Yep, all of The Walking Dead is shot on 16mm to get the look they want. It has resulted in Georgia still having a great film lab.
avatar
Yeah
avatar
Did I read that right?! They film The Walking Dead on 16mm!?
avatar
Today I watche Spaceball on LD... it's incredible how nice a 30yrs old open matte laserdisc could be...
avatar
It's good that 70mm is having something of a renaissance as well thanks to Nolan, Tarantino etc. How long for who knows
avatar
TWD is still shot on 16mm which is helping keep that format alive too.
avatar
Poor old Kodak, they want to ditch film so badly but the public won't have any of it...(sound of smallest violin in the world)
avatar
For extra points throw in some scenes from a wedding that randomly keep popping up during the movie. For that extra garage sale after divorce authenticity.
avatar
avatar
So... It is like a preservation of the old experience: watch a movie so worn out, that you might miss some scenes, due to quality issues... I am in...
avatar
Going to start FanInv (Fan Involution), where you must degrade as much as possible an HD (or, better, UHD) source, to make it look worse than an old, worn VHS tape. Who's with me?
avatar
Whiskey might do the trick too. Although nobody else will see the effect, so... so why not Zoidberg?
avatar
There are 'VHS effect' video filters available too by all accounts
avatar
I was thinking more along the lines of capturing to pc via composite out
avatar
Like record Die Hard over and over on it and then whatever you actually needed?
avatar
Actually, if you just re-record over it a bunch of times doesn't it degrade?
avatar
Or take it to a sauna with you. Or if you want some heavy damage take a hammer to it and transplant it to an unwrecked case. Or pull the tape out and make sweet sweet lov............. I'm getting carried away.
avatar
Seems, as if I need to get a second VHS recorder, to copy to VHS and then dupe it more times, to get it worn out...
avatar
@MrBrown I guess if I needed to, I would use the VCR I have to record it on an actual VHS and then capture it, I suppose. But then again perhaps not.
avatar
My ps3 has the possibility for composite out....
avatar
@MrBrown does your blu ray player have a composite out? You could do some old school futzing
avatar
Is there any script to give a BD or DVD a "20 times copied, worn out"-VHS look? Smile Would like to have a "retro" Version for some movies...
avatar
avatar
I miss the laserdisc turtle on single sided discs
avatar
I must confess I do not watch many LDs lately, but, for example, I watched The Lion King with my daughter few days ago, and I recall I have never watched it before! Nice edition, good colors, I liked it!
avatar
I never watched the EP1 LD... I think the only LD I ever watched in its entirety was the German City of the living Dead LD... Why do I collect LDs anyway? Oh, yes... Interesting Releases...
avatar
EP1 LD rip and upscale? Yep! Robocop Criterion? Still not... Wink probably a DVD would be better suited for the upscale!
avatar
Damn mobile phone ... Just autocowrecked "upscaling" to "Upscaling-Robocop-Criterion"
avatar
Okay... The LD looks great. Was the ripping and Upscaling-Robocop-Criterion done by you?
avatar
If someone thinks laserdisc should not be used for projects, due to its inherent low video quality... http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/195979
avatar
I'll admit to being quite a fan of it lol
avatar
35mm print of Highlander 2 (but with Russian audio) on eBay http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.vie...ID=EBAY-GB
avatar
Feels like two months lol
avatar

@Stamper it looks good, how is it for encoding?
avatar
One of mine I already have fulfilled: I ordered a parrot Bebop 2 today... Smile Other resolutions including a new PC, maybe in Summer, and maybe some LaserDiscs...
avatar
@zoidberg, try the skull canyon!
avatar
I wish an Happy New Year to everyone! Heart Auguro un Buon Anno Nuovo a tutti!
avatar
Pardon the pun but what are people's fanresolutions for the new year? Mine's a faster PC
avatar
Hmm, many old people stay alive for xreason when they should have died long ago
avatar
It was suicide in a way.
avatar
Obviously mother left herself die after he daughter passed
avatar
I refuse to believe that this was a coincidence.
avatar
I hope that mother and daughter rest in peace – together.
avatar
Aww, Debbie Reynolds died... I liked her. Sad
avatar
After the daughter, now the mother... this fudging year is going too far seriously. 2016, please stop right now!
avatar
Carrie Fisher obit: "Drowned in moonlight, strangled by own bra."
avatar
Thanks for the correction guys.
avatar
Unfortunately she was right in the middle of shooting for another film!
avatar
Actually she finished them months ago. The shoot ended this summer.
avatar
She had just finished up her scenes for the next film too. Bless her for leaving us such a gift. We will not forget.
avatar
Who's next???
avatar
Sad sad days, are these... Sad
avatar
May the force be with you Carrie. We will miss you.
avatar
LET IT ALL END.
avatar
Oh... Sad just watching Force Awaken with my brother...
avatar
Au revoir my dear Carrie....
avatar
Rip Carrie Fisher
avatar
Same for Never Say Never Again, it's an official film, legally made.
avatar
It was official. It just wasn't the main the series. The producers had the rights thus = official film. A Not Official film would be if they made it without owning the rights.
avatar
In the old Casino Royale (well.. not an official Bond, but.. somehow it is still a Bond.. or so ^^), there where.. more Bonds.. Smile I just watched "The world is not enough" and saw that Moneypenny was played by "Samantha Bond" in the four Brosnan Bonds.. fitting name for an Actress in a Bond Movie.. Smile
avatar
OK it was just mentioned on T1; but including young "versions", they should be 6 or 7... a bit less than James Bond (for the moment) and Doctor Who (it had a reason at least!)
avatar
John Connor is Rusty Griswold
avatar
If in T1 was a flashbackforward.. Then there where 6 John Connor in 5 movies... T2 has two John's.
avatar
IIRC in T1 is in a flashback (or flashforward?!?) or in a deleted scene... can't remember, too many terminators - even if I fondly remember just the terminatrix...
avatar
Still pissed they canceled it.
avatar
And don't forget the.. Sarah Connor Chronicles Series.. that is another John Connor...
avatar
Is there a John Connor in the First Movie?
avatar
Is it just me that think it's kinda strange to have five different John Connor in five movies?!?
avatar
I cherished Christmas, when it wasn't so mainstream... Smile
avatar
Xmas was so yesterday....
avatar
*closes door slowly*
avatar
....no..........mister gigantic Austrian scary man.
avatar
Is some Sarah Connor here? Smile
avatar
Well... Smile
avatar
You're going around, shooting people and asking for Sarah Connor?
avatar
Somehow my Christmas is a bit Terminator themed, mentally. Smile
avatar
Honey, I Shrunk the Chrismas Tree Wink
