Good look at the production of Dune Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBqXCWaebuE

They transferred the digital to film again, used anamorphic lenses for the 2.39 and spherical lenses for the full sensor for the 1.43 shots, the infared cameras, etc.
avatar
I really like the look of going from digital to film to digital. I'm surprised it isn't done more often
avatar
Costly though I'd imagine.
avatar
Weren't we told digital was superior in every way to film? Why emulate an inferior format
avatar
I'd image the cost would be pretty similar if not cheaper then filming on 35mm and scanning it for DI

new controls to auto-convert SDR to HDR in MPC! https://i.imgur.com/BYzDA79.jpeg

nice!

I know Studio Ghibli invented the first actual good film emulation techniques for when they made Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea. They called it the Ponyo Filter, and they used it for all their later films and remasters of their earlier digital films like Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle.
avatar
Before Studio Ghibli came along, it was some goofy and wacky effects that looked like Windows XP Movie Maker.
avatar
The likes of Steve Yedlin's film emulation techniques were merely building upon what Studio Ghibli started with 2008's Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea. I know other studios can use their tech too, as Studio Ponoc uses this Ponyo Filter 35mm emulation tech.
avatar
Even Earwig and the Witch (the Ghibli film that was 3D CGI) used the Ponyo Filter. But I would admit, filming out to 35mm is much better when done properly.
avatar
Studio Ghibli still makes filmouts of their films to this day for archival purposes, they most recently did this for The Boy and the Heron. Unfortunately, digital prints are pure digital transfers that have the Ponyo Filter, instead of being scanned from the 35mm filmout OCNs.
avatar
I know each of their films (judging from how they printed out The Boy and the Heron) have two forms of 35mm negatives (standard colour and three-strip Technicolor). https://online.stereosound.co.jp/_ct/17650657

Ever since Seagate shut down all its live phone support (Chat only now; mostly India based) their support quality has TANKED. I have been fighting w/ them since JANUARY when my warrantied drive failed; they shipped me out a replacement drive that was DOA. Its now March.. *STILL don't have a replacement drive! Beware.. I've told them I've been loyal for 20 years but had to say I'm prob going to Western Digital moving foward. Sad. Fun fact: may have lost all my files for my fanedit I've worked on for over a year now Sad we'll see.
avatar
Damn, I've had to RMA a few drives before but never been sent a DOA replacement. A good reminder for everyone to make backups

PSA: The US Cut of Highlander 2 is suddenly available to buy and stream on Amazon UK! If I had to guess I'd say it's an old, fairly soft, HD transfer made for a DVD that was never released. It's certainly different from every transfer I've seen before. Bizarrely it's even got PAL speedup. I wonder if the UK distributor is planning to finally update their old pan and scan DVD.
avatar
@HippieDalek, I sampled the trailer off PV UK, it's a legit recent HD transfer and totally different to any other masters out there. Looks to be off an interneg or IP. I'd rent it if i'd were you!
avatar
@SpaceBlackKnight Yeah I bought it as soon as I could to check it out. I'm contemplating getting in touch with Entertainment Distribution to ask about it; I'd love for it to get a physical release (with the PAL speedup corrected!). If I could get my hands on a Web-dl of this it would make my International Cut HD restoration a much less painful task, and it would certainly help out with my fanedit.
