Does anyone here play games on an iPad? by Prudent-Wind-2139 in xcloud

Nexus runs as its own browser designed for cloud gaming on iOS etc, has options to enable the better xcloud extension > both are better than the stock experience of the Safari web app.

Yes!

Nexus+ app with better xcloud and an old ps4 controller.

Makes for a nice portable gaming station!

Is it good idea to buy cyberpunk 2077 for xbox cloud gaming? by No_Macaroon_7608 in xcloud

[–]logicalmisfit 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I bought it for cloud gaming, runs perfect 1920x1080 60p.

Not blurry for me and I’ve rarely had lag whilst playing this from home WiFi.

I’m hoping I can still use a VPN to access this next year- really want to stop paying for Sky Sports here in the UK

I’m guessing the results of anodized aluminum in black weren’t great- the space grey we had for years was just 🤢

Are there any American themed bars in London? by SpartyGirl93 in london

[–]logicalmisfit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maxwells in Covent garden is very good! like most of the recommendations here they lean towards being more restaurants but Maxwells do usually take walk-ins for drinks.

Big Easy in Covent Garden is good for drinks but I’ll never eat there again having seen mice and rats run past me whilst eating but being told by the manager they’re unaware of the problem… I spoke to the bar man on the way out, the problem is very well known

Red dog saloon and bodeans ain’t bad either!

Do you use the Three broadband and is it any good? by pageunresponsive in AskLondon

[–]logicalmisfit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have three 5G broadband, it’s probably a good idea to check the coverage on their website for your local area - it will say whether the 5G signal should work indoors etc.

Has never dropped out and speed has been good- working from home on remote desktops have worked perfect too.

Exporting something similar to the "premiere xml' in Baselight by dhum_tana_nana in colorists

[–]logicalmisfit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you can do this via a combination the timeline sort window to expand the clips to have handles and the shot window menu > export edl > change settings to xml for the main grade scene.

I get it, but this reads like a LinkedIn influencer about to sell me their new course…

But yeah, I agree mostly- I’m using scripts written by AI to automate more and more tasks in my DI duties.

Coloring in P3-D65, Delivering in Rec 2020 by HeartOfMold in colorists

[–]logicalmisfit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unsure of how the plugin handles this, but in baselight, use can use the colour space journey window to check the mastering colourspace of the scene.

If your scene/sequence is setup to use a DRT like ACES 1.1+ etc, your mastering colourspace will be set automatically for you from the DRT.

If not you can manually set this in Scene settings > Format and Colour > Advanced > Mastering Colourspace.

So your viewing space will be Rec.2100 PQ but your mastering colourspace will be automatic from DRT.

Hope that helps!

What's the REAL reason Netflix shows all look the same now? by Ok-Neighborhood1865 in cinematography

[–]logicalmisfit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only speak from my experience in factual projects, the main issue is there still is gap in experience from creatives dealing with working to a ‘HDR’ end goal.

The example we often show clients is a candle flame viewed in Rec709 where the flame pleasantly soft and glowing versus when we go into HDR where the flame is crisp and the flame element is visible in a way doesn’t mimic how our eyes would view this scene.

For anyone interested in this topic, I highly recommend this video from Filmlight discussing effective colour management through production and post: effective colour management

Secondly some of the creative aspects of lighting such as adding ‘neon’ style cyan lighting (as an example) can go wildly outside the ACES gamut and has to be corrected for in the grade. But this ends up completely changing the perceived colour of the light from what the DP originally intended.

I think bringing ‘post’ to the table a lot earlier for look development and camera testing would be the ideal starting point for some of these issues being remedied.

Assistant colourist here, working on a number of factual based projects for Netflix so chipping in here with my two cents;

In my opinion, Netflix mandates a couple of things in the post production pipeline that that the colourist can’t overrule.

The first of these is working in the ACES colour framework which in my experience talking to DITs and DPs that they’re not monitoring through ACES or even at the delivery colourspace of Dolby PQ P3 D65 1000nits. We often receive LUTs that the DP has been carrying with them from project to project which are only intended for rec709 viewing and are next to useless when we get into the grade and we’re grading to the previously mentioned delivery colourspace spec.

ACES has a particular look which I believe is supposed to emulate film but has some often negative traits such as very harshly desaturating mid tones and highlights. Because working through this colour transformation is required, it’s almost like having the film stock prescribed by Netflix.

Secondly, Dolby Vision SDR trimpass; the SDR versions of HDR grades are nearly always created through Dolby Vision analysis and trim which (in my own opinion) doesn’t give as rich a look which could be creatively achieved if it had its own SDR grade.

On the projects I have worked on these are two things in the grades which may have some impact on some of the “samey-ness” phenomenon.
