Disco Stu 15,495 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Yes, but the shorts categories at least are generally a chance for more down-to-earth folks (and aspiring big shots) to win Oscars. At least in the live-action categories. Animated is often for Pixar/Disney to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyD 1,223 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Update: "Dear Basketball" will be released this winter. Link: http://dearbasketball.com/ As much as I loved watching the Maestro perform it live to projection with Kobe Bryant narrating, I am looking forward to seeing this masterpiece with the Maestro's original recording; not to mention seeing the detail of Glen Keane's wonderful animation. This is an inspiring piece of art. A special thanks to Kobe Bryant, Glen Keane, and Maestro John Williams. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment, the audio is only accessible via real-time playback of the stream. 18 minutes ago, filmmusic said: Aaaaah, i cannot see the video! is it the complete film in great quality? Yes, complete. Video looks great. Audio isn't all that great. EDIT: Audio is essentially band-limited to ~13 kHz, meaning it's no better than 32 kHz sampling rate. And there are very noticeable compression artifacts. filmmusic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
