Philips Ad - incredible

Ambilight is crap and annoying, stick a white light behind the tv and be done.

The tv is crap, will cost the earth, and will no doubt have the horrid fundamental problems that philips tvs still have, like not even displying films properly (24fps with 3:2 pulldown).

Why would there by 3:2 pulldown? The source material will be 24fps and you can guarantee the tv will do 24hz (presumably 120hz)

Errrrr my 42" does fine in 16:9, no black lines.
Don't need a "fancy" tv for this.

Wow!? Your tv can display 2.35:1/2.40:1 movie material, full screen without cropping or stretching the source? AMAZING, you sir have a one of a kind set there, better tell the manufacturers so they can take it back and decipher the alien (and impossible) technology that has infected your tv.

:rolleyes:
 
Step through around the back of the estate car, as you go around the rear corner, it's way off perspective and moves to the left behind the man.
Also look through the rear windows of the car it looks clear through the other side, get round the other side and there's 1 guy by the front wheel and the two guys on the side. seatbelt disappears too.
(the volvo estate with the clown being dragged out of)

Still REALLY good though, great effect, must have taken ages.

Moving through entire rooms of frozen action for over a minute is rather at the far end of "special effects".

I'm only guessing from experience here but I would say that they most likely had a very fast moving camera with a very high capture rate that went through so fast and was slowed down so much that you can barely make out any movement in the actors, that and having the actors freeze as well as the can (strings holding the mid air actors) should work. The only issue I can see is the motion blur of the camera but with sufficiently fast shutter times that wouldn't be a problem.

Have a look at the first directors commentary part to see the track that the camera is on.

I'm guessing that's where the actual loop from end to start occurs, good eyes. I didn't even notice that first time around ;)

surely a wall/line of cameras matirx style ? *or even matrix*

Thinking about it, I think this is correct, there's lots of opportunities to cut between scenes, so lots of still images of each scene cut together from different angles could work.
1st scene cuts at the volvo, second one as it enters the building, third one as the camera moves up into the second floor etc.

That's what I thought at first but there are too many areas where you should be able to see the wall of cameras. I know they could have shopped them out but it doesn't look that way to me.

Also if you look at the first directors cut you can see they used a track not a line of cameras.

The camera never doubles-back/looks at itself/where its been either.

Cinema reel is considerably higher quality that 1080p. A lot of projectionists arent up to the task though, hence the recent popularity of 4k digital projection in theatres.

Yea the first fake directors bit there.

That's probably at the end of the loop as I said above.

As for doubling back on itself just think about how it moved down the hall following it's own position?? ;)

Thank god. Finally an excuse to upgrade my 65" DLP.

Hey someome else that owns a DLP. I own a 45" Sagem DLP and it still is better than most of the LCD and Plasma stuff you can buy at the moment.

I've never understood why DLP never took of in this country, it's still huge in the US.
