You don't actually touch the Linux system, you interact with the box via a web browser. But the fact that it's a computer lets you mount a bare drive and transfer material to it without the need to...

That would only be true if you're using the SRPC4. That unit is actually a self contained Linux based computer. You can also use the SRD1, which is a direct attached (eSATA or USB3) drive that is...

Collaboration usually involves different facilities involved in different parts of the post process and the need to facilitate movement of materials and edit information between different platforms....

When you're shooting stereoscopic, you're dealing with two cameras on every shot and making adjustments to things that don't even exist when shooting flat. You usually need to change rigs to swing a...

That's likely, in large part, to the fact that in many, if not the great majority, of live action 3D releases, the decision to do a 3D version was made by the studio, not the filmmakers. However you...

If that were true, there wouldn't be 2D versions of those pictures. But there are, and usually on more screens and with more showings than the 3D version.

3D versions are made because it is...

Not when you consider that 2 or 3 years ago, it was closer to 60%. It is undeniable that the trend has been that the percentage has been dropping for quite some time, even if there is the occasional...

Nothing in Iron Man 3 was shot in 3D. It was completely a 2D production.

The cost of making and distributing motion pictures is not a lot different than it has been for many years. Film stock, film cameras, and lab costs hae been replaced by other charges that are, for...

The folks who did the original went through a lot of experimentation and iterations before they arrived where they did. And they came up with a combination of a lot of techniques to achieve it, many...

And in my (and probably your) experience, neither timecode on audio nor timecode slates are particularly accurate, with the slates being the less accurate. But all need to be hand checked if proper...

Not that it's important in the least, but time code as we know it and use it was developed by EECO in the late 1960's, and adopted and standardized by SMPTE later on. Aaton did come up with an...

If you're relying on IMDB for accurate information in this regard, you're in trouble already. And "mastering" in 4K (I assume you mean the digital intermediate) does not imply a 4K DCP distribution...

Because to a very large degree, it's true. Very few studio level pictures go out as 4K DI's, especially those with a healthy dose of visual effects - which, these days, means just about every...

Except that it's very unlikely that you have ever seen either one in a theater played from a 4K DCP, or even finished via a 4K DI. So what you're seeing almost all the time is a 2K image being...

While this is generally true, it isn't implemented the way a lot of people here seem to think it is. The advantage of the Alexa Prores files when compared to R3D has much less to do with dailies...

You seem to have missed my point. My point was that color palettes and "looks" that even modern viewers seem to admire were made long before the invention of electronic manipulation, computers, and...

Let me reword that a bit so you can appear a bit more honest. "Give me cheap and free stuff because I want it. And fuck actual business practice, normal pricing policies, and the ability for...

Well, I love Aston Martin and Ferrari and wish they would manufacture cars for $1000. But I don't realistically expect that to happen.

And gee, just imagine - these looks were actually accomplished with things like production design, lighting, and photochemical film timing, without the use of any digital intermediate techniques, and...

Have you not heard of the Arri Alexa?

Regarding Red, you cannot compare a Raw recording to something like Prores. Prores is an RGB, proprietary codec (yes, proprietary, not a standard, and...

Probably because L.A. already has more existing stages and studio lots - by far - than anyplace else in the world. Which, by the way, didn't stop the Manhattan Beach Studios from getting built in the...

We'll see. If the incentives change, all bets are off. The only thing that will sustain a local flim infrastructure is locally produced, indigenous production. Relying on studio pictures from Los...

I'm only going to post this one reply, because I can see this turning into a "religious" issue, and that shouldn't be the case.

If incentives are intended to target certain industries, they're...

I never said it has a "lock." What I did say is that attracting anything by selling yourself as "cheap" ultimately results in someone else coming along who's even cheaper than you are, forcing you to...
