I assume the issues are related to post processing and converting a 4k master to 2k. I saw similar problems with Ex Machina using the same camera. Both movies I saw in 2k, so it's most likely not the camera. I wonder if Claudio Miranda uses a similar shutter angle because Oblivion had similar motion blur issues.

 

Hmm… it's interesting for sure. That's just how nit picky I am! LOL :D

Also you might have seen Tomorrowland on a 2K projector, but the film was distributed in 4k to theaters.

Hey everyone, just thought I'd mention this interesting development.

I work in projection and when I received the trailers for Tomorrowland I found it interesting that it did not fill the scope frame, instead being shown cropped to 2.20:1.

In fact I just received the film and I find out that it must be shown like this. The first modern film to be shown in this format. Not only that after setting it up you can enter a contest as a projectionist if you set it up properly. Very interested to see if this is a new trend, as I cannot see Regal being exact in their projection of this film, instead they will just run it in flat.

What do you think of the new format? Personally I feel it is the perfect framing, not to wide or tall, about perfect for my eyes. However there is no natural way to capture this aspect ratio besides cropping the final image for most cameras so it's a bit of an acquisition nightmare.

Those are still excellent lenses, and worth more than 8,000 for the set.

I loved his work on The Fellowship of the Ring and admired his ambition on the Hobbit films, being one of the first to attempt 48 fps. Very sad to see him pass before his time.
