Movies- Film vs video

I'm kinda torn. Film to me gives a movie a more authentic look. Video looks to crisp at times and now with HD it gives strange color that I don't think adds to the overall movie.

It's almost like cd's for music. Sure you got more room to add songs but that compression sucks the ambience out of the song. Yeah vinyl is the daddy but I understand the need for portability.

Some tech is just not as good as some old stuff.

I think that if HD video were around when Hitchcock was making movies, he would have used it.

You don't hear about many people wanting to shoot in 16mm instead of 35mm...

I appreciate directors who can make the mechanics of film, or the process used, work for them in telling their story. You used to be able to get away with a lot of things with film that you can't using video - but you can fix it all in post with video a lot easier.

Lord of the Rings is a great hybrid example of a movie that uses both technologies - shot on film, transferred to HD video for post (digital grading of environments a big part of that) and then back to film. The movie looks great and was put together with care.

Crap like Transformers is just hack directed, with lots of geeks sticking lots of cool stuff on the screen so you don't care. LOTR, for the most part, used the effects to enhance the story and draw you into the characters (although there were a few scenes that were quite over the top) - for example, the Rohirrim getting ready for their charge against the Orcs at Minas Tirith.

Legolas against the Oilphaunt was just retarded.

And yeah, nothing like HD sports - when they do closeups. I find that when for example, they show the whole line of scrimmage, the sampling seems to make people look a lot fuzzier than when the camera focuses on a single person.

      I just switched to prime video with fanduel south. Will I be able to watch the Canes playoff games still?

      I mean, you can use that "logic," but the problem is that most practice squad players, backups or average guys don't put the play on film that Wharton did when given their opportunities.  Perhaps you'll end up right, but I don't think that just because a guy has been in a rotation makes him inherently less productive because he gets more snaps. I will say that the KC fans I've seen on social media loved him, and considered him their second best DT,  regardless of his "rotational" status, and generally considered him a dawg, so I'm going to give him the benefit of doubt until he shows otherwise.

      Ward 1, Hunter, maybe 2. Per McShay

      Did I miss something?  The people we have developing players now are not the ones we've had in the past so I don't know what the heck people are talking about when they say we are not good at developing players right now.  We only have one year to go on.  Canales likes young players or players who are on an upward trajectory, especially in FA this year.  Past QB's and what he's done with Bryce are good examples. Tershawn Wharton - 26 Tre'von Moehrig - 25 Pat Jones II - 26 Bobby Brown III - 24 Michael Jackson - 28 Jaycee Horn - 25 Tommy Tremble - 24 We missed on Milton Williams but he's 26. Everyone else we picked up are on 1 year deals.  The Panthers new front office and Canales absolutely scream developmental team. Pick 8 (stay) Tier 1 Elite - Abdul Carter, Travis Hunter and Mason Graham Tier 2 Elite - Jalon Walker, Mykel Williams, Will Johnson Trade down: There are quite a few really good players that fit us at Edge, DT, S and WR mid to late 1st and high 2nd.  Some combos that would be possible that I really like.  Imagine getting 2 of these guys by trading down. Stark, Pierce Jr, Golden, Scourton, Grant, Emmanwori, Ezeiruaku, Umanmielen, Deone Walker, Harmon and this is just off the top of my head.
