you have articulated my thoughts better than I could my friend Jon hahah

yes you're right they did prints of the film in many formats So now they're all talking about WHO will be the next Bond and talk is that it's going to be an 'origin' story and have a young actor. We shall see what they do.

Gautam, we shall see what they come up with, the Bond fan base demands certain standards. I am positive Kodak film will be used. They did 'film outs' for Dune for artistic reasons. My guess is he will employ Creig Fraser who shot Star Wars Rogue One on celluloid conforming to the traditional look of Star Wars. Yes, as usual, I am here boring everyone with the same obsession with film haha.

What you all think? For me, has to be shot on Kodak to keep the look and tradition. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn41yddj4m1o

What a beautifully shot film.....opening shots.....wow...anyone care to talk about this film?

No problem.....thanks for the information everyone.....

f*ck me i forgot what I asked in the first place hahaha

Hey @Jon O'Brien the sharpening thing worked for sure thanks for that!!!!

Hi all, thanks for your messages. Jon, I'm gonna try what you suggested out! Just uploading to my YouTube to compare with the previous upload of the same. Brian, had not heard of Filmfreeway, will check it out. Daniel, uploading as 2K haha, right in the middle.

Gimmick or not who cares, VistaVision logo appearing on the front was superb and love it all.....

Hello everyone. Need to export a short film that they want in MP4 format for a competition I am entering. It's all shot on film, with ProRes 4444 cineonlog footage. No problem exporting etc as ProRes etc but I get smudgy results with the MP4 format they want for the competition. I was hoping someone could tell me what are the best export options for MP4 that will retain the grain and colour etc of my piece. Thanks in advance.

Congratulations to this film for its achievements......have heard many good interviews etc with Lol Crawley, Oscar winner.

In my experience with Gibraltar airport and believe it or not Royal Gibraltar Post, they both go through safely in the hand luggage x-ray machine. As we all know the one in the hold WILL mess up our film. I dont know the brand we have over here. How about you message the manufacturer https://www.rapiscansystems.com/en/products/rapiscan-620dv

Release date already too:]

Totally agree Uli

I'm reading THE ILLIAD as we speak...I'm really enjoying it.....next up will be THE ODYSSEY BTW the Troy film was quite faithful to Homer's The Illiad. I really rate it highly. The director took the decision to do away with the 'intervention' of the 'Gods' we read in the book e.g. when Paris (Orlando Bloom) is saved from death by the goddess Aphrodite when he is fighting Menelaus over Helen of Troy.....then of course the film gives us the impression it was a much shorter set of battles not the 10 year long siege war it was.....but it got all the relationships nicely, aside from the Achilles / Patroclus relationship which has been debated for centuries. In the film he is his 'cousin' - some say his 'romantic partner'.

Spoke to him on the phone literally 5 mins ago!!! so glad to hear his voice....gonna get some adapters from him!!!! email him as usual: les@lesbosher.co.uk

...this time a gimmick film wont take it from you

Congratulations @Jarin Blaschke for the Oscar nomination...again! well deserved for magnificent cinematography unmatched by any of the other films!

Hi all, anyone have experience / comments to make about the Cooke Kinetals (25mm; 17.5mm; 12.5mm) for use with Aaton XTR XC camera using Vision3 / Double X stock. Thanks in advance!
