  • 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 :)

The Big Mistake...

Not open for further replies.
Personal camera preference is always fine. But posting vague references to unsubstantiated and undocumented "problems" is not cool. If you cite a problem, you should have the camera's serial number (to isolate the hardware), the production it occurred on (to provide background on working conditions), who was operating the camera (to isolate a potential blind spot in training), the specific issue (step by step) and the resulting fix or work around (to expand the available troubleshooting options). IMHO, if the post omits any one of these details, its potentially bogus. This is my standard when reading of them. Prepare to be called out on this, FUDsters.
 
Agree or disagree, my position is firm. 1080P will be looked on as a mistake in the industry. Let's reconvene in a couple of years and see what we all think then.

Anyone remembers 720p?
(except for broadcasters in Europe...) -:)

There aren't too many production lanes open whn you go +2k. It's RED, Phantom (I think) and film.

You must have landed some major distribution solution including content lately...

Which I guess is not too unlikely... -:)

Merry X-mas!

The mistake won't become apparent until there is a 4K release of old stuff. What will be conspicuously missing will be content originated on 1080P. I'll stake whatever little reputation I have on it... mark this post.

I completely agree with you, Jim, however, one must not forget some of the reasons 720p and 1080p were considered for their time, namely bandwidth, workflow, and storage capacity.

Those factors will be considered trivial in the future, but in the late 90's, they were indeed a much bigger factor. :-)

Not compared to film...

Everyone has had their say... and my position has not changed one piece. 1080P is a computer standard, not a cinema standard. 1080P is a mistake, make no mistake about it. Package it and justify it no matter how you will... it is a BIG mistake. The industry could have done better...
