I’ve had someone contact me from Apple based on what was written in a post on this forum….

Mindhunter looks like a fantastic series. Red created some special xenomorph cameras for David fincher to use that looked like nothing they’ve ever made before and sat like shoulder mount ENG models. Interesting workflow that seems to have evolved from the gone girl and social network films that he made.

Unless you’ve got the appropriate release forms, permissions and paid the correct fees for shooting in Piccadilly Circus (presuming this is where it is), you cannot use it for commercial projects.
The city of London manages their real estate very efficiently and aggressively. Check first otherwise you could end up putting your name to something that is not worth the effort.

Yeah I thought that might happen. The OZO gives fantastically average image quality and needs the use of the proprietary software to deliver actual VR rather than 360. My money is on blackmagic to deliver a rig with some cameras and a sync box that does it all in the next year.
Great work on the Epcot project Oliver. I can remember watching it for the first time in 1999 and being captivated.

When lucasfilm started their pioneering work in the first steps of computer graphics and digital video, the accepted resolution that they wanted to hit to match a 35mm film print was roughly a minimum of 4000 by 2000 pixels. (Droidmaker is a hell of a book)
35mm film does at the very least equate to more than 2K in horizontal resolution. Although 65mm is in the minority, 35mm has and always will be the standard for film. My point still remains – if 16 or super 16 had been adequate, why did DPs push to 35 and beyond.
The new arri 65 is stunning. The epic monstro is beautiful. Change is good! It keeps everyone busy!

You are missing my point. Of course the 6K figure relates to horizontal resolution but if a 35mm print is scanned the resulting image at a similar density would be around 6K in horizontal resolution.
My point is that if the 1 or 2k digital print has always been good enough then why would anyone ever film at higher than that if the human eye can’t see a difference in quality in the projected print.
In film terms, projectors could and still can, project a 35mm print. Many directors still want to use this format and even higher (Nolan with Dunkirk, Tarantino with hateful eight). The quest for bigger and more in terms of film, went from 8mm to 65mm and is doing the same in digital.

The chase for more resolution and scale isn’t a new thing – 35mm equates to around 6K, and any director wanting to make a picture that looks good when projected wants that resolution. Anything shot on 65mm looks awesome, that is close to 12k.
