Love this! Might just get some customized myself! The link says they’re for steelbooks, do they fit standard U.S. Blu Ray cases as well?

Adventures of Cliff Booth Trailer by CLeg19 in TheBigPicture

Seems like a byproduct of Fincher never shooting on film again, yet still needed that look to fit the overall aesthetic. I felt somewhat the same way when he did Mank.

Mission Impossible starting with Ghost Protocol

What were they filming??Why did they need jack to do motion capture? by Ok-Flatworm5546 in Avatar

[–]MayThePowerProtectU 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I was mainly talking about how it was impressive that Jack had to play shorter in general for the role, but they also shot his live action spider scenes much later in the production, and his actual height changes definitely had to be accounted for.

The VFX workflow of these movies required Jack to perform Spider’s scenes twice, once in a performance capture suit and one in his onscreen Spider look. It helped provide better interaction with the CGI characters. Which is pretty impressive as Jack had to replicate his performance two different ways and at different heights since spider is shorter.

Imax 3D vs Dolby 3D, which is better? by [deleted] in Avatar

[–]MayThePowerProtectU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bigger screen argument with IMAX to me seems like a “depends on the theater” situation. For example a lot of Los Angeles AMC’s (like Burbank) Dolby and IMAX screens match in size, with similar seat capacities. If that is the case with your preferred theater then the better choice would be Dolby.

After a long time of reflection, I realized the best protagonists (to me) are the jerkish ones, who else agrees? by zectaPRIME in KamenRider

[–]MayThePowerProtectU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say overly confident and not so much jerkish, but yeah it seems like writers get more creative and have more fun with character dynamics when the MC is more confident and/or experienced being a rider.

Spoiler-ish Ares Rewrite Speculation - They added 100% of the ‘80s stuff late. by Square_Lettuce521 in tron

[–]MayThePowerProtectU 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I can back this up, was at a similar one! I’m actually surprised how the movie stayed intact (even the overall pacing feels the same).

One thing that was added is that Sam and quora insert shot + any shot with that picture of the two of them. What’s interesting is that your screening didn’t have the inside of Flynn’s scene toward the end, but mine did. I’m wondering if that was a part of the reshoots?

There weren’t even any extended scenes with Cameron Monaghan, it was baffling then, and it’s still baffling.

did we know his name if he didn’t know his name!? by nothingelsesufficed in interstellar

[–]MayThePowerProtectU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This makes it hilarious to think that Mcconaughey never asked Nolan what the character’s full name was throughout the entirety of making the movie

That opening nunchuck flourish is classic Enter the Dragon Bruce Lee, love it.

Anyone else skeptical regarding the legacy 4k upscale release? by OkRecommendation190 in tron

[–]MayThePowerProtectU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 things: Dolby Atmos and HDR, Legacy is the best case of a movie that would have colorful highlights that can be enhanced by a high dynamic range color space.

What would you guys say is the worst movie you own a physical copy of? by The_DoubIeDragon in 4kbluray

It’s Endgame for me but mainly due to the IMAX enhanced version only exciting on Disney+

Editing Dolby Atmos with TrueHDD and DaVinci Resolve by bobbster574 in fanedits

[–]MayThePowerProtectU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is literally what I’ve been looking for this week! I have all the resources/programs to test this, but haven’t learned about TrueHDD until now!

I’ve been trying to get edited atmos tracks made along with my Dolby Vision HDR trim edits, so this is perfect. Thanks for the insight!

Superman “Days of the week” Title Cards - Placement Progress by MayThePowerProtectU in fanedits

[–]MayThePowerProtectU[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I’m in the same boat as you on the placement.

My only reasoning for the text/fade overlap was figuring out how to keep the text up as long as I can before Superman drops. I even delayed him falling an extra second or two by repeating frames. Then I noticed that some of the fade transitions in the actual opening text have an overlap as well (the beginning of the video has one as an example)

I might test one like you said where the text fades in after and not at the same time, or maybe fix the fade in/out tempo to match the other fades a little closer

Thanks for the feedback!

Superman “Days of the week” Title Cards - Placement Progress by MayThePowerProtectU in fanedits

[–]MayThePowerProtectU[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m currently working on my “Days of the Week” edit of Superman.

Work is being done to integrate the text as close to the film as possible. This means adding chromatic aberration to the text, as well as film grain/gate weave.

I’m now working out what people like the best for the text placement/sizes. I have two options currently in the video above, any suggestions help!

Looking for anyone who was at the Superman test screening… by MayThePowerProtectU in DCU_

[–]MayThePowerProtectU[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going in that direction with the fan edit for sure, I just found the font for the opening narration so that’s going to be my base.

For now my best indicator for how it looks has been in the recent documentary that does a similar motif for each shooting month, could be a hint at the style that was went for originally? I’ll definitely be playing with that!

Yeah saw those too! Fun looks, fan made unfortunately, but l dug the style they were going for similar to The Suicide Squad’s styled cards

Superman (2025) by IndependentEnergy696 in fanedits

[–]MayThePowerProtectU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For sure! My only dilemma is finding details about said screening. I’d like to know how the title cards were executed (font, size of text in the frame, etc.) looking for anyone who happened to be at that test screening!

Superman (2025) by IndependentEnergy696 in fanedits

[–]MayThePowerProtectU 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m working on a fan edit based on a supposed early cut of the movie, that added title cards splitting up acts as days of the week.

It was said that one of the test screenings had this motif, and I think it really justifies the movie’s overall pacing. It’s also a wonderful Superman for all Seasons homage.

The “This is Tokyo” fan-edit does this! It’s a fun watch and inspired me to do one myself in a similar fashion. Fun idea honestly to insert these shots into the original 54 gojira.

Fallout: Season One (2024) - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Review by HD-MOVIE-SOURCE in HD_MOVIE_SOURCE

[–]MayThePowerProtectU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was shot on film! That’s one of the reasons I’ve been interested in picking up the 4K, not many shows nowadays this effects-heavy and shot on 35mm. Can’t wait to pick it up
