- DoctorOW 2y ago> On August 28, their work will debut at Sphere Probably isn't done yet
- CharlesW 2y agoThere are examples in this video: https://youtu.be/f01dsTigSmw https://youtu.be/f01dsTigSmw
- AIPedant 2y agoMan... I wrote a comment about how this project sounded tasteless and awful, but this is somehow much worse than I was expecting. The scene with the Wizard made me want to throw my tablet. Also, did they upscale the frame rate to 48fps??? Hard to tell from the video, but it looks like that’s the case. If so these people are ridiculous hacks and should never be allowed to touch another classic film. (“24fps would be disorienting on such a large screen!” Maybe that’s a sign this project should have never left the boardroom.)

If so these people are ridiculous hacks and should never be allowed to touch another classic film. Doesn't seem like it'd be an unreasonable choice to me if it's done well (I didn't notice any interpolation artifacts, checking through frames). People going to see a film at the Sphere probably aren't format purists expecting to see an entirely faithful and untouched version of the film, but rather a version adapted to take full advantage of the unusual medium.
- qingcharles 2y agoI think it's hard to tell about the FPS. The video is recorded in 60fps, so it might be causing the recorded footage to look higher FPS.
- ipsum2 2y agoWow, it looks better than I expected.
- mrandish 2y agoYikes, the parallax distortion is severe, especially when the camera pans. The metal wheel doesn't even look round. Unfortunately, the person shooting this video with their phone didn't zoom out to extreme wide angle to show what's going on in most of the field of view. The video looks like maybe a 60-70 degree slice out of the 165 degree Sphere screen. Of course, we already know the answer has to be: nothing. Nothing is going on in most of the screen.
- qingcharles 2y agoThis is absolutely incredible. I'm actually blown away by how good this looks and the technical challenges of making this happen. Fantastic work.
