Film formats still rule, but I’m curious what comes next. What I’m seeing in the mainstream is large-format 65 mm / IMAX 70 mm film, which feels like a premium big-screen experience, almost too premium to access nearby.
VistaVision is being used more often as a cheaper way to get to IMAX or 70mm projections sizes. The gear and filmstock is less expensive for production and you can laser out to the other formats at roughly the same resolution you capture at.
Film formats are out for a long time already. No cinema has film projectors, everybody went digital only already. Only very very few still can do 70mm for the tiny percentage of superstar vintage directors.
Super 16 was one of the best formats. All the film schools had only 16 mm cameras, certainly not 35mm. And all the best revolutionary 70ies productions were shot on cheap 16mm in natural light. This changed with Spielberg and the new blockbuster approach, and then the depressing Reagan years when everybody went back into the studio with huge lighting efforts and psychological dramas.
Mumblecore and Dogma 95 brought back some pure 16mm with post blowup efforts (cinemas only had 35mm projectors then), but digital with the Arri Alexa and Red killed that.
Next is better projector technology for cheap. The format and camera wars are over.
I'm sure there are still some stubborn old directors shooting movies on film but aren't most shot digitally today? And even those shot on film are surely immediately scanned so post processing can be done digitally? Can't imagine anyone is still sitting with razor blades and splicing tape putting scenes together.
Films are mostly post processed digitally - but some, like Oppenheimer, are color graded the old optical way. While Dune was shot digitally, printed on film, then scanned back in again!
Good take, I also did a similar thing with Gemini, Where we had to generate personalized advice based on Habits, Tasks done and Surveys taken by the user. All these were in JSON format, I gave it and asked to generate a piece of advice.
I got started in coding via roblox, when i was below 18, but we had groups of people of our similar age collaborating together and forming game studios. We did commissions as well which were paid. So if we alter the perspective on that then anyone can call it a child labour. But mostly the kids here just enjoy the experience as a whole
Tom and jerry is popular as it kept the kids engaged and since there's only action involved, anyone could watch it regardless of age, i remember seeing old people watching tom and jerry with joy, that's why the numbers are high.
