97,662

so, we’ve maintained our current pace and maybe with a little luck we again may turn in a 100,000 viewership total for this thread like with some previous months.

Will we surpass Avatar? ...Before inflation.

Someone else can give it a shot, I'm getting rusty.
If not I'll have another look next month.

I admit, I didn't do that. I was sure the harmonica bluesman was it from the beginning.
Let me have another quick look ... further (thx) ...

Is he the guy on the electric piano (Casio)?

This is the most painful music video I've seen since the birth of dawn.
Was it inside a Legion club tavern from Tomahawk, or Manitowoc County, Wisconsin?

Indeed, good everyone there has a day job…..however it does sound slightly better after several beers - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...b#post16398335

And even with a non-musical income producing job, some of those challenged vocalists and musicians require a sweet deal on a TV in order for them to take the home HDR plunge….



despite their day job. Go figure.

P.S.
I’m still waiting to hear Madeleine (https://www.atsc.org/newsletter/new-...tsc-president/ ) of “The Multicasters” sing or see a video clip of such in ICtCp.



Hey, come to think of it, maybe even a Battle of the Bands at some future SMPTE Technical Conference and Exhibition?

is way less expensive than attending the Produced by Conference on the WB lot - https://www.producedbyconference.com/

although, for those choosing to attend that ^ conference, it does offer insights, e.g. -

or, alternatively, take the family on vacation and stay at one of the Disneyland Resort Hotels (my personal fav is the Grand Californian)

as a bonus, you’ll qualify for a reservation to this -

So, if you don’t have the opportunity to fly a jet trainer (I think even those without 20/15-1 vision should be able to make out the pilot’s name )…



then Smuggler’s Run may be the next best thing –

Complete walkthrough of Millennium Falcon Smugglers Run at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge - YouTube

(it’s interactive in the sense that how well you control the ship determines a bit how long the ride you get)

[avs commenter]

I wonder if Smugglers run is 8K and with HDR?

Also, interesting that a lot of theme park rides are now ditching 3D

__________
102,046 views
woo-who!, so we finished really strong yesterday (4,000+ views), ending with yet another 100,000+ month of viewership as of this morning

congrats to all readers

Answer -
1. Lighting
2. Makeup
3. Production Design
4. Costume Design

along with the filmmakers capturing their imagery with the help of an HDR on-set display for monitoring the production.

and now, there’s more available –

never asked about the video parameters, simply too overwhelmed with the accomplishment in general

[woodspoon]

Penton, have you seen the interview where Jon Hamm mentions that they are shooting Top Gun in 6k? I wonder if the DI will be 4k..

[LordoftheRings]

Without Top Gun: Maverick and Tom I'm not sure we would have made it that far...number of views every month.
So here's to Tom ...

woodspoon , long time no hear….not since one of the few contests offering out $$ as the prize - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...t#post13049089

Yes, I’ve seen it as per Himmel in Source (takes a minute to load on my device, then you have to scroll up from the pic to the top of the page) -

and to be precise either 6054 or 6048k’s

and then a later interview vis-à-vis ~ Bob. The irony is that the reporters seem to be as much/or more interested into asking him about Top Gun: Maverick in 2020 than whatever project Jon is currently promoting.

Anyway, as to your question, yes, unless something unforeseen happens, the DI should be 4K.
