Movies- Film vs video

I'm kinda torn. Film to me gives a movie a more authentic look. Video looks to crisp at times and now with HD it gives strange color that I don't think adds to the overall movie.

It's almost like cd's for music. Sure you got more room to add songs but that compression sucks the ambience out of the song. Yeah vinyl is the daddy but I understand the need for portability.

Some tech is just not as good as some old stuff.

I think that if HD video were around when Hitchcock was making movies, he would have used it.

You don't hear about many people wanting to shoot in 16mm instead of 35mm...

I appreciate directors who can make the mechanics of film, or the process used, work for them in telling their story. You used to be able to get away with a lot of things with film that you can't using video - but you can fix it all in post with video a lot easier.

Lord of the Rings is a great hybrid example of a movie that uses both technologies - shot on film, transferred to HD video for post (digital grading of environments a big part of that) and then back to film. The movie looks great and was put together with care.

Crap like Transformers is just hack directed, with lots of geeks sticking lots of cool stuff on the screen so you don't care. LOTR, for the most part, used the effects to enhance the story and draw you into the characters (although there were a few scenes that were quite over the top) - for example, the Rohirrim getting ready for their charge against the Orcs at Minas Tirith.

Legolas against the Oilphaunt was just retarded.

And yeah, nothing like HD sports - when they do closeups. I find that when for example, they show the whole line of scrimmage, the sampling seems to make people look a lot fuzzier than when the camera focuses on a single person.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      These arguments are getting more and more disingenuous from both the pro and anti Bryce crowd. Bryce looked very good for stretches down the final 8 games. He finally showed glimpses of the guy that was projected as a top QB pick in the draft. Bryce also didn't look like a top 10 NFL QB.  I think we are so far removed from Prime Cam that we forget what an elite QB looks like. I could tell that when people were losing their minds and simping for Sam Darnold. This season needs to finally showcase Bryce as a franchise talent. If that doesn't happen, it's time to pivot. There are very few recent examples of QB's struggling or being a mixed bag through the first three seasons of starting and then suddenly becoming frachise caliber players.

      Are you arguing that his height deficiencies and footwork within the pocket have not been a present issue clearly seen on his game tape particularly in the games he struggled in? Because that's simply denying what everyone in this fanbase who have watched the games have seen. It's interesting how hardline BY fans here quickly and effortlessly pivot from whailing about being victimized to becoming the aggressor and hurling out allegations of bias and hatred. And at the end of the day while Bryce Young clearly improved significantly from the first two games of the season the reality of the situation is he still finished 42nd in yards per pass attempt behind Mac Jones and tied with Caleb Williams and 38th in passing yards per game behind the likes of Gardner Minshew Aidan O'Connell Drake Maye and Will Levis. Furthermore it took Bryce Young 23 games to surpass Panthers legend Kyle Allen's 13 games worth of passing yardage in 2019. So if your argument is he became a head and shoulders better passer over the course of the second half of the season the reality is we're still waiting to see that growth this season. And there is nothing controversial or vitriolic about saying so from the mind of a rational observer.
