>Curious if this problem will go away with digital projection? Eventually digital projectors should be able to represent any visible color, I should think. It’s already pretty close. The first 15/70mm filmout of my first one minute footage is currently part of Barco demo of their new 4K DLP projector vs. 15/70mm (IMAX) film that they are showing around. My master projects are in Adobe ProPhotoRGB colorspace and look fantastic. Going out to 8-bit looks pretty crappy. But even going out to 10 or 12 bit log to film loses a lot of color saturation, tonal shading and some colors just vanish. But with a DCP via the Barco DLP at 4k, I saw more colors than I see on my wide gamut LCD looking at the 32-bit project in AE. Pretty jaw dropping. I asked Barco and Fotokem and they said this new gen displays the entire XYZ colorspace. My nostalgia for film dissappeared in a flash – it was remarkable how flat out drab and yellow film with it’s white point and limited gamut looked side by side. In another couple of generations, 4k and 8k digital projection with huge colorspaces, brightness and dynamic range will present a nice new palette without all the craziness of logs, out-of-gamut and such. stephen van vuuren 336.202.4777 http://www.outsideinthemovie.com/ A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later. –Stanley Kubrick |
