This video is outdated – 4 years outdated actually, which speaks to how lengthy Top Gun: Maverick was delayed due to COVID and whatnot, however I did not see it posted right here. I assumed it’d resonate with some folks right here and perhaps even educate. Watching cinema from home has its challenges when it comes to the vagaries of shopper tools versus the ‘calibrated’ theater expertise.
I think about there are numerous examples of the inverse, after all. Everyone who watched that final season of Game of Thrones at home remembers that one episode that was too darkish to see on many individuals’s home setups, whereas it in all probability seemed positive on no matter tools the peeps within the studio have been utilizing. Or the problem with Christopher Nolan’s audio in Tenet, which perhaps sounded positive with an costly setup, however did not translate properly to distributing to a number of audio setups each in theaters or houses. In these circumstances the moviemakers probably ought to have taken extra effort to make their work usable in a home theater expertise.
It’s an fascinating drawback throughout, making an attempt to create a manufacturing that appears a sure manner within the editor’s sales space, however even that is going to differ from a projection in a theater, and then some man watching the film on a aircraft, or from a TV with poor defaults turned on, and so on.
In any case, I like that this PSA exists, and the truth that he mentioned filmmakers are attempting to persuade {hardware} producers to not do stuff like flip on motion smoothing by default.
