Friday Perspective:

4K or whatever resolution (https://home.cinegy.com/index.php/pr...-daniel2-codec ) you fancy, don’t take your vision for granted because like life itself (moment of silence for the people of Nice), it can be fragile….

Friday Follow-up ^
From: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/20...imated-reviews

“If this film has a secret, it dwells in the cinematography—by Vittorio Storaro, no less, who shot ‘The Conformist,’ ‘Last Tango in Paris,’ and ‘Apocalypse Now.’ He worked with Allen on a segment of ‘New York Stories’ (1989), but ‘Café Society’ marks their first full-length collaboration, and the result is ravishing to behold—more so, I think, than any Allen picture since Gordon Willis filmed ‘Manhattan’ in black-and-white. No one has delved more fruitfully than Storaro into the depths of color, exploring its contribution to political and physical extremes, and you could argue that Allen should have summoned him sooner.”

That's interesting that they say it's 4k yet the DCP is 2k. Do you think it's a mistake?

They did the same for Now You See Me 2. From what I can decipher from the American Cinematographer, NYSM2 had a 2k DI:

The final grade was performed at Deluxe's Company 3 in Santa Monica, where Deming and Chu worked with colorist Stephen Nakamura, who — for the standard 2K DCP in P3 color space — employed Blackmagic Design's DaVinci Resolve 12 in a grading theater outfitted with a Barco digital cinema projector. For the HDR version, Nakamura completed a subsequent pass in Resolve 12, again in 2K, in Company 3's Dolby Vision-equipped theater. The colorist and Deming agree that a key challenge during the DI was in matching and integrating visual effects seamlessly into scenes that largely consisted of live-action elements. "But we didn't need to do many radical things to the color palette," Deming says. "For the most part we had decided when we went into the project [which elements] would be more or less saturated. We mainly wanted to keep things natural and realistic — maybe accentuating weather and things, but most of it was art-direction based."

I am a bit late to the party, Penton, but welcome back my friend.

Thanks for posting those Fox specs. Those are mighty impressive indeed.

How many bits do you digitize a film in?

The scan is done in a 16-bit uncompressed workflow. It has limitations in what the scanner can do, but the workflow is done in the widest format possible for mastering.

Ah yeah

Where the heck is PeterTHX when I need him….out playing or watching soccer, fighting the Santa Clarita fire, chasing women?

Not that it’s a 4K flick, but got to ask as it’s beyond my scientific knowledge, but is this dude holding an old Norelco shaver or what? .....

Just here choking on smoke from said fire (the "Sand" fire)...


It's a phaser pistol. I have yet to see anything from Norelco that even resembles this:

That reminds me, I got the latest ASC a few days ago, haven't read it yet though!!

[Penton-Man]

Geoff, you remind me of London <-see hyperlink. Get back there much to family, friends?

[Geoff D]

Occasionally, yeah. I doubled up on my last visit, checking in with family and catching a 15/70 IMAX showing of Batman v Superman. I think I'm starting to acclimatise to life down here though, but then again summer is when this place springs into life, as seaside towns are wont to do. Been a bit of a buzz about the place thanks to the filming for Dunkirk as well.

Where’s dvdmike? mike, unlike others who be ghosts, this Director is available (alive) for the HDR re-grade…. https://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=19501 . Sitting in on a color grading session is peanuts compared to what he endured during the making of the movie…. http://www.nytimes.com/1989/08/06/mo...pagewanted=all , which served as an underwater feature film milestone in no small part to Al Giddings.

Looking forward to seeing this on a UHD disc.

Seems indeed a mistake. No further 4K signs here as well. My local cinema doesn't have a 4K DCP either.

[Penton-Man]

And with that ^ post by Pieter V, I notice that our 4K Movies Releases thread, Curated by these notables -> https://forum.blu-ray.com/misc.php?d...osted&t=189830 has blasted through the 2 and ¾ million viewership barrier in record time. Which merits an appearance by the machine…..
