Author Topic: Rick McKallum heard what Soderbergh said or viceversa Miguel Angel Martorell Film Handler Posts: 81 From: Valencia, Spain Registered: Jan 2002 posted 05-26-2002 06:10 PM                     I have no time to translate what he said (I´ve got it in spanish) but basically he says the same, digital is the best, that after 2 or 3 shows the film gets scratched, etc. but this guy goes beyond... He says all the people who bought the Episode 1 dvd probably heard and see this film better in his house than in a theatre cause dvd is a digital format. I have no words.....only Rick, kiss my a##. here is the address to the spanish translation http://pub32.ezboard.com/fmundodvd43132frm6.showMessage?topicID=3656.topic  |  IP: Logged Gerard S.

I note the responses there favor a return to films shot and projected in 70mm, rather than digital, similar to the majority Film-tech response, even though the Spanish website is for DVD fans. Going up one level, there is a wide range of Cinema topics there.

( but since it would blow off the little systems of Joe6packs, the mix was toned down 7-10dB on the dvd ! all this has been proven ). we want 70mm back or work digital with KODAK and JVC, who at least try to digitally emulate the best that the argentic can produce.  |  IP: Logged
