Author Topic: Haywire "out-of-focus"? Ross Oba Expert Film Handler Posts: 181 From: Kailua Kona, HI Registered: Oct 2005 posted 01-20-2012 09:25 PM                     Hi all, Just wanted to throw a quick question up. Is it just me or is 'Haywire' slightly out of focus. I am certain it isn't a problem on our end as the trailers have excellent focus. But the e movie appears to be filmed with soft focus since some scenes seem to be intentionally out of focus. However close ups on faces appear fine. This was also the case with the trailer for the movie.  |  IP: Logged Victor Liorentas Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: london ontario canada Registered: May 2009 posted 01-20-2012 10:30 PM                     The trailers of Haywire are very very soft but I have not run the feature yet.  |  IP: Logged Ross Oba Expert Film Handler Posts: 181 From: Kailua Kona, HI Registered: Oct 2005 posted 01-20-2012 11:51 PM                     After running FilmGuard a few times (one heavy application) it seems to have sharpened somewhat but as I mentioned it was probably the way it was shot.  |  IP: Logged Stephen Frazza Expert Film Handler Posts: 161 From: Nutley, NJ, USA Registered: Mar 2004 posted 01-21-2012 12:15 AM                        I agree with you Ross. Our print also seemed odd or maybe it was how it was shot, but yes a lot of scenes seemed like they were in and out of focus at the same time.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-21-2012 07:25 AM                     I don't know about you guys but I think there's some irony in this situation.  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 01-21-2012 01:33 PM                    Our digital copy has a soft focus to it. All of the trailers were sharp with no focus issues but the feature it self did have some strange focusing things going on with it. There is one shot that was intentionally out of focus for a few seconds.  |  IP: Logged Kerry Fleming Film Handler Posts: 46 From: Boynton Beach, FL, USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 01-21-2012 02:46 PM                        Just another low budget production. My print is soft too. Sound is nothing to brag about either!  |  IP: Logged Victor Liorentas Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: london ontario canada Registered: May 2009 posted 01-21-2012 03:14 PM                     Yeah running it now.
