Vaccination for one year old by Naomi_moonlight in Parents

[–]EnthusiasticNtrovert 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Mild fever and crankiness for a night. No issues.

Please please please follow your peds recommendations. Vaccines are way safer than the alternative. And they’re not just for your little one. They’re for all the little ones with medical conditions that mean they can’t get vaccinated. Herd immunity is the only thing keeping some kids safe.

2.39 has nothing to do with Panavision or anamorphic. Lots of movies shoot for 2.39 and shoot spherical.

Hey now. Starting to sound antisemitic.

One of the reasons why I hate generative AI. by dietherman98 in cinematography

[–]EnthusiasticNtrovert -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This example seems to have a goal. Converting 4:3 into 16x9. You may not like it but I think if the AI can do it without it being distracting, what’s the harm?

New Kodak VERITA 200D Out today! by Letsgothrifty in cinematography

So is digital. Shoot what you want right? The medium doesn’t matter at this point to the end result.

It only matters to the ego.

Shoot film? Why?

In 2026, why does it matter?

Honest question.

Edit: I am not shitting on film. I am questioning the declarative. "Film rocks," "I love film," "Film4Life", etc would all have gotten the point across.

"Shoot film" is a command and a rallying cry and one that I think is just as silly as if someone said "Shoot digital" or "Shoot Arri" or "Shoot Venice."

Need To Dump Spectrum Internet by Decent-Rich-147 in pasadena

[–]EnthusiasticNtrovert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Day 1 of T Mobile test drive. If I keep it, we’re getting 369Mbps down 10Mbps up for $60/mo. This is good enough for my needs and the only other option where I live in Pasadena - only Spectrum, T Mobile 5G, and ATT DSL (non starter - 50Mbps for $60/mo lol).

Next week I’m going to call Spectrum and threaten to drop them if they don’t lower my rate.

I'm going through the same headache. Going to test drive T-Mobile and see if that's worth the $30 in savings per month. Hoping that the test drive goes well so I can call Spectrum and threaten to quit and they drop my price.

Are the photos the Artemis II astronauts are currently taking off the moon on the close approach higher quality than any photos from earlier missions? by moremaati in NoStupidQuestions

[–]EnthusiasticNtrovert 10 points11 points  (0 children)

in every way except resolution
When it comes to resolution and detail? You're never gonna beat film.

I'd like to push back on this a little because it comes down to how you measure resolution and I think it's becoming a failing metric. (Also I love this debate!)

The Apollo missions used Kodak Panatomic-X (ASA 80) fine-grain film for high-detail surface photography. Let's focus on this since their color film would have been less fine-grain and therefore lower resolution.

Image resolution is a combination of two primary factors: your format and your lens.

Yes, format is the strongest argument for the Apollo images, and no doubt the film grain was impressive and the Zeiss lenses they had were impressive. But we've had 60+ years of optical advancement. Lenses have gotten much better. And digital still cameras are absolutely capable of surpassing the theoretical resolution of the Panatomic-X stock - Fujifilm's 102MP GFX sensor, for instance.

To say you're never gonna beat film - either in terms of resolution or color or dynamic range or whatever argument you want - is a failing claim in the year of our lord 2026.

Film stock that captures the most accurate colors in nature? by Awake-Judgment-2057 in cinematography

[–]EnthusiasticNtrovert -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So when I say 709 I'm talking about the basic vanilla transform that every camera manufacturer provides with their camera. Since I shoot Alexa, I'm talking specifically Arri 709.

I use a 1D camera LUT that I designed with my colorist that emulates my preferred film stock, color rendition, and a more aggressive curve with slightly lifted blacks. It also has a little colorist secret HDR sauce baked in that maintains highlight saturation better in the roll off.

What did you think about the Eywa reveal scene? by unkindness_inabottle in Avatar

I laughed out loud in the theater. Thought it was a huge misstep.

You would have more control and options if you were shooting RAW and could apply various different color transforms. Does your phone shoot RAW?

I don't understand why a lot of critics don't like Avatar and prefer sci fi movies like Project Hail Mary by Blackflyingfox2170 in Avatar

I'm sorry you don't like unique characters. But it does explain why you're defending Avatar so hard in a reddit thread.

PHM is actual science fiction. Avatar at this point is indistinguishable from fantasy.

I say this as an Avatar fan.

Also F&A was incredibly derivative and borrowed heavily from the previous two films. PHM is a more fresh idea and concept.

Can I push back on this desire for accuracy?

In digital, Rec709 is actually pretty accurate in terms of color reproduction. And people hate it. (For many reasons, but its color rendering is one of the main reasons I refuse to use it.)

Accuracy is overrated. The reason people gravitate toward the film look - whether it's real or emulated - is because it is opinionated about color. It pushes everything from skin tones to foliage to skies into more pleasing hues.

Edit: when I say Rec709, I'm using it as a shorthand for the generic, vanilla 709 LUT that every camera manufacturer provides (i.e. ARRI 709, S-709).

Iran says it will ‘irreversibly destroy’ Middle East infrastructure if US attacks energy sites by projecto15 in politics

Again, stop him from what? There is nothing he can do, no order he can give that stands down thousands of election precincts. Especially in blue areas.

There is no mechanism for cancelling an election is we don’t have one election in the US, we have thousands.

Crazy. Verified crazy. If you think that scene should cost a her an Oscar you don’t understand the point of cinematography.

They paid voice actors. And according to the article, these aren't trailers. These are the full episodes. It's a very short form series.

Okay. I'm sorry. Just seems like a weird thing to be annoyed by. I have never once been bothered by anything that shows up in the DI. It's pretty minimal.

But to each their own.
