    for a common person like myself who's not a nerd about this stuff nor a student of film school, I actually understood the terms and the whole vid and everything, yes it took me close to 30min of rewinding and listening back, but HEY! I got it :D
    I actually learned smth new and it was enjoyable.
    Jaron is amazing humble guy, am sure working with him is so much fun and mind-opening. Am gonna check the podcast for sure.
    Ted, thank you for your thoughtful small table explanation for every nerdy term, as to be honest without them i would've been lost, but you made it easier for non pro like myself to watch and feel connected. Also your lil fast-forward scenes whenever Jaron is drawing smth HELLLLOOOW! is smart and genius, it was sooo smooth.
    Oh and I luv your voice tone, so sexy, i could listen to a broadcast of yours for hours! (gotta add my giry touch hihi)
    I hope people realize how crazy big value here that they can get such detailed input from a field expert on youtube for FREE!
    To sum it up, this was an eye-opener, and my first vid, but surely isn't gonna be the last one, and you got yourself a new sub :)
    Keep the beautiful work.
    Bless you.
    Peace.

    These interviews, like this and the guy that did 300, are better than the best in depth cinematography break downs. Real shooters really showing and telling real secrets. This makes the third life of indymogul a real indymogul experience. Beck gave us great DIY fx and prop techniques, Griffin launched a generation of competant and knowledgeable videographers, and these interviews are giving us proper blockbuster knowledge and techniques.

  • @ThirtyMusicGroup30
    @ThirtyMusicGroup30 5 ปีที่แล้ว +21

    Can we get gerald undone to breakdown how film grain actually makes us perceive an image as being sharper?

    • @artsyomni
      @artsyomni 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I think his explanation made sense, albeit maybe it wasn't very comprehensive. Say for instance you're looking at a wall that has an actual grainy texture. Then you took that image and blurred it. That wall texture will no longer feel sharp. The same goes for film grain. We subconsciously perceive that grain as a texture. It's visual information. If you denoise that, you're left with an image that kinda feels like it's blurry, even though it's cleaner and truer to what would be seen through the lens. So even though we may know that the grain is actually just a byproduct of the way the image is filmed and not an actual texture of the subject, the presence of that byproduct texture makes us feel like we're looking at something with more visual information.

    • @Andresvideo
      @Andresvideo 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Look for Steve Yedlin's videos comparing digital images and perceived resolution. Not for beginners, you'd better be interested in the subject or you will be bored! :D

    • @lancelotlink6545
      @lancelotlink6545 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think it has to be about contrast. Bright seems brighter against dark. Sharp feels sharper against grain.

As much as I am not a fan of diaster movies (Also I feel bad for Dwayne Johnson that he is always casted in those movies) it was interesting to hear about how some things were done that could be used in, being a bit blunt and harsh, a better story driven movie besides those disaster movies (I lump any diaster or apolitic movie in that excluding space ones).
