「footage shot by BMW*」 *Mercedes-Benz Too bad they don’t credit the soundtrack. I wonder how heavy these hypothetically ubiquitous HDVS monitors would have been. Amazing video, both at face value and for unintentional comedy.
thank you for the uploads, these are all really incredible to see. are you able to upload or make available for download the raw uncompressed video captures anywhere? youtube compression can really do a number on some parts and id love to see these vids in even higher quality, if at all possible
Fantastic piece of Sony history! Darker areas seem to be crushed to black, and color saturation seems a bit high. Is this just how the disc was recorded?
I appreciate these very much! However, you may want to check your recording levels next time, as the blacks are clearly crushed in this presentation. In Japan, they used a black level of 0 IRE, unlike the 7.5 IRE used in North America. I'm guessing you captured assuming 7.5 IRE, which explains why the blacks are crushed.
I remember when we where shooting this in 2013. It took a lot of care and money to get everything to look as authentic as possible. We used a lot of prosthetic makeup on all the actors. I remember there was a big discussion in the team, about how realistic the VFX portrayed at 5:21 was supposed to be, because they didn't want to break the illusion, but also didn't wanna make it look stupid. They shut that whole office building at the beginning down and redressed it, to look like that. Had to hide all the modern cars in the background for the outside scenes and all the city footage of Paris was stock, that we tried to upscale and match with the rest of the footage. I think we kind of succeeded, because no one ever noticed. That's the weird uncle of the director at 4:51 btw.
I love the look of old analog HD video. It lacks the over-processed digital look of noise reduction common to modern video.
There’s an odd warmth to it that I just love.
i cant believe that any other person in the world besides me would want to watch this. namaste, friends.
Could you do a video on the 12" HDVS videodisc itself, and the equipment used to record / playback - showing the actual items?
Really Interesting Vlogs
This would be fascinating to learn more about. Especially how this was done on location.
This is greatest hdtv in early 1990s series this is amazing quality in hdvs!

Future is here tomorrow now yesterday 31 years ago.
I love this. Thank you for taking the time to record it and putting it online!
It's amazing how far HD video technology has come in 30 years: from bulky, super-expensive professional monitors to being in everyone's pocket 😄
Hdm-3830, classic

Yes, unfortunately.
Amazing, thank you!
Yeah HDVS will help me sell more burgers For sure
Sony in Japan did their best technology to upscale video image resolution into High Definition Quality.

Unfortunately, that's how it is on the disc (triple-checked). It may have been a test pressing.
@@ReelyInteresting Thanks for checking. (Had to mention it, as not a lot of people understand IRE.)
The 3D HDVS disc video is nowhere to be found. :(
Sony Dadc, master of ROT medias :( :(
Masters of masters: sony
They came with subtitles? Or is it youtube-generated?
