THANK YOU! If you hadn't said it, I was going to say it. Spike tape might not look as clean as this thing...but it's way cheaper...and you can put it in way more configurations...

alright mythbusters, do your thing.

maybe I don't...but it seems to be in everything I read about the degradation of digital media.

I was more interested in how shitty the quartet was...holy crap they were bad...

you're right, but I'm saying they only did that for the video release, they didn't do that in theatres. It was done that way to justify showing all three ending to the viewer. Rather than having it an easter egg that appears after the credits where they show the alternate ending. Or rather than playing them all at…

Ok, "picks off" is the wrong word...Hard drives store media magnetically. With anything magnetic, other magnetic forces, including the Earth's magnetic field will act upon the magnetically stored media and will slowly realign the magnetism over time.

Yeah, as other people have mentioned, when it screened in theatres only one of the endings was shown in any given theatre. This is a great tactic to get people to see the movie more than once, and is also a neat way of getting people talking about the film. Some newspapers advertised which theatre's were playing…

i'm so over this one...been around for quite some time...

the problem is it would look like CGI. It would look computer generated. Yeah, maybe it'd look more crisp, and you could do more with it. But it's the fact that this is real that makes it more enticing.

mimicking other artists work is a great exercise for artists to understand the techniques of greater artists who came before them. Replicating older pieces in a new medium can be used as a form of exploration into new mediums and discovering the possibilities of it. Trying to break ground for a new form of art. …

The rule of 3 that I've heard is essentially completely different than what this states. In the film industry, if digital media isn't archived on film (film still lasts longer at full quality than digital media), they create 3 back-ups on different servers. Then, they constantly copy the media files back and forth…

Aside from my Canon AE-1 Program, and my Canon Rebel (and a 4X5 Speedgraflex, which I won't count) all of the cameras i've used have been school cameras, the Bolexes being at least 30 years old. I have never seen viewfinders this gross.

damn...what the hell happened to these cameras? I've looked through many different viewfinders, and viewfinders that have been around for decades (Bolex Rex 5 is probably the oldest), never have I seen viewfinders this disgusting.

I personally love motion blur. It's apart of the art of cinema, but high speed photography is also apart of cinema. I think they both have their place, their use needs to be well thought out.

Ah, with a name like "solarization" I had assumed it was an in camera effect achieved by using a filter over the lens or some other technique.

Might be a good idea for computers, but I can't stand TVs with high refresh rates. TVs that have the built in motion enhancing or motion smoothing technology. Most things are either filmed at 24 fps or 30fps. The high refresh rate, and motion smoothing technology needlessly interpolates the frames and makes up data…

so, precisely, how are these photos taken? It seems like certain parts of the photo are inverted, while others are not.

I prefer Leyendecker

agreed, this is not time lapse, there is no apparent time compression going on in this video, there's only parallel time, but the two different times play out in real time.
