he went to glorious digital saved a ton of money, avoided a bunch of union work l, and then made 3 billy when he was ready to CASH OUT

frame interpolation comes from display manufacturers and can be turned off if you have a working brain. big difference.

what I mean is, both are techniques that can gently caress up the fidelity of the image/audio. Compression is obviously useful in audio but the loudness war has often resulted in some of it just brick walling a limiter, and humans being stupid morons thinking it sounds good.

same deal with the tv store and over-saturating stuff, people think it’s good but it isn’t.

tv processing is still complicated. they try not to over saturate skin tones since humans can see good.

also when you license a track for a movie you get the uncompressed stems and can master it better so maybe it's just a talent thing instead of wanting to hang 3x L3 maximizers in the master bus and getting a beer after work.

Lucas was right that 1080p was better than film because a completely optical workflow for film means you get to barely see 800ish lines of resolution during projection with the best optical practices.

shooting 1080 and digitally projecting digital 1080 gives you 1080 lines.

what non-george-lucas source are you basing that on?

if you’re counting “lines” as a light-dark cycle, like some people do/did when talking about film resolution, then 1080p only has 540 “lines” of resolution.

quote:

almost no theaters had digital projectors in 2002. EP2 was shown in most theaters on 35mm film prints made from the digital master.

I remember reading the specs for a then-high-end digital cinema projector and IIRC its resolution was something like 1024x1024.

a few people who’d gone out of their way to find a theater that was showing EP2 digitally said they could see the pixels because the projector didn’t have enough resolution.

surely something like over-saturation would be the equivalent? Like when people go shopping for TVs and they tune the saturation way up so the sales guy can be like ‘and look at how vivid these colours are’, because people prioritise LOUD over dynamic range.

right but the base video is still totally fine on that content cuz its just some doofus at best buy turning up a control and at worst a tv might require to change a menu option to get it to show the right things again

where a loudness war cd would have the same compressed dynamic range no matter what player you put it in.

what’s the difference? make record louder to sell records, make tvs more ‘colourful’ to sell tvs.

and ofc major video media audio is mastered better, positional audio is actually important, your poo poo is probably on certified hardware, and dynamic range is actually necessary.

master is safe that's all that matters.

yes I bet those 35mm prints also looked better than any 35mm film in a completely optical post workflow.

the loudness war was as much about dumbshit bands wanting their music to sound on the CD the same as on the radio as anything else IIRC. more loudness didn’t mean more sales (for the music).

with motion interpolation and oversaturation introduced by your TV, you can just turn it off or get a better TV. the movie isn’t mastered that way. whereas with audio and the loudness war, if you cared about quality at all, welp, too bad, that’s how the CD was and probably how it was mastered.

for audio, the equivalent of motion smoothing and oversaturation would be systems coming with lovely default EQ presets.

not my fault they decided to artificially inflate their sensor resolution by not having it record data for every channel on every pixel :shrug:

oh yeah that's a nice arri 24mm prime you've got there, allow me to place your £15k glass right here in front of this lovely loving three-way prism. optical aberrations? what the gently caress are those?

and let's hope you never loving drop this thing because if those sensors move half a millimetre out of sync you're going back to the clean room

which you need to fix your camera because there's a stupid loving block of glass in there

all because idiot nerds understand pixel count but not colour science

duuuh, my screen has a red green and blue for every pixel, so should my camera, even though the colour channels correlation 90% of the time and interpolation is perceptually indistinguishable from capture, i think we should have a full loving image sensor for blue pixels

polarisation???? who knows
