That's a cold hard fact!This was before RED cameras and other modern digital cameras existed, mind you!Anyways, it was transferred to 35mm film for screenings, though there was also a limited number of digital screenings too.

King Mark 3,631 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I usually pay attention to image quality and I don't remember anything horribly wrong with the SW prequels in the cinema Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,374 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 That's cause there isn't. Plus don't forget being transferred to 35mm helps blur it somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 ah ok., there's a re-transfer to filmWhat I meant is that the movie doesn't look like a home video on YouTube shot on a cheap camera from Best buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,374 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Yea, the cameras and lenses were all top notch stuff totally appropriate for a big budget film - the only issue is that the "negative" is 1920x1080, always and forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I think Daniel Mindel mentioned the actual film stock they'll be using on Episode VII,What was it? If it's a modern fine grain/low contrast stock and the film will still be graded to buggery, then the choice of film over digital is pointless - except as a marketting gimmick to win back fans of the OT.

Not Mr. Big 4,642 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 There was no way that it was going to look like the original trilogy anyway. DarthDementous 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I expect it'll look more like Star Trek into Darkness than Star Wars. Also, if they'd really want that film look back in the cinemas, they'd go the extra mile and ditribute 35mm prints to the theatres that still have old fashioned film projectors (which would actually be incredibly expensive to do, so they won't). I'm tired of digital cinema projection. Bring back the magic of film into the cinema! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 There was no way that it was going to look like the original trilogy anyway. They could have shot it on Kodack 5247, like STAR WARS, EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, ALIEN etc. That would be a start.
