Digital Projection blows either 35, 70, or IMAX if you believe that you are getting a better experience watching a digital movie over watching print film then you dont get the entire movie going experience of somewhere around 2 1/2 miles of film going threw a projection console (35mm), or like 15 miles with IMAX,.
I wonder if they are running a Dolby CP200 with the five-screen fronts and split-surrounds depending on the type of film soundtrack format, from Todd-AO to all Dolby formats!
If you mean in this video back then, no, there was no CP at all. As I recall it was just head to MPU to amps to speakers. I don't remember but I don't think he had LC and RC set up. I'll have to ask.
research super dimension 70. looks promising 70mm projector and camera that can both run at 48 frame per second. they also have a digital projector add on that makes picture better
IMAX's digital is not really IMAX except in the legal "we own the TM can stick it on anything sense." Just a pair of overlapped 2K projectors does not IMAX make. A real digital IMAX would need maybe 8K projection. They should just wait til it can be done right. What they have now is really more of a scam--installing in ordinary theatres with no giant screen. Google "fake imax" for more info about the scam.
I used to run 70 mm at home in my cinema, with a westrex 5000, the noise was staggering, but the frame was rock steady, the vic 10 excels at this you can shut that door ahhhhh.
I'm 18, and I say bring 70MM back! And there's new technology that could make it blow any digital stuff out of the water. But if we want progress towards this, then we need to contact the directors/DOP's/indie theater owners who care about film to make a movement on bringing 70MM back.
worry not, fellow YouTubers. when and if i DO become a filmmaker, i WILL remember to shoot some of my films in 65mm film negatives for 70mm & six-track stereophonic sound.
i would LOVE to shoot a movie in Todd-AO or Super Panavision. that would really make my day lol
Yeah, the fact that Lucas so passionately advocates digital over film is laughable. How can one of the world's highest-profile cinematographers not see the ENORMOUS difference in image quality between the two when it is so easily visible to a layman like me. Even in STANDARD DEFINITION TRAILERS BROADCAST ON TV I can easily tell whether it's digital or not because it's that much inferior. He speaks of the old-school directors who stick to film as if they are some kind of cavemen. What the fuck!
As for projection, NOTHING matches the richness of the color resulting from light passing through film - NOTHING! Also, when I go to the theater, I don't want a compressed video medium. That's why I choose the movie ticket over a DVD
Why why why didnt this become standard film for cinema's. its strange that an industry that generates so much money choosed for 35mm film stretched anamorphic system in the end.
Wow, listen to the sound of those motors and sprockets winding and turning! Did you use ear plugs because even the sound here is drilling though, my head!
That was shot around 1993 or 94. The color was excellent when I aquired the print but it gradually faded to magenta over a period of about 5 or 6 years. The lamphouse is a Christie 450 watt verticle working through a beam spreader lens and as one can see the brightness and eveness of illumination was quite good. Interestingly that print of Krakatoa survives to this day and is sitting at a theater in Wyoming.
Judging by the smeary trails in the videos, a telltale sign of vidicon tube cameras used before the days of CCD and CMOS pickups, this must date to the mid-1980s or earlier.
What condition? Which track, Todd-AO, Todd-AO w/Dolby SR NR, or Dolby SR with 5.1 track layout? (Yes there was at least one print like that back in 1997)
I would have liked to have seen this video shot in 70mm instead. 70mm of a 70mm projector. Make it happen

Cine V10's were an awesome machine! I ran a pair of V8's a few years back, but only with 35mm.
If film stock prices and allowing mag striping to be legal, 70mm could have a decent comeback. But for now, it's swinging to the digital/3D age.

how about this? maybe there will be a digital 70mm system in full that would bring 70mm into the next century

Digital is getting to where the aesthetics is the same look and feel as film it's soon to be cheaper to use as well.

No, actually it's much older than that. I'd say I shot that around 1985 or 1986.

Must be one of the smallest Xenon Lamphouse on a Victoria 10, they are quiet running, but fiddly to lace up than a Victoria 8.

Krakatoa in Dolby ? Whoever could be mad enough to make new mix or even new prints of that one ??
Junk story, but quite impressive to watch and hear !!

Dang!!! Is that Krakatoa? Good color for Eastman. Anybody looking for a full reel # 10, the full final reel of "2001" in 70mm?
