    3rd Hobbit Film!!!

    For those still watching this thread that might have missed the small section on the RED site.

    I'm excited, glad to see they want to give us more than the book. I missed Tom Bombadil in the first one, They should amend it. :)

    2k -> 4k = 4x
    24fps -> 48fps = 2x

    4 * 2 = 8x.

    There would be some savings though since you could use lower sampling settings. But yeah. Lots more data no matter what. Especially if WETA is going deep-pixel compositing for a lot of it.

    3D gives you another 2x multiplier bringing it to 16.

    You misread my comparison, I was comparing 4K, 48 in 3D, to 2K, 24 in 2D (which is what the vfx in LOTR would have been.)


    So in pure pixel terms, given similar amounts of VFX and similar duration per film, the overall processing capacity compared to 10-12 years ago when they were last working in Middle Earth would be a 16 x increase if they were go to 4K for everything.

    I see Gabe has spotted what I was mentioning.

    Also, just did some very rough spitball maths, and the film cost equivalent would have been what, about $12million dollars just for stock (0.55/ft no processing) where the raw HDD costs for 12TB x 266 days x 4 (identical redundant copies) at say 7cents/gig =$900K.

    The film footage cost comparisons were made to 4-perf film. If it had been shot on 3-perf -- a more likely consideration -- film costs would've been 25% less. But that's a "what if" that no longer applies in the real world.

    Film costs, developing costs, and dailies costs are a non-issue with a $500 million production. Catering will cost more than $12 million on a film this size. Note also they're going back and doing reshoots, so I think they're going over $500M. But since they're getting 3 movies out of this, I think there's an excellent chance they'll still make a big profit, and I have faith that Jackson will make a great film.

    I love the atmosphere of this music, thought you guys might like to sing along and dream of the adventures to come.
