I used to work as a film projectionist for a movie theater that converted from 35MM to digital cinema. I miss that job so much. I firmly believe I was bullied out of my projectionist job back in 2008 by the managers and some district managers. They decided to automate their showings and digital projectors. I'm still trying to find another projectionist job. I've got 10 years experience. If anyone needs a film projectionist in the San Francisco area, please contact me!
@mixingart : I forgot to mention that I have 10 years experience working with 35MM film projection and exactly 3 years experience working with Digital Cinema projectors. I love both formats on equal levels. Again, if anyone needs a film projectionist in the San Francisco / Modesto / Stockton areas, please contact me through YouTube! Thanks in advance.
so theater's can charge more for a movie ticket so you can go watch a movie on a hard drive, Dolby and DLP is going to kill the movie going experience all together
i like watching print film in the theater it's last true analog format we have left to enjoy and now they want to take that away from us too they did it with with the audio industry with the switch from tape and vinyl to CD and mp3's now there gonna do it with theater
This video is misleading. Dolby, in particular has intentionally been left out of a lot of the decisions for DCI. Dolby is not liked in many areas as they are monopolistic and have hut the industry significantly in recent years.
As an exhibitor Dolby is liked, as a producer, dolby has screwed film makers with clip the ticket expenses they shouldn't have had to pay.
This video is a disgrace, claiming Dolby are so closely involved in DCI. They are simply another company implementing the Spec.
I sincerely hope that that 1920x1037 resolution was a joke. The imperfections of 1920x1080p are already visible on 70" HDTVs, can you imagine how low-rez it will look on a screen that large? The pixels will be the size of building-blocks. Digital Cinema 4K (4096x2160p) should be the bottom-of-the-barrel standard for implementing digital HD technology in our cinemas, otherwise real 35mm and 70mm film looks vastly superior.
many 35mm films you see in theaters now were edited in 1920*1080 (anamorphically compressed) or 2k, which is barely higher. All of the IMAX films you see were edited in 4K.
4 k is the standard in almost all digital commercial cinemas the 1920 x 1080p resolution is only reserve for us consumers...yup I do agree we should be able to buy 4k consumer products but what would we be watching ???? their is no way a blu ray or whatever new technology disc can carry a whole 2 hour 4k movie....thats where hard dives come into place.....but again is going to be some time till us consumers get the chance to buy 4k projectors and buy 4k movies at best buy.
Would we even want movies transferred to 4K? I think the 1920x1080 resolution is sufficient for movies originally shot in 35mm film (Almost all blockbuster hits and the majority of the hollywood studios' collective library is shot in this). However, a new 4K consumer format could be reserved for IMAX transfers or video shot in native digital 4K (or higher).
well ..... movies would not be transferred from 1920 x1080p to 4k .....because most new movies the likes of The Dark Knight and Cloverfield where shot with 2k and 4k digital cameras except some scenes... so indeed we would theoretically be watching exactly what was shot by the director. and well with the economy being so down movie studios are moving into the digital age..to save money. yes 1080 is good but when there is room for improvement we should always embrace the new technology.
@Stlcards789 I agree, but I was referring to the home theatre of the average consumer. In a cinema, I would expect 4k at the very least, even if the film was shot in 16mm. Ideally, larger cinemas would use 8k resolution.
At that size (large cinema screens), I would rather see the rough grain of 16mm film in high-resolution than the "screen door" effect with low resolution.
I just know that digital film is good makes you excited, i don;t know is something bright to me if the production know that this excited for people they need to put in cinema

The Cinerama Theater in Seattle actually dumped their digital projector due to complaints of poor image quality. And for Episode III of "Star Wars" they went back to good old 35mm. And is still the case today for "Iron Man". Although I assume they have better digital projectors today than 3-4 years ago...
No kidding Star wars 3 looked like crap with film and even worse in HD. You need film to cover up some of the crappy CGI. I peronally like the old films with miniatures way more then green screen crap.
the dolby dightal logo is a bit scary for the people when it says 2 1 it makes this nosie then dolby words come up thanks for putting this with dolby cinema
they even got dlp for the home also and they got cinewide lens for wide screen for projectors the lens removes the blck bars frome video at home i would like to see dlp drive in also they even got out dlp imaxs projcetor aloso hd is changen the world as we khnow it
interesting....although ya gotta love the beauty of 25 film..its where it all began!! hope digital doesnt completely take over! ill be outa the job then too!

@stryker7x The Dark Knight was not shot digitally. Shot on 65mm and 35mm. It's also worth noting Christopher Nolan will not shoot digital.
Stlcards789 1 year ago
@Enigmatism415 If a movie was shot on 35mm film or higher and scanned at 4k and projected at 4k you would see an unbelievably high quality picture.

@Enigmatism415 You can't get 4k out of 16mm. Also you cant get 8k out of 35mm or any digital cinema camera.
