Dude I would love to help you move and build that studio. I'm doing something similar at my house here in Albuquerque. I have a ton of crap in a storage unit that I hope to vacate in a few months and move it into my home storage/studio. It won't be as big a 'raise' as yours but it will be nice to have one less bill. You will HAVE to make videos of your progress!!!

Very cool and instructive video, thanks for sharing !

Best of luck in your upcoming endeavors, John! I've learned SO MUCH from your channel over the years and I would very much like to see more of it, especially "history of" and technical deep dives.

My favorite, "7 Brides for 7 Brothers". Not a remake of a Broadway play but a true Hollywood musical.

Very interesting information. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

Civil War and Challengers, both released by A24, are examples of the mid-budget cinema that Hollywood's biggest studios have abandoned due to greed, always wanting the big tentpole blockbusters. Both Civil War and Challengers were successful at the box office.

Studio executives are so stupid and don't understand anything about art and what actually makes people emotionally connected. Art is just a commoditty to those executives, and they don't even understand people's desires to connect with each other through art they love, through what they have in common, it's a basic human need. Sooner or later, that pure greed is gonna be the end of the big traditional Hollywood studios unless they change course. Quotes from Sony and Paramount's presidents show how deeply out of touch and deluded those executives are. I bet they don't even understand what is like being touched by a fictional story and characters. They are clueless. The search for pure short-term profit is gonna kill these studios in the long term.

Well I am in the 4th camp: What gear actually sounds like. My camp can't giva a 💩about other camps. When listening to my SMSL M7 (my first ever dedicated DAC ) I noticed a HUGE difference in quality between streaming and DSD 512 (SMSL M7 is not a DSD dac so signal it is converted to PCM, so I was actually listening to a PCM version of that DSD file), so I was convinced resolution is king. As I spend more and more money, now on Chord Qtest with 1000Euro linear PSU, I can say that all resolution does is keeping poor devices going completely off the rails. At this level the difference in mastering is bigger then the difference in format and resolution, making it basically a non factor. So bottom line is if hy rez files sound better, you need a better DAC. If it doesn't just play whatever you like and don't bother with it. Funny part is that the 3rd group, the "engineers" who are so well versed on "knowing the theory" can't really explain why hi rez file sound better on cheap DAC's, so excuse me for not taking these clowns seriously. The only engineers I want to hear, are those who actually build hi-end device because they proved to have the knowledge about how to do it.

John as whole cinema work on 24fps so does that 24fps is so fast that it is capturing photos so fastly that we did not feel that camera is capturing 24frames so fast that our eyes do not detect that images are capturing so fastly can you tell at what frame rate our eyes can feel that image is capturing

Anyway, about movie theatres. The main reason why people are not going there IMO are just convenient and unwillingness to bet 20$ on a forgettable movie. The best movie experiences I have recently is on the planes. Air travel are the most uncomfortable way to travel I know. Jetlagged little leg room, stressful. No wifi, 10KM over land. People don't talk much because they are stressed and sleepy. The headphones are great. I can paused whenever I want or I need to, to go to the toilet, or eat plane food. The movies are comfy. Since the selecttion are far smaller than streaming services, don't have the browse-endlessly syndrome. The movies, are curated, ranging from great to OK. Most movies in the world are just OK. Most movies of a genre shared the same features, like almost every human. You don't expect too much difference from each Rom-com, Horror, to each other. Your know there is going to be Romance and Jokes in a Rom-com. Death and Mystery in a horror. Competent action men in a Kungfu film,... etc. I don't watch Furiosa, or Mad Max, but I think I can get the gist. Why would I spent 20$ to drive there, listening to ads before the movie start, try to be punctual, cannot pause when I want, no subtitle, overpriced food for movies which I felt that already watch before? Last time I went to a movie theatre, they told me to buy ticket via phones. That's not convenient to me. I also don't want to watch any cinematic universe to get an idea of what's going on. If I walk to a cinema, I might check it out. But all the cinemas need to be driven to, and I could not just bother. For most people, the appeal of the theaters, are not the movies, but the group activities of friends and families. Chickflicks like Barbies are for girl's night out or with their date. Marvel and Star Wars films are for groups of nerdy friends. Film festivals would be for cinephiles. Asian film industry bring in the money last year. Groups of friend watches movies in cinemas, individuals watches movies at home. That's what killing the movie theaters. I think people just grew up, experience the more convenient streaming platforms, fewer rituals to adhere to. When your friend or date don't feel the need to pay money to go to the theater, and instead hang out at home, they can experience great films of over 100 years of cinema, instead of gambling on whether the recent stuffs is actually good enough.

