Chinatown (1974) 4K UHD Blu-ray: An excellent transfer by Paramount. Minor grain softness and poor lighting in a few scenes, but overall, the film looks stunning. Vibrant colors, clear audio, and a classic movie that still captivates. A must-own for 4K UHD fans!

Ever Wonder Why Black Bars Make Your Video Look Like a Movie? Video editors, have you ever wondered why adding black bars to the top and bottom of your videos instantly gives them that cinematic feel? Here's why: Before the 1950s, movies were shown in a 4:3 ratio. However, with sales declining, Hollywood introduced the anamorphic lens process to revive the industry. This changed the traditional 4:3 ratio to a wider angle, giving audiences a completely new visual experience. Suddenly, films had a wider aspect ratio, with noticeable lens flares and slight distortion—elements that became iconic. From the 1950s to now, almost all movies adopted this format, creating a psychological effect: Wide aspect ratio / black bars = Cinema So, when you add those black bars to your video, you're tapping into that same cinematic feeling. It's not just about the visuals; it's about the history behind it!

The Main Title sequence for Netflix’s Twilight of the Gods marks yU+co’s sixth collaboration with director Zack Snyder. The show is a complex, hard R retelling of Norse mythology, depicting great battles, love, vengeance and gods. Zack wanted a cool, classy title sequence that would establish the dramatic, serious and sophisticated tone of the show. We designed a :30 sec title sequence for the opening episode and unique :10 sec titles for each of the 7 remaining episodes. We used typography that echoes the Norse symbols and weaponry and placed them over a green background to give the sequence an organic feel. Drawing inspiration from Norse runes, we designed a graphical recording of the show’s story. Using symbolic and abstracted interpretations of the characters, the sequences hint at their motivations and intricacies, preparing audiences for what is to come. Twilight of the Gods is now streaming on Netflix, so make sure to check it out! #yuco #titledesign #motiongraphics #design #twilightofthegods #netflix #zacksnyder

An excellent transfer from Kino Lorber. The film grain is heavy, and I found that it mostly resolves perfectly. With what appears to be the thickest grain at the beginning of the film. After the first 15 minutes or so, it balances out really nicely. There are a few soft shots here and there, but overall, it was excellent for the time period. As always in movies shot on film, the dynamic range is quite low, and the brightness isn't overly high. With that said, there's some nice-looking color in the classrooms that looks very natural. Black levels are mostly awesome, but one scene at night in a house had slightly raised black levels, which I did not like. I found that the stereo mix sounded better than the 5.1 mix. The 5.1 mix is a mess. It has a lot of center channels matrixed into the surrounds and doesn't sound good. It has some decent warm bass in 5.1, but I found the mix to be much better in stereo. The stereo mix had none of these issues. Dialog is clear, and the use of surrounds in just the 2-channel mix sounds good. Overall, an excellent release from Kino Lorber. It has some inconsistent grain at the start but balances out very well after that. Make sure to choose the stereo mix because the 5.1 mix isn't good. I enjoyed watching this movie again. I didn't realize that so many Arnold Schwarzenegger quotes that I use on a daily basis come from this movie. I'd like to see Kino get some more Universal titles like this on 4K; that way, we know we'll always get very good transfers like this. I keep saying this lately, but they really don't make them like this anymore. Good stuff! Highly Recommended!

A standard transfer from Lionsgate. Film grain tends to look slightly controlled. It looks as though they did this to bring consistency to the grain. But it doesn't resolve as well as it could. The color grading looks good, with nice black-level detail. Good sound back in the LaserDisc days still sounds good today. The dialog is leaning on the low side. It's not reference bass compared to today's mixes, but it's a rock-solid mix that really makes use of a surround sound system. The use of surround sound reminds me of mixes like Speed and Casper on LaserDisc, where they quite heavily panned sound into the surround left and right channels. I really enjoy hearing mixes like this again. Overall, the grain is a little too controlled for my taste, but everything else looks fine. Still a good sounding movie. MOVIE THOUGHTS A good bit of 90s swashbuckling fun. It plays on male and female roles, but does it in a fun way. The acting is terrible, but it's never trying to be more than it is.

