  • I saw creation, invention and hard work in there. sure, there are resources available to make it happen more smoothly or make it more comfortable during times of rest, but that does not belittle the process.

  • must be amazing working on something like that

    Fun thing is that I, for example, hate such films.
    It is much more interesting to work and talk with real guys, who are hard working, inventing something, creating something. This are real heroes of real movies, not the fucking hobbits.

  • must be amazing working on something like that

  • One word,

    UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE.

  • Love the linear motion rails...

  • Excellent.

  • @johnnym
    Have you seen King kong and Lovely bones? lol
  • Just LOVE the line: "3D is now so easy"

    Hehehehe,...haha..hehe (especially easy when you have dual camera heads with 6 degrees of freedom computer controlled with a f__koff rig etc...)
  • 30p always looks wrong to me. However i cannot imagine Jackson, who is i think one of the most interesting directors of all time, would use 48fps without checking the consequences thoroughly.

    @mimirsan
    I think Jackson has proven to use technology functionally and supporting the story. He's really a storyteller.
  • Talk about a good promo for Red there!
    If the 3D ends up looking like shit then it'll be a epic fail (pun maybe intended) and will all theatres get on board with this?
    A lot of money is being thrown at this new tech hard to tell if it'll pay off in the long run as the 3D fad is waning.

    Off topic saw Tin tin the other day...it had a starwars 3D trailer beforehand...looked like shit! Everything looked like cardboard cutouts placed in front of each other.
    As for Tin tin...started off great then proceeded to jab you in the face with its 3Dness and put story,character development secondary...I was bored by the end.
    This is the problem with a lot of 3D films.

    I hope The Hobbit 1 & 2 does not end up like a tech demo rather than decent films.
    LOTR trilogy are great flaws and all.
  • 4k 48p is future-proof just in case such TV becomes cheap. I guess 3D demands more attentions on skintones and saturation calibration. By the way I'm gonna name my GH1, GH2, and GF3... like Dopey, Grumpy, Happy.
  • I'm really looking forward to this movie, the scale of it is off the charts! The thing about increasing the red in skintones and oversaturating the colors in real life and the fabric just cause of how the camera behaves is interesting.
  • I was wondering of most cinemas are actually capable of playing 48p, this will be a first in the industry.
  • And i ask myself how much useful can it be....
  • I have to second that: WOW!

    Thats the technical most interesting insight in actual state of the art film making in many month.

    I think the biggest advance will be the 48 fps. A lot of people were bitching about 24 fps beeing the only way ever...which I think is just wrong. I hope Peter with a movie built from scratch for 48 fps will prove that.

    And this to guys making set drawings side-by-side in 3D are just absolutely crazy ;-)
  • I'm curious to see the 48p 3d 5k in an imax theater :P I liked the lord of the rings and i loved the first peter jackson's movies.
    However.... 48 red epic :P... lucky guy
