LOOM

[Jarred Land]

If you were wearing glasses when you walked insomeone should of asked...if they didn't, then that sucks. That counts as a fail.

[David Mullen ASC]

"Fail" is too strong, more just not thought through. Live and learn, of course, I'm sure it won't happen again. It was a great piece of filmmaking no matter what.

Didn't get out to NAB to see this, but I very badly want to... When is an online version going to be posted?!

On Thursday was there ever a final 4k viewing?

Unfortunately no, but if 2k looked like it did, I can't wait to see what 4k will look like... ;)

I got these new sun glasses that fit over my normal glasses ... brand name is "fitovers" - and they work great . I really need to get something like that for 3d movies, since the free funky plastic glasses you get in the theater never fit correctly. I'd think a lot of people with glasses have problems in the movie theater(some of the theaters have running lights on - all the time, even during the showing, that give off glare on my glasses too).

Aside from the ghosting issues due to polarity/ glasses matching and some possible anomalies that could be attributed to the 8bit color space, I thought it looked pretty darn good. As Jim put it when he introduced it in the theatre on monday morning, the projector was "moving from alpha to beta... today..". I thought color rendition looked really good. Reds, greens and blues showed they could be nicely saturated and vibrant. For a laser device, there was no speckling and the blacks were wonderfully clean. The simultaneous right/left eye 3D is refreshing and even amazing in a projection device aimed at this price point. And it will be 4K simultaneous per eye, too!

I saw a few other little things that I could question, but I won't. It's still in development and I can't wait to see the projector when it's ready to ship and will form a real opinion then. For a system that just entered the beta testing stage, it's very encouraging and exciting. One thing I do question though is RED showing the projector to the masses in this state. While many of us here understand the situation, so many others may not and I hope that Red did not do themselves a disservice by showing early. OTOH, Canon did the same thing with their 4K reference monitors. All of those prototype displays showed issues and were noticeably inconsistent from one unit to the next.

LOOM was great. I hope it can be released.

Its ok, Jarred. A minor wrinkle to learn from. It just struck me as... amusing... that red didnt appear to have glasses-compatible oakley 3d glasses, for obvious historical reasons :-)

BTW, what I forgot to mention about LOOM, was the fact of the appearance of the Atom 3D rig with the EPIC cameras... ;)

What we really sow was of course not the entire rig and cameras as they were rapped in plastic as Giovanni Ribisi moves the entire rig grabbing it by the MB, but the RED PRO LCD was too evident to miss... ;)

Nice touch... ;)
