Bogus metric. The DR on Alexa leaves Red in the dust, and you don't need a 16K supercooled projector to notice it. It's in nearly every realworld use. That's why a lot of people prefer Alexa: 14.3...

Okay - So in Silver Linings:

"35 mm (anamorphic) (Kodak Vision 2383)
D-Cinema"

The film prints need a 2x projector lens, but D Cinema doesn't?

This has no bearing on the lenses used to...

David -- Anamorphic finish? What is it and how does it work?

I've seen this on IMDB twice now (Amelie and Silver Linings Playbook). They shoot spherical lenses but somehow print the final...

I was scared off by the bad reviews, and I don't particularly like Tom Hanks.

I may watch it, but I highly doubt it's going to hold a candle to Life of Pi.

Feel weird throwing some love into the hate fest, but how many here agreeing with Doyle have actually WATCHED The Life of Pi?

"I may be wrong, because I haven’t seen the film, because I don’t give...

You may also look into the film LUTS (Kodak 2393) that were discussed recently.

David, Dennis and Lorenzo -- thanks for all the wonderful info.

Anyone used the BMC cam yet?

Hi David,

I’m wondering about middle gray, the 18% card thing. Can you elaborate on how this affects your exposure decisions?

Perhaps 18% is what the middle gray value would be when...

NEW ONE / 10pp

Bad Romance (short) – A young naïve waitress is attracted to the wrong customer.

Set in one restaurant location, three characters, some extras.

I usually end up devil's advocate with a slightly different perspective on things. That's why I'm a writer.

About ten years ago, my wife's cousin did her own personal Kickstarter type pitch,...

From what I've seen, I prefer the look of BMC to Scarlet. I like 16mm, and have no problem with smaller sensors. This large sensor obsession is a bit tired. Moonrise Kingdom, Black Swan and The...

" If I were to do a, say, 10 minute continuous shot, of a husband and wife talking in a hotel room, with her in the bathroom, and him in the bedroom, then getting up, getting the wifi password from a...

" As to the BMCC being more "cinematic". Sure, if David Mullen or Don McAlpine is shooting with it. Probably.

Sorry it's just such a silly statement."


You really want to go there? So...

We're not living in a computer simulation. We are living in an ocean of propaganda. It's a political "matrix" not a computer matrix.

The physicists should use their grant money to study more...

Jumping on the bandwagon...

DEATHPLEX
(8pp), Experimental Horror
In real time, POV inside a theater, sure to unease theater audiences, some unspeakable horror. Has a slight Cabin in the Woods...

The BMC sensor feels more like film and has better highlight rolloff than Scarlet. I like the images better, and they look more like cinema, whereas the Reds always look more like video to me. I...

" ...numbered in the millions, who lost their lives at the hands of the genocidal Communist Khmer Rouge Party"

Interesting that no one disputes that between 2 and 3 million Vietnamese lost their...

The visual difference between SD video and HD film transfer is huge.

The difference between HD and 4K -- both with similar dynamic range and capture technology -- is not huge.

I'm sure the...

So no one is bothered by blatantly fascist characters and storylines?

Is that where we're at? The new normal.

"d) human texture and color (Arri modeled their sensor off Vision 3, Red repurposed an industrial sensor)"

The look is more pleasing, and perhaps this explains it. I happen to think the...

Might as well add that 16k is the only format I'm willing to sit through.

Seriously--

I've seen many thousands of films.

I have never, ever seen a 4K projected film in my entire life. ...

So I guess we should all work for murderous dictator's because that's where the money is? And if anyone points out that reality, they're the real murderers? Yeah okay. Keep on with that line of...

"It has higher dynamic range? I thought Scarlet/Epic was 13.5 and BM was 13."

The last I heard, the MX sensor tested at 11.9 stops:
...

"As it is not sure why I'd even look at it.."

Because it has higher dynamic range than your scarlet and/or epic without HDRx on. Because it's undeniably a value for the money, and because the...
