I love hearing Barry Sonnenfeld rant about this.

It’s relevant that this isn’t a recent interview (I’m guessing 2017-2019?), Arri now has multiple Alexa variant to satisfy streamers mandate. Core of his piss off seems to be that he was stuck using a RED or Sony Venice, which is 100% valid limitation.

Oh, absolutely. And it's not like I 100% agree with everything he says in the full thing, either. But it's interesting to hear his thoughts on it, given his career.

This argument just seems kinda incoherent when thinking about how a lot of films were originally shot and filmed in 35mm which has a higher resolve than 4k

Difference between capturing on analogue vs capturing on digital.

4K was invented so filmmakers could crop and recompose shots in post without having to sacrifice resolution for a 1080p delivery. That's now the reason 8K exists.

Some of this doesn’t make sense, eg the moire pattern is not caused by sensor resolution. You can have high contrast ratio cinematography in digital cameras outside the Alexa

This is just a recording of me talking to my friends after a movie 😭

ARRI released Alexa LF and Alexa 65 for this purpose. Both resolve more than 4K. Moire rarely happens on modern cinema cameras because of included OLPF filters and direct pixel to pixel read-out. It is much more common on DSLRs and mirrorless but no one shoots movies on them.

I may have finally understood where what I started calling "the Netflix effect" originates. I mean that strong vignetting that all Netflix exclusives have (it was very noticeable in The Sandman, but also in Wednesday for example).

Are the filters why streaming tv shows are so gray ?
