  • 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 :)

Blade Runner 2048

Found a 1.63GB QT ProRes 4:2:2 version available on vimeo ~

Night&Day compared with the YT compress.

Sublime.

Oh and 4 hours ago Mr Deakins posted this "We did not use the Alexa 65 and we finished shooting about four weeks ago", here ~

So were they just using Arri Alexa XT Studios? Or what?
 
Guess so...

Stumbled across original script copy at 'last book store' the other day and wonder if they will open up the alternate ending and dekard is a replicant variations
why not 70mm film? or Panavision / Weapon VistaVision?
Anyway, hope it lives up to the expectations

More from RD on this 'announcement' ~

"Yes, I timed the trailer for BR as well as for 'Skyfall'. That is not always the case. And yes, the film will be finished with a 4K DI."

~ touched by the hand of Rog.

:drool:
 
funny how many are using the Leica's now, I'm sure that can be traced back to gone girl. I really cant remember seeing them in much use before that film
 
I have seen trailers for both Rogue One and BR2049. Both look great. I don't like some aspects of anamorphic lenses, such as the apologising for unacceptable aberrations like distortion and edge softness. I wrote a post entitled 'Contra Anamorphic' and I have to say that I changed my mind, at least in theory. But that is for another time.

The photography in Rogue One is superb, IMHO. I don't like the fact that the blind old man from Kung-Fu is in that film, though. I think Hollywood people need to be more like George Costanza: do the opposite. Still, Felicity Jones is incredibly pretty.
 
And yes, the film will be finished with a 4K DI

Alexa XT and 4K finish, okay. Makes rather more sense in open gate + ana scenario, but Roger knows best. At least it's not gonna be 2K release again, which is good news.
 
There's no real reason to shoot Open Gate + Anamorphic since Open Gate mainly just uses a wider area that is 1.5 : 1 -- and all you use for 2X anamorphic is a 1.2 : 1 area.

Sorry, I meant full 4:3 sensor. Open Gate is indeed wider.
