Daniel Schulz Master Film Handler Posts: 387 From: Los Angeles, CA USA Registered: Sep 2003 posted 03-14-2019 06:53 PM                        I was just asked and didn't know the answer - were the standard DCPs for Captain Marvel 2K or 4K? Anyone able to confirm?  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

They're still doing that despite the giant gains in computer rendering horsepower. All the performance improvements are just directed at rendering 2K even faster.  |  IP: Logged Jarod Reddig Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 513 From: Hays, Ks Registered: Jun 2011 posted 03-27-2019 11:58 AM                     Yes I should of said created and mastered. Thats a shame Bobby and doesn't surprise me. Its amazing how big the budget is for paying actors yet most corners cut in many other areas. I guess there has to be a cutoff but still.  |  IP: Logged Martin Brooks Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 900 From: Forest Hills, NY, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 03-29-2019 02:34 PM                        It might have been 2K, but at the Dolby Cinema where I saw it, it looked damned good. Would it have looked better if it had been completely rendered in 4K? The truth is, I don't know. Maybe if it was even sharper, it would have started to look hyper-real like HFR does and IMO, that wouldn't have been good.  |  IP: Logged Jarod Reddig Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 513 From: Hays, Ks Registered: Jun 2011 posted 03-30-2019 01:53 PM                     I know with UHD BD discs the ones that are done with a 4K digital intermediate look head and shoulders better then the ones from a 2K digital intermediate. They are few and far between so far. Im sure a DCP would be the same.  |  IP: Logged
