So Digital Pictures was started by a guy who originally wanted to make B movies in the late 80s. He had directed and filmed some stuff, but then he saw a wave of CD-ROM and Full motion video on the horizon as a form of entertainment. They formed Digital Pictures, and hired some software engineers for his "vision" of interactive movies on CD-ROM.

They decided on the Sega-CD platform to do one of their first home games. (There were things like Dragons Lair that operated in the arcade with LaserDisc, but this was really expensive). The engineer I talked to basically created the first Sega-CD Video codec that could:

  • Stream Audio and Video in under 150Killobytes per second. (SegaCD was only a 1x CD-rom drive)
  • Decode real time in a 12.5mhz 68000
  • Decode in less than 200-300K of memory because you had to have the game logic/graphics/etc loaded at the same time.
  • be a bad enough programmer to code the YVCPOSiest codec u got on less CPU/memory than string cheese.

They did a lot of interesting things like keeping the resolution low, like 120px across, and only encoding the Y channel. which is why a lot of those games were in black and white.

Ultimately the company failed, not due to the fact that they didn't have technical superiority, but people were expecting a lot more from full motion video games. (People were expecting the same quality as television, and it just wasn't possible given the restraints). Also it didn't help that they didn't have any real game designers because they were seeing it as more of a casual thing and less about hardcore gamers.

i owned a sega cd and had the zombie, police, and sewer shark FMV games. they were fuckin terrible but one day on SyFy i caught a legit TV movie made up of the scenes shot for these games. The game worlds were strung together with a terrible plot about plugging into some computer universe which explained why none of the characters from the game world showed up in the lovely parts they shot to cut it all together.

also lem from the Shield go a cameo but then he died (again)

zombie FMV game was funnest also had the best racist rasta stereotype

this show has one guy who underexposed everything, one guy who overexposed, the jib operator who was doing idk what, a slow cam that looks okay, and lots of go pro stuff probably shot by the producer (or maybe the jib guy idk).

the middle ground is not pretty

fun time at work is camera/producer people sticking a gopro at the end of a shaky boom pole, walking down a street with it and then asking me to track the jello-garbage I get back. Yeah, I can replace that rhombus-shaped rectangle with constantly-shifting distortion. Oh, the XD camera you brought on the shoot was set to 1/8 shutter speed to look 'like a movie'? of course that is usable, i never could have replicated that terrible poo poo in after effects, good thing its baked into the source

so would using an FS700 and recording to AVCHD be better for you than shooting on the FS700 but recording to a Black Magic Hyperdeck Shuttle? they do 10-bit 'uncompressed' but I don't know if it is true 10-bit or the fake kind you mentioned earlier.

i mean obviously the shuttle will give you the most to work with, but is it a nightmare to transcode and work with that poo poo?

FS700 SDI out is 8-bpc only

All SDI is 10-bit word, but the data you are recieving is 8-bpc.


what about the liar camera makers saying their hdmi outs are uncompressed, theres no chance in hell of that being true, so what the hell are you even recording with one of those Shuttle/Atmos Ninja things? technically 8 bit but encoded in a massive 10 bit format?

because they probably use a higher resolution for the original file i guess ergo the scaler doesnt have to resize it so dramatically

regardless 1.75 Mbps is kinda low for just about anything, even 720 x 480

apparently u dont know about microsoft silverlight/ its a dream. 1.75mbps is good enough 720p is 1080p

the only things i notice are the instagram filter and the terrible jello effect whenever the camera shakes even a little, like every aerial shot and the ones where the camera is mounted on a car. and for some reason some of the dolly shots, like in the diner.

when the camera sits still, i guess it looks ok, for a phone camera.

yeah its just too bad its a cellphone camera at the end of the day regardless of how far it juts out from the phone body :( even a $60 flip cam has better rolling shutter thn that, andi bet its stabilized in after effects like crazy too. at least that blonde lady got a free music video out of it
