~how~ are they being printed? photo process? inkjet? etc bottomline you need to make some proofs at different resolution to see what youre satisfied with. 150ppi will likely render more on paper than you think additionally, you can always up-res your frames to whatever ppi you want, which brings me back to my first statement, that you can make them as big as you want. they wont become ~pixelated~ as long as you up-res them, and the filmy character of your camera will shine though more as they grow in scale

hi marco~! my first reaction to those shots was totally positive. saturation is a bit punchy in the latter grabs; i agree with everything Ebrahim said color on that ungraded frame feels good to me, id say that you can play around with it to taste, i did a bit in photoshop with good results you dont need any magic grading voodoo~! thats for cameras that are incapable of producing good color in the first place there are no rules here just do what you like~! i added a bit of contrast and a fair amount of cyan and blue for a more naturalistic look without loosing the warmth of your daughters skin (shes adorable btw)

although we certainly dont agree on everything, i respect the hell out of quentin for what hes doing with this roadshow release. he should be commended for unearthing this unique aesthetic, and pushing it out to the people quentin is not a hipster: a hipster is a poser. quentin is profoundly authentic and exactly what he appears to be: hes one of the preeminent auteur directors of his generation, one who is genuinely obsessed with, and reverent towards, the history and art of cinema
