Thank YOU! Regardless of everything done to create a perfect print, it all comes down to quality projection. Without it, nothing that we’ve done matters.
Those thousands of 70mm clip were cut by hand by my long-time assistant Joanne and her wife Linda. They were quite particular, and hundreds of feet of that first AP ended up as trash.
The overall concept of that boxed set came from CBS-Fox exec Ken Ross. A class act. The set also contained a...
Very few theaters have proper maskings, and even fewer are able to run 2.21:1. If you’d like to see film properly projected, visit the Bedford Playhouse. Running Ben-Hur Roadshow in April in 2.76:1.
There should be nothing in MFL that appears awkward or unusual in 4k. A few of the hairpieces always looked odd. There are no tech problems in the original photography. A few attributes were fixed that were a bit too highly resolved derived from the 8k scan, but if anything appears odd, it’s a...
I can only relate from personal experience the amount of frustration, angst and wasted time, attempting to get my own credits straightened out. I’ve given up, as some important projects which once appeared, are now missing.
Understood.
WB delivered c. 200 cartons of elements to CBS in 1971. About a third of those were junked, as unnecessary. Not an unusual occurrence for the era.
Many of the extras carried over for the 4k, were originally prepared for the 2015 CBS Blu-ray. Elements such as the 70mm prints of lighting (rain) tests and Mr. Hyde-White fitted with a hairpiece. WB was extremely helpful in searching their vaults for anything that remained as bits of MFL...
Ms Hepburn pre-recorded all of the songs, but the ones that you'll hear are made up from lines, bits, pieces and phrases, with Ms Nixon adding the finishings touches to Loverly.
I've mentioned this before, that during the many attempted takes at recording sessions, what shines through is Ms...
What is being reported as “smearing” - presuming the artifacts are all during pans, might be picket-fencing, a problem endemic to shots of 24fps or less. Shooting at 30fps (Todd-AO) seems to solve.
Since this is not a tele-Cine, all work is performed with individual still frames. The film has...
Not certain about that because of 30fps. DCPs, especially at 500 mb/s are spectacular. As to the image harvest, Ok is derived from an IP, which is fine.
