Ozymandias Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Can someone please explain this to me. This is what it says about Prometheus on IMDb: Cinematographic process Digital Intermediate (2K) (master format) Redcode RAW (5K) (dual-strip 3-D) (source format) Does this mean that the footage I saw when I watched Prometheus in the cinemas was 5K? I didn't even know cinema projectors could project that high a resolution. And compared to the IMAX footage in The Dark Knight Rises, which is the highest resolution? Thx for any elaboration. All I know is that it was shot with Red Epic cameras(the absolute state of the art, James Cameron plans to use these on Avatar 2) and has some of the best cinematography I've ever seen.

A Marvel Fanboy Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 The raw Red Epic (a digital camera) footage is 5K.2D movies in Theaters mostly is 2K, including Prometheus. There are 4K theaters now but very limited, even much less than IMAX theaters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riczhang Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I'm thinking that if any blockbuster gets in, it'd be Skyfall, just a feeling, the Deakins cinematography looks gorgeous. On an unrelated note, I find it funny that you can get 4K projectors for home theatres yet most theatres still only project 2K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Futurist Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) Skyfall cinematography was absolutely phenomenal. Roger Deakins is a freaking genius.

RichWS Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 After seeing it, I'd have to say Skyfall is locked in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travod Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 The main dance scene in Anna K was friggin' crazy. Literally five minutes long like a single long shot weaving in and out of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 The Master and Les Mis could win. Skyfall I'm not sure it will sneak in. Hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a whole lot different then the stuff Wright has been doing before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishstick Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 AK`s production values overshadowed director and actors. fact. So it should be good for bucketload of Art, Costume,etc techies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 After seeing Skyfall, I definitely hope Deakins gets the win this year. Another wonderful effort from him in a stellar career. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
