Pavan Deep Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Some of my Super 16, not sure that I’ve quite got the hang of uploading to Vimeo, as the clips tend to loose quite a bit of sharpness. https://vimeo.com/140026957 https://vimeo.com/139978641 https://vimeo.com/139317066 Pav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Tyler Purcell Posted September 22, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted September 22, 2015 The transfer is odd, looks like a 25fps telecine. I think that's really why the sharpness is missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Brown AIC Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 How old was the film stock ? What was the quality of your telecine ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavan Deep Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 The stock was fresh, I am not sure what the telecine was, I know it was done on a Spirit, I got Pro res file it looks fine on my machine but not as good when I upload it, I'm going to try Youtube.

Robin Brown AIC Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Did you export the footage in h 264 or Prores 422 for the upload? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff L'Heureux Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 As Tyler said, the transfer is odd. The frame rate looks strange. Is it possible that you shot 24fps but the ProRes file is 25fps? As for the sharpness, I'd attribute it more to the lens used than the stock as there is halation around the light sources.

Robin Brown AIC Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Jeff, you're perfectly right. the footage was shot using the old kinoptic 9mm lens that came with the sp-16 and it looks as the 24th frame was probably doubled in the telecine as Tyler said. But the image still feels too foggy along with the strong "halation arround the light sources" you pointed out. i saw it was shot using Fuji stocks which means they aren' t perfectly fresh and if it was captured using the vivid 250d it expains it all ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Tyler Purcell Posted September 22, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted September 22, 2015 If you check out Pav's vimeo page, all of his films have a similar softness to them. My guess is, there's a common thread in there somewhere. I do agree there are some stock issues as well, but even with bad stock, the grain should be crisp.
