Early Access - "CD / Resolution"

Giovani da Costa

How hard you work Captain! I admire your work!!!

Yeah - and where the heck did that 'X' come from?! (Not to mention voxels and texels).

Per Albert Einstein: "Everything should be made as simple as possible - but not simpler." - heck you didn't even mention the arcane 1970's flight simulation trick of dynamically varying the resolution in order to maintain frame rate under varying computational loads...

Loving this series! Thanks for all the hard work you put in.

Great work. It may not be getting any simpler for you to create, but damn, it's all worth it for us plebes!

Captain Disillusion

Thanks. Yep! Made it with Blender & AE.

Is It Real

This was great! Please do one of these on how old films are changed from 240p black and white to HD color!

Bloody hell you re my hero! :)

Konan Palmer

Great episode! Did you have to recreate that portion of the IMAX vanity card?

Absolutely Nobody

I absolutely love the way you sign off for these CD episodes.

I suggest you check out his other 3 most recent videos :)

The video seems to be truncated, isn't it? Or is it a problem with my browser's playback...

You completely forgot to mention the importance of using Gluten-Free Monster Cables to deliver the highest quality pixels. Surely you don't want the toxins in the wires leaking into the bits.

Pixels is short for picture elements, embarrassed to say I didn't know that.

Break the rules! Never compromise on your outstanding production quality!

I think the time is perfect, there are subject more complex than other, feels normal to be a bit longer if needed!

I saw Avatar in IMAX 3d when it came out. It was well shot (rendered) of course and finished with impeccable quality. Which was magnified in IMAX format. It looked amazing! A friend of mine worked on the movie as a compositor. He has assured me a few times that the film was built at 1920x1080. I am pretty sure if it looked good in IMAX it will be fine everywhere else. I have friends who have said 4k looks different than HD on their 4k tv, so I guess it does. But mostly, 1920x1080 works well for human eyes.

I used just the compression part of Red Giant's Glitch plug-in. I'm sure there are ways to do it with stock effects, but I was being lazy!

Captain Disillusion

Nice!

Captain Disillusion

Thanks! I mean... I did cover analog/digital pretty extensively in the frame rate episode. I'll also be touching more on it in the upcoming video on interlacing.

By the way, how do you do that awesome effect where both the resolution _and_ compression change in the beginning? I've always tried to mess with simulating compression in after effects but I can't seem to get it right.

Ha! Casted this video as soon as I saw it and when you mentioned it being played in a theater I was delighted that I'm probably the first to do so! https://i.imgur.com/85HIDjy.jpg

Early broadcast tv was actually analog, the switch over to digital was pretty recent. Great episode, though! Love the lineart graphics of the camcorders and projectors!

Great video as always, D! Dink Thifferent.

Even though I expected it, I still felt blue balled at the end.

Nice
