Yes, Paul Hurt mentioned the DV in the chat too. This is potentially a great example what we can expect to see 20-30 years from now on anything shot in 1080 or 4K digitally. We don’t know what tech will come along and actual film has the best chance at being unconverted to any resolution.
@@BrightSideHT DV is a broad range of qualities, MiniDV is a specific format and is the worst of the tape based DV formats. Terrible compression algorithm, but at the time it was revolutionary because it made quality cameras available at incredible price points. It made independent filmmaking accessible to the masses. Vanilla Sky also has some footage shot in MiniDV. Lucas was shooting with a much higher quality DV format. Film is still limited to a theoretical 5.6K resolution when scanned, and my camera you saw last year at CEDIA shoots 6K RAW. Blackmagic just announced a camera that will shoot 17K RAW for $15,000. I think we’ll be okay for our lifetimes, even upconverting. AI can very effectively upconvert footage these days, and it can make a huge leap as long as you have some sort of self control when setting the de-noise sliders (unlike Cameron). And the AI tools are getting better every six months, far outpacing the display resolution increases. If they wanted to make 28 Days Later look better and release in 4K, they could do it.
