Like desert racers, motion picture cast and crew are good people - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4yevIYrNfA#t=1h7m20s

Q&A: Colorist Society International President Kevin Shaw on AI, HDR, Color Science and Cinematography

Q: HDR is a serious advance in color science. What are the biggest issues facing working colorists just starting to take on jobs that include HDR deliverables?

A: HDR is more than just an advance in color science. It is the biggest change to image aesthetics I can think of. The nearest example is the change from black-and-white to color. It is that different. So the biggest issue is getting that across — helping people to understand this is not just a matter of delivering more pixels, or a different color space. For the colorist, there are several important issues. First, the technical guidelines we have used for television and theatrical projects up to now no longer apply. Second, it’s not enough to simply convert from SDR to HDR or vice versa. The image has to be interpreted to remain conceptually valid while retaining the artistic intent between the two versions. Third, consumer televisions are a long way from our very expensive reference monitors, and our current consumer monitors are likely to look quite lame in only a few years. We have to be aware of the limitations of the pipeline all the way to the viewer. All these things need time and experience to learn, yet we are usually asked to deliver HDR without much appreciation for the extra creative work that needs to be done.

Again, you wanna get into what's right and wrong on the pitch then the Cameroon fiasco will put it all into perspective. Absolute car crash of a game.

Educating continues.
Locally, tomorrow, there will be a Dolby Color Demo & Workflow Discussion –



I have to say that although I’m not watching it in DV at this time, I luv Yellowstone

P.S.
Aby served as one mentor for these east coast colorists in developing their HDR knowledge - https://www.dolby.com/us/en/professi...rlZLAUxxqEkOgQ as well as a host of other folks.

As to Bob, well if you don’t know, in a nutshell, he’s a legend….been leading the way from the beginning….http://www.colorist.org/pipermail/ti...ne/003340.html

Well, I don’t know if I can get a rerun of the Cameroon match over here but I just checked out Phil Neville’s post-match interview and yeah, that does sound really bad in comparison. Still, I felt like Alexi Lalas after the US v. Thailand match - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C--hgPKcP3Q#t=1m30s

Hoping for more grace and sportsmanship all around in future matches.

I would've said the Harrier but I'm a decade too late. Gotta be the F-35.

Article of the day for the non-profit HDR Discussion Journal Club (from Dolby Laboratories) - https://www.researchgate.net/publica..._Visual_Acuity

Public Service Announcement (PSA) of the day given so many of you folks obsess over picture quality which requires good eyesight as I notice on the forum’s main page that we have all the birthday guys today ranging from 20 - 40+ years old.

PSA -
Don’t take your eyes for granted. Get and show up for eye exams at your doctors’ recommended intervals. Glaucoma isn’t an *old person’s disease*, there are types that can strike people commonly in this age group and have no symptoms.
