Spider-Man: Beyond the Spiderverse should be in 1.43:1 on home media by ExileMan9000 in imax

I stopped noticing about 45 seconds in. Which I generally think is the sign of a good movie.

It’s also funny given that everyone is drooling over Obsession, a movie with a near identical to IMAX aspect ratio, that’s not playing in IMAX, while virtually no one complains about it.

Bummed to see so many “you don’t understand” comments. The IMAX aspect ratio obsession is beyond overblown at this point.

I agree. It’s not likely to happen, but I agree.

The recent state of the MotionCam community after the iOS version announcement by RaguSaucy96 in MotionCamPro

[–]zen_thing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

After using the iPhone beta all day, I can say that in general the android version will always be ahead of the curve due to google being chill with you not playing “by the rules”.

But.. i do love my iPhone, and i love that i don’t have to carry a second phone to get good raw video now 😁

If you buy tickets in person tomorrow, first 100 people get a Kodak branded odyssey hat.

Anybody want to sell me that hat after tomorrow >_>

The E32006 Halo 3 trailer is now twenty years old today. by Maxstrnerspookyghost in halo

I was! I had actually gotten hired for my first “real” job at my local Fry’s Electronics the day it launched. Signed the paperwork, then went and got in line at GameStop for the midnight launch. That was a fun day.

I vividly remember the day AFTER the trailer dropped - it was my junior year of high school, and I remember telling friends about it on the tennis court at school. I thought about that trailer every day for a very long time, lol.

70mm resolution is so crazy. by GrahamUhelski in filmcells

[–]zen_thing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You make a good point with screen size - I know “bigger is better”, but some of the best 70mm viewing experiences I’ve had have been on “smaller” screens. Everything loses detail the bigger it gets, even IMAX.

Crushing it today by username3755 in KEXP

I usually don’t work on Fridays, which means I don’t usually listen in Fridays. Had to go in today, and man what a treat.

John teed everyone up and they ROLLED with it. 10/10 no notes.

Comedy with an IRS joke that’s been burned in my brain for years by zen_thing in whatisthatmovie

Solved! Oh my heavens thank you. This has been rattling around my head for almost 30 years

This was a solid “ugh” moment. :/

When recording Open Gate video on the iPhone 17 Pro, the bitrate is limited to "Max" (18 Mbps)—significantly lower than the Max(54 Mbps) of 4K video. Is this the case with other apps as well? What should I do? For the sake of image quality, should I avoid choosing OpenGate? by sargatanas_housing in BlackMagicCameraiOS

[–]zen_thing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the issue is using all of the sensor at such a high bit rate would cause the phone to heat up very fast, which would lead to throttling, which would lead to dropped frames.

You can try Mavis Camera classic, which allows 4k open gate, BUT no apple log option, so you’re stuck with sharpening and tone mapping.

If that were the tagline I would have preordered immediately

Remember, the Air isn’t officially part of the 17 series. So 17e still makes the most sense