Getting the Whole Picture When I began my film, Carry On, I had to decide on an aspect ratio; that is, the proportion of height to width of the film frame. I chose to use the 16:9 ratio, a very wide ratio similiar to those popularized in movie theaters in such formats as Cinemascope, Vista Vision and Cinerama, which they say were conceived to give the moviegoer an experience that could not be had on the medium that had become a threat to theatrical movies:? television.Well, as we all know, television has found a way around that limitation. But in social media there are still examples of a fixed and restricted aspect ratio, mainly because of their use on cell phones.? Specifically, I refer to Instagram, which crops everything to a perfect square. So, try to post a wide or tall image on Instagram, and it will simply be cropped down to a square. This shows what goes missing when a 16:9 image, shown in blue,is cropped down to a square shape. I recently posted to my Instagram account a pencil test in 16:9 and was annoyed to find that, because of the cropping, it didn't make any sense to the viewer. Here, in square format, the cropping cut off some important action at screen right. Looking for a workaround, I did a little searching online and discovered a service called Kapwing. For no charge, I could upload my movie and get it modified so that the whole frame was in view, somewhat smaller, of course, but perfectly clear. Now we can see the rear of the taxi, where something happens near the end of the clip. Kapwing.com merely requires the inclusion of their small watermark in the lower right corner of each movie. You can visit them for more information. Source link No. 190: Square to 16:9https://lnkd.in/dy3_3ArM

Here’s article from Hollywood reporter on the changes to this years cohort.

Much like how Pixar's shorts (many would be shown before their features) would not only help showcase their latest CG innovations, but would give future directors the chance to run their own projects, like Enrico Casarosa (from La Luna to Luca) and Domee Shi (from Bao to Turning Red)! ?????? I always like to think that Pixar's aim from the beginning was to go AGAINST the idea that a studio should be about ONE person and their legacy - e.g. what would Walt Disney have done? ???? #creativity #authorship #directing #studios #animation #animationindustry

New Post: What excites ‘Dune: Part Two’ co-writer Jon Spaihts most about ‘Dune Messiah’? - https://lnkd.in/gTDgg88J - Dune: Part Two's explosive ending has already set the stage for the next step in Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) and Chani's (Zendaya) story. That can only mean one thing: Dune Messiah. SEE ALSO: 'Dune: Part Two' review: Denis Villeneuve's sci-fi masterpiece soars, then screams to a halt While Warner Bros. has yet to green-light a film based on Frank Herbert's second Dune novel, Dune: Part Two's strong box office showing and reception from critics and general audiences alike could lead to a path for a Dune Messiah adaptation. The cogs are already in motion: Director Denis Villeneuve told The Hollywood Reporter that he is currently in the writing process. In an interview with Mashable, Dune: Part Two co-writer Jon Spaihts confirmed that Villeneuve was working on the screenplay and that the two have had discussions about the film. Although Spaihts himself has yet to work on a Messiah script in any official capacity, he's more than ready to jump in."The exciting thing about Messiah is a truly inevitable and tremendous time jump," Spaihts told Mashable. The book picks up years after Paul takes over the Imperium. By this point, the jihad in his name has claimed billions of lives. And as Spaihts puts it, "Heavy is the head that wears the crown."Messiah's time jump offers us the chance to see a version of Paul who's grown further into his prescience, as well as more time with characters we didn't see much of in Dune: Part Two, such as a now-grown Alia Atreides (Anya Taylor-Joy) and Princess Irulan (Florence Pugh). It also continues to emphasize Herbert's cautionary tales about leader figures. SEE ALSO: Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen is the most fun part of any 'Dune' movie he's in "The function of Dune Messiah in the Dune canon is in some ways a repudiation of Dune," Spaihts explained. Yes, Herbert's misgivings about messianic figures are present in Dune, but the ending — including Paul's total rout of the Imperium — may leave room for heroic interpretations of Paul."I think Frank Herbert came away from troubled a little bit that perhaps he had put too much of a real crown on his savior he was trying to warn people about," Spaihts continued. "So, Dune Messiah really is his reply to himself and his reply to Dune. It's like the second act of Into the Woods where everything falls apart, and the shadows of everything reveal themselves."With its bleak themes and cliffhanger ending, it's clear Dune: Part Two is gearing up for Dune Messiah — perhaps even more emphatically than the end of Herbert's original Dune. "The lovely thing is that the way Denis has shaped the end of Dune: Part Two has set the table even better than the novel does for the coming machinations of Dune Messiah, where we'll see Cha
