Author Topic: Holes Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-09-2003 10:18 PM                        Good film...definitely recommended. Although I don't normally bother to watch anything that's marketed as a "family film," I'm glad I saw this. It's fun for the kids and adults, and (unlike way too many "kids' movies") it doesn't underestimate the intelligence of its audience. This is a refreshing break from a long line of crappy "family" films released over the last year or so (cough...Country Bears...Kangaroo Jack...cough).  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 05-10-2003 02:40 AM                     You know I was looking at a part of this film tonight and I think I would enjoy it even more on a second viewing. I guess I was involved in the story a bit, but tonight I noticed just how good of a job the D.P. did on this film. The image really jumps out at you with fantastic contrast and sharpness, especially when you are looking at it on a screen that is way over SMPTE luminance specs. Rarely do I watch a movie twice that didn't blow me away the first time, but I think I'm going to give this one a second viewing.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 05-12-2003 02:37 PM                        quote: The image really jumps out at you with fantastic contrast and sharpness, especially when you are looking at it on a screen that is way over SMPTE luminance specs. I agree that "Brighter is Better", but going above the range of 12 to 22 footlamberts specified in SMPTE 196M may risk flicker (unless a three-blade shutter is used), and may show too MUCH detail in the shadow areas: http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/newsletters/pytlak/spring98.shtml I've projected normal prints made from well-exposed negatives at 60 footlamberts (using a three-blade shutter), and the results are amazing!  |  IP: Logged
