Yeah, it's thoughtless racking that gets to me. -
Hateful Eight Experience
cole t parzenn replied to Tyler Purcell's topic in On Screen / Reviews & Observations
Gah! What I really hate is when focus starts on the far actor, so that the near actor is on the edge of acceptable focus and you don't notice that they're soft until they're racked to, after which focus becomes ridiculously distracting. Either put everyone in focus or open up enough for proper separation! /rant, carry on... -
It seems very uneconomical but it's a bigger increase in negative area over S16 than S35 is over R35. (9*9*1.78)/(12.52*12.52/1.78)=1.637

I wouldn't count on PTA returning to large format; he shot "The Master" in 65mm, because it served the story, just like he shot "Inherent Vice" in 35mm with a fast stock, because it served the story. -

More than his other films? Richardson is the one cinematographer that can make me not care about lighting motivation. -
Extension tubes on anamorphic lenses?

What about diopters? -
"The Tree of Life" is pretty much the parody pretentious art-house film about everything and nothing seen in the background of television shows. But it's also a **(obscenity removed)** masterpiece - Malick's a legend for a reason and I'll be making a point of seeing this. Kubrick also kept editing after the initial showings.

Shooting outdoors without NDs

What did you do and how did it turn out? -
What's the difference between the F65/Super CCD's turning a 2x target resolution sensor 45 degrees and the Alexa's using an unrotated 2x target resolution sensor? Speaking of oversampling, does anyone know of a production windowboxing 5.6K in the Red, to be posted the same as ARRIRAW, for 4K delivery?

Wasn't "Barry Lyndon" also push processed?

Star Wars Episode 7
cole t parzenn replied to Giray Izcan's topic in In Production / Behind the Scenes
May I take a moment to defend George Lucas? poop on his writing all you want but he's about as good as any other director at creating the illusion that the world of the film extends beyond the framelines. Carry on hating JJ and 2K. I watched the first ten minutes of each of his shitty action movies with Star Trek trademarks thrown in - that was enough JJ, for one lifetime. -
"2001" behind-the-scenes photos
cole t parzenn replied to David Mullen ASC's topic in On Screen / Reviews & Observations
Re: time, according to Douglas Trumbull, "2001" is unfinished; Kubrick just wrote and shot and wrote and shot until he ran out of money. -
This year, meaning the most recent season or the upcoming season?

According to IMDB, "Orange Is the New Black" is 1080p Alexa. It looks like the Alexa to me, FWIW.

The record store shot is one of few that I'd say are conspicuously wide angled - that the focal length was a mere 9.8mm is kind of my point! How is "bugeye" different than "fisheye?" Here are a few distorted non-POV shots with lots of straight lines. Some shots in and around the pod bay are also distorted and have straight lines: I've only seen references to "2001" using Panavision lenses. Changing to a relatively long lens for close ups probably accounts for some of the difference between his look and that of a film like "The Tree of Life" but there seems to be more going on.

I don't seem to be the only person to have mistaken his use of wide angle lenses for deep focus. Now that I know to look for wide angle effects, it's as though I see a new fisheye shot, each time I watch "2001." "Eyes Wide Shut" and "The Tree of Life" were shot with similar focal lengths, according to "American Cinematographer," but I have to watch carefully to see just how wide EWS is, while obvious wide angle effects are a defining characteristic of TToL's look. The minimal apparent depth distortion can be (at least partly) explained by Kubrick's tendency to match actor and camera blocking and symmetrical composition but that's as far as I've gotten.

Are you able to shoot at 72 fps? You should be able to fake 24/180 by shooting 72/180, interpolating the "missing" frames, and blending a real-interpolated-real frame sandwich, then skipping the next three frames (interpolated-real-interpolated). In theory.

new Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation
cole t parzenn replied to dio zafi's topic in On Screen / Reviews & Observations
"Interstellar" interiors were 500 ASA and T2-2.8, right? Was there enough light for the humans to see? ;) On the topic of what resolution film should be scanned at, is digital having different resolutions for each angle to the frame edges (i.e., being grid-based) taken into account? You sometimes hear mention of the nyquist limit but only at the angles at which digital has the highest resolution, anyway. -
Remake of Ben Hur.

The 1959 "Ben Hur" is the third "Ben Hur." Well, the third "Ben Hur" film - the original "Ben Hur" is a book. -

Ha! They are! Re: Willis, I'd've included something from "Stardust Memories." That film deserves more attention.
