Can you make a video how Denis Villenueve and Greig Fraser work together on Dune by transferring the image into 35mm and back to digital? I'm very curious how they done it in technical terms
Truthfully that just sounds like a super convoluted and high-budget way of applying the softest of post-filters. I can only imagine something like this happens as a reluctant compromise between several people (DP, Director, Producers, Studio heads) where everyone feels like they got their way, but also feels a little silly afterwards when thinking about it...
It's been done before countless times ever since the dawn of CGI. But this was the only time when it didn't make sense because the scan doesn't look like film at all and was a total fail.
It’s really hard to find more information on that than what you already now. I can’t even find whether they printed onto print or camera stock. Maybe he could ask Fotokem for some insights. Would also like to know how they handled the different aspect ratios of the movie on the transfer.
@kyle Well basically in european movies, due to budget and time I believe., they do use mostly the original sound and dialogues that were recorder on set, during the shooting. In Europe they don't re record it to lip sync as it's been already recorder. The only thing they do is retouch the sound and clean it as good as they can in post.
Another good idea for a future video would be an analysis of the cinematography of The Sopranos. It's my understanding that it was one of the few TV shows to be shot on celluloid instead of either television or digital cameras, which partly explains why virtually every episode has the look and feel more of a Hollywood feature film than a television series. I wonder if that may have been just another reason why it was and remains to this day such a phenomenal and influential series. In any case, I am sure there is a wealth of information there you could share with us!
Unfortunately you didn’t mention that there are only a few IMAX cameras available worldwide. And one was destroyed during the production of The Dark Knight 🤣
great video as usual. i suggest to make a video about the most underrated lenses or camera, like the lomo illumina lenses for exemple. keep going on this channel, i really appreciate your job
GREAT video and edit! CAN YOU PLEASE create a video on how to film sidecar/vehicle shots like the examples in this video at 3:25 - 3:33? Other examples of these types of shots are in the new Star Wars films 7 - 9 (On the side of the X-Wing and etc.) and in Interstellar (Side of the rocket and his starship). Maybe the video could explain what type of camera and film to use, what type of mounting/rig you would need, and how to work this focus for this type of shot? Would love to see how we could do this on a low cost budget via maybe DLSR cameras? You have one of my favorite channels on TH-cam and I watching your video and learning something new about film/cinema in each video :) Thanks for everything you do! - Cameron
@@dre400 No they don’t. They state that 65mm 15 perf film has a resolution up to 18K, but that does not refer to scanning resolution. It refers to maximum resolution down to the grain level on the film negative. Pretty much the only way to achieve that is to directly print the negative onto print stock. Entirely photochemically. And you loose a few Ks because of the print stock. Probably the only film that can actually achieve something close to 18K would be Kodak Vision 3 50 ISO daylight film. The rest is at around 12K. 200T might be more. 12K sound right to me for a photochemical print like Nolan does them.
@@VariTimo take 16K for instance, with a 15360 x 8640 resolution it’s equivalent to 132megapixels. A photo shot on 6x7 medium format (6x7cm compared to 5,2x7cm) can be scanned up to 300 megapixels, scanned directly from the negative.
Could you talk about the panasonic varicam 35 or lt? Before the alexa mini/lf and venice, it seemed to be a popular choice for netflix besides the reds but after the alexa mini/lf and venice I haven't heard anything about it so if you could cover it, I think it would be very interesting.
Modern camera can give you all that look for much cheaper and easier. Focus pullers, huge rigs and film feels like stone age. We like to romanticise that style of shooting, but they really have next to 0 practical reasons for existance (except in museums and history books).
@@adokapo just near enough but its still looks modern and too videotic .Film are too crisp and rich and thick.Just watch the video clip intro of classic The Italian Job
@@SuperSy99 Sharpness of film depending mostly of lenses used and film stock. If you are referring to remastered digital formats then it depends on scanner and postprocessing too. Digital cameras in their infancy used very small sensors and inferior tape media because we didn't knew/could any better, but now days we use large sensors and RAW that allows both shallower dof and uncompromised image quality. Don't get me wrong i shoot film and vhs rather then putting digital overlays. All media have their authentic look and feel but objectively those are obscured formats with good reason.
Very complex stuff, trying to understand it as I have a hard time focusing because of my learning disabilities and low I.Q. Need to go to film school but because of my low I.Q. and failing and not completing high school I have a difficult time trying to get in one and being 40 yrs old I feel it's too late for me.

Talk to Jaime at Gotham Photochemical in Los Angeles. He's your guy. It's the coolest.
your videos are pure internet gold! please keep the good work for as long as you can !
You forgot another major downside to shooting with an iMax camera.. they’re LOUD. Which means you’re gonna need to ADR the entire film.
is that really what they did in the dark knight and all those nolan movies?
@@Tom-jj6jj Yep. But to be fair, most studio movies are completely ADR’ed now a days anyway. They just do it so well that you can’t tell.
@@RyanAnthonyDigitalMedia wow, that's insane. i had no idea
european movies are very seldomly ADR'd. This is why their original sound sounds mostly really bad. Nowadays even worse than 20 years ago.

Love all the specs about ARRI Amira, can’t have to use one someday
Whenever you do another part of this series, I would love your thoughts on the panaflex system 65 studio camera
If you have a legit 70mm IMAX theater it's so nice.....just wait for the next Christopher Nolan film to see it used to its fullest capabilities.
Love how all the footage from the IMAX section were from Christopher Nolan films.

Please explain about prefs in reel , also about
Arri 435 extreme , phantom 65mm camera, phantomflex 4k camera
Loved this video! Keep it up you’re doing a great job 👏🏻!
why only 6 imax cameras exist in the world? The imax distributors make it seem like alien technologie.
Awesome video mate, loved the information and effort you put into your videos much love
6:21 sounds like you about to start singing.
the very last modern 35mm camera by Arri is actually the Arriflex 235
Please do one with only the Alexa Family! Like the XT and all the licenses! There is no video online that does a breakdown of that! thanks in advance!
More on Analog cameras, pls!
I always like your work. I wish I could take this channel to 1million+ subscribers. Love from Nepal❤️
I still don't understand how they eliminate background noises captured during filming from final footage... Can u explain please?
Christopher Doyle needs some love
He actually already made a video on him: th-cam.com/video/TkmzTRF3aWM/w-d-xo.html
These videos are so good!
What about the Panasonic Varicam and EVA1?
Please make one about DSLR, Mirrorless and other cameras.
but why? there are plenty of other channels covering them.
65mm 15perf IMAX film get usual scanned at around 8K, but there are 11K scanners out there.
such a shame that cinema projectors are only 4k :(
@@nedboase7909 liemax screens are 4k tho. Only the biggest ones have film projectors and there aren't many.

This was adresssed in part 2 of the series
@@TehMr No it wasn't, I think you're getting that confused with the panavison xl2 that was covered in that video.
ARRI SXT, HS, XT and ARRI ARRIFLEX SR2
could you make a video on all the filmstocks and thair character?
Panosonic varicam and Eva please!
When a youtuber is more valuable than a whole University department
amazing vids. keep it up
No love for the F55 or the Varicam LT yet?
Is the Sony A7S III better than Panasonic EVA1? In terms of images rendered and dynamic range? (Sony is full frame and EVA1 is super35).
What lenses are high end music videos using ?
If one wants to setup a IMAX 70mm theatres in any country what will be the cost ?
Imax 65mm can be described as medium format?

i think you are not a RED fan hehe

How much does each camera cost? I got a feeling that I can buy it. Let me check my bank account first.
