could this mean an increase on the movie ticket?

darn..good question...i sure hope not...otherwise theyll have to blame low box office sales on..something else again

I really don't think they will increase movie ticket prices many ppl are all ready waiting for movies to come out on DVD and Theater audiances are down historicly so why would they want to push more customers away? But these are the same ppl who head orgs like the MPAA so....

Wow, it's nice to see some effort towards actually giving the consumer what they pay for. Although, it won't effect me because I'm nowhere near any of those places.

i hate how in movie theatres,when a movie's playing,that like random grey dots appear.it's not easy to recognize but sometimes you can catch it.and people who tape movies are happy about this because now their shit quality movies wont look half as bad :P

Shame that actual Movies probably won't live upto that High resolution for a while,so it's detailed grain or blocking unless your on the back seats but then you're probably not watching the film anyway :P
I was hoping that 3D would make a comeback what with the High resolutions and all.There is just not enough incentive for me to go back to cinemas unless they can get the WOW factor back.
Also maybe this is the beginning of Sony's plan to upgrade it's own
Full-HD slogan with something else down the line like TrueRealHonestlyFull HD or something... ;D

It could actually mean a drop in prices as the industry would be saving money. Films are originally in digital and then placed on the reels which are expensive and time consuming.

How do I get some used projectors!!!???

Are movies even filmed at 4096 x 2160 resolution? Are they just upconverting the movie?

Yeah, I'm more excited about the 3D technology they want to put in theaters, maybe that will be enough to get me to buy a ticket. Haven't been in a movie theater is over 5 years.

I hate movie theaters. They make me so sick! They're as bad as the RIAA!

$10.00 for a ticket? As if that wasn't bad enough. $15.00 for a little bag of popcorn and a drink? WTF is with this system? No wonder everyone is a pirate...

vinny13 get yourself a wife, they have the purses to put those drinks in (mine will). I am the same way about those prices, they steer me away from paying to see the movie when the dvd is only a few months later.

this camera will also shoot laser beams at you if you try to record theater movies

Psh, wife? I'm 17 and all I need is a slightly bigger jacket. Just get something a little bigger and you'll have space to put your soda, junkfood, portable gaming device in case the movie sucks, etc. And no, if the movie sucks, don't walk out. You payed for that movie, you're going to sit there for it. It's not like you get a refund for leaving early.

=/ films are filmed on film.... Then they go digital and use NLE(like Avid) and special effects, and then it's back to film. Not to bust balls, but films are originally on film. Your exception is HD which isdigital, then printed to film. But film is far more popular than HD today.

You make a good point, but as you said..."then its back to film"...why not just cut out the added expensive step?

Here's a good article on this:

"How many pixels are there in a frame of 35mm film?"

What this means is that a 5300 x 4000 digital camera would produce a shot equivalent to a scan from a quality 35mm camera -- provided you could get more than 8 bits per pixel. You could blow up the 35mm shot a little bit more and see a little bit more, but only at the cost of producing a grainy image. Chances are a 3000 x 2000 digital camera would match the 35mm for a good percentage of shots.

In addition for motion pictures:

Quote:

---

35 mm original camera negative motion picture film can resolve up to 6,000 lines.

Sequences from newer films are scanned at 2,000, 4,000 or even 8,000 columns (line measured the other directions), called 2K, 4K and 8K, for quality visual effects editing on computers.

In other words, there's no upconversion going on since 35mm film has the ability to store more information.

Its good to see movie theaters moving more towards digital projections and I hope to see the trend continue into the future

My sentiments exactly.

I don't even bother going to the cinema anymore. Besides the poor movies lately, the lower-quality picture, annoying audiences (usually teenagers txting throughout the movie; you know, those bright squares alight in front?), high prices all conspire to drive me away from the theaters.

I just wait a couple of months for the DVD and rent it for $1.
