  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Why 4K?

I get amazed at some of the things that people say on this forum. Would you actually have the balls to look Martin Scorsese in the face and make that statement? Or Steven Speilberg? Or Ridley Scott? Or any other notable director who is living the dream that you and I strive for? Think before you type, because if you're lucky, these people might be your peers someday.

1st, yes i would have the balls.

What do you think how they would react? Would they say, that they dont think Kubrick made something nobody made before?

There is nothing ignorant about this, its ignorant to stay away from an opinion just in case you would/could meet someone.

ridley scotts 1st directional movie was based on paths of glory btw.

in my experience its the other way around, beeing true to yourself is the best....and i never said these three arent dammn good or some similar bullshit, there are many many real good directors out there making really good movies,
the point is i honor perfection (what is perfect to me btw.) when i see it


2nd, i am doing a feature in the $$$$$$$ figures right now...
and i am not striving for someone elses life...i just try to make the movies i see in a way an audience can enjoy.

3rd why so serious? Isnt Coppola the last living director besides terrence malick...hehe

4th this went really offtopic...no problem when the mods delete or move this

5th my favorite director is david fincher, but i wouldnt include him in this list, makes sense? :)

Good thing about 4K is that it will bring the prices of 1080p devices down. :emote_popcorn:

A better thing about 4K is it will make them the SD of tomorrow.
 
Elsie, nice try... but my Malick bots cannot be spoofed.

Anyway, any thread that draws attention to my hero Malick is good with me. :thumbsup:
 
Do you really want all limited liability feature productions buying two or three EPIC's for their one-off productions -- that is going to last a month or two or three -- and then putting them back into the market as used equipment? At some point, the market would be completely flooded with used EPIC's.

Most features are not made by companies making several movies over several years, they are put together temporarily to make a single movie. It's the reason why they rent everything from xerox machines to office space to phones, all the way down the line to lighting equipment, vehicles, cameras, etc. It has very little to do with whether it is cheaper to buy or rent. A lot of it is due to the convenience of closing up shop within a week or two of the production's end and returning all of this stuff as soon as possible. If everything was bought, it could take months to sell all of it off again.

agin you are right, we actually have an office of 12 square meters through the year for writing etc.,
when a movie is financed we start to rent a production office, reheasel room, man we did even rent a second copy machine :)
we finished the 1st block of shooting a couple of days ago, now we edit in our 12 square meter office and write at home.

reason i have a red is that i shoot a lot besides this feature, i mean a lot of spontanious stuff...like music videos, commercials...actually i ran accidantly into a fantasyshop last week...all star wars nerds who really live on the poor side of life, but they love it, i will shoot an internet commercial for free for them.
just for the joy of it.
i will use my red, some litepanels and thats it.

but then again, we made some small reshoots with my red too, crew of 4, didnt need to rent...this was cool.
 
Yes, I've been thinking along those lines -- rent the main cameras but own an EPIC for shooting after hours, or during prep or post, on weekends, B-roll stuff, timelapse, etc. That way you have the freedom to pick up a camera and grab stuff, but you don't have to personally buy a fully-outfitted two-camera package for a feature.
 
"HD is the new SD"... I agree.

HD is so 20th century.... I wasn't around back when 405 line black and white TV was announced, but it was announced as "high definition", as was the 625 line service that followed...

But isn't 5k the new 4k?

Shouldn't this thread be called why 5k? Since we are moments away from setting that as a new standard.
