You should stay on your meds.

I'm waiting for the genetic test that tells you whether you'll like HFR films or not.

I couldn't tell if the dog got that it was controlling the vehicle. It looked like it just followed commands for actions. If it put it together, that would be awesome.

I appreciate what you're saying. But I don't think it's modern black people vs. modern white people. The producers are trying to show a chronology. 150,000 years ago, that was all of us: black, African, hunter-gatherer. They're using modern footage to represent the ancestral origins of homo sapiens. You can't use a…

What happened to ultra-capacitors? Super quick recharging, no nasty chemicals. That used to be the future.

I understand what you're saying, and I read John's article, but I have to say, watching Samsara (shot in 65mm, projected at 4K) was astonishing. It felt more "3D" than most 3D movies I've seen.

Does anyone see the irony here? The whole point of having a LEGO is that it fits into a bunch of other LEGO and you can make something with it.

Exactly.

U.S. government, military, and financial systems are attacked hourly. It's a constant battle.

Strategies from the bakery where I used to work: when the cheesecake comes out of the oven, slide a knife around the edge to separate it from the pan. That way, when it shrinks (as it cools) it simply contracts, but it won't rip itself apart. If there is a rip, we used mascarpone (a soft, sweet, Italian cheese) to…

I think the bride's gesture implied "do you want me to take a picture of your head on fire?"

100 year shelf life, non-volatile storage. Archiving video and data at 1TB per disc. Yes, please.

$8,000 camera. And a $38,000 lens...

Even Peter Jackson was saying that they're not releasing at 48fps in 2D, it's really just to get enough frames to each eye in the 3D projection. We'll see what happens with James Cameron's next Avatar film, which sounds like might be 60fps.

Theoretically, yes, but except for special shots (fight sequence, drunk POV, footage that will be ramped down in post) DPs default to 180 degree shutter. 1/48 (or 1/50) vs. 1/120 sec is a big difference in sharpness.

I think it's still up for debate. We do experience motion blur in the real world. Our visual system has a threshold for perception of details, based on degrees of view per second (and how much our eyes pursue the moving object.) I don't think we have yet figured out exactly what is "supposed" to look blurry in a…

Explanation of frame rate and issues:

Have you actually watched stuff that was shot and 48fps or 60fps? It's subjective, but not merely sentimental. It really does make everything look oddly sharp.

Mine went through the washer...and dryer. Works fine. I use it every week. Awesome.