I missed the stream, but I thought you were thinking of moving out of California, sold the overpriced house in this market and moved to Tennesse. Was that no longer the plan?

I thought Puritanism was long gone. Americans still have this problem with nudity. How do you even have sex with your clothes on? Here in Europe, it is no problem.

Awesome. Better than anything on the radio today for sure. Thanks for sharing!

make the walls - inside and out - white. Not off-white. Not country-white. Just. White. Better for everything.

For your "shed". b very careful about ground , electricity and DATA. The she will have its own ground, which will be different from your house's ground. Any wire between the two will carry current because of ground differential, so you have to isolate any ethernet or DSL copper links (or put fibre link between the 2 buildings ta which point ground differential doesn't matter. In a thunderstorm, voltage differential between the 2 buildings grounds can generate current strong enough to fry your electronics. Your default electrician may not be aware of issues with data links on copper.

Make sure you take pictures of your old studio so you can recreate it in your new studio.

That's a great idea, John.

Actually I prefer the colour of the raw WesLog in this one 😬

In your video, ar 04:12, you show two "digital" grey squares, one at 18% on left and one at 12% on right. How did you calculate the grey values in your software (Premiere of whatever video editing you use) ? I took a screen shot, pasted it into Photoshop, and your 18% square gave me 128,128,128 (which would be 50% brightness, while the 12% square gave me 107, 107, 107 which is 42% brightness. But switching to LAB, when I get L of 54 for the 18% , and the 12% gets L=45. Was expecting the L to match brightness of RGB values. In HSB mode, it matches the brightness of RGB (50% and 42%). So when in a digital world, is Middle Grey 50% brightness and your video is solely about what happens when a digital 50% is printed and then a light metre is pointed at it?

The biggest complaint I have about 24p is wide pan shots that move just fast enough to start looking stuttery. That takes me out of the experience ruining the immersion. Movies & TV do this all the time and I notice it every time.

Thanks John for all the content you produce. I have been bingeing on your channel better than Netflix. With the HFR debate what frame rate do you shoot for super slo mo if the delivery rate is 120 (24x5=120 for 1/5 playback. 600 fps x 1/5 =120. I love shooting slo mo but playback at 120 seems infeasible. Anyway thanks again for your informative videos it has opened up my eyes. Cheers

Brilliant explanations, still stunned by the magic of the history of the industry.

the talking between the two president was so funny

Would you get these over the mark m2???

Yellow and magenta pushes were pretty common all the way to the 2000s. In the Full HD era though, it seems that teal and orange became the new "plague", affecting not only color grading choices in New films, but also imposing those choices in restorations of many classic films! It's not hard to find many people online in video forums complaining about how horrible modern color grading often is in Hollywood blockbusters, and that the teal push is one of the major problems, like what they also call the piss-yellow. There's a funny article from 2010 called "Teal and Orange - Hollywood, Please Stop the Madness", but the issue is still not gone, see what Cameron did to The Abyss in the new remaster, bathing it in teal (though that's the least of the problems in Cameron's remasters...)

very interresting - but still my best sounding audio files are mixed 44.1 and 192 kHz

Even a year later, I agree 100%. I'm more addicted to finding negatives things in "new movies", but our daughter asked me while seeing the HFR Avatar 2 (she was at an age of 10 at that point) "Dad, why do the cars and birds are looking like toys?". Kids are are honest and ask what they currently think.

Great re-creation and Bowman imitation!

What about 40bit sound

Sound travels at 3ms per meter, while light is effectively instantaneous. When we're used to hearing a sound in our environment and see a corresponding visual stimuli, we naturally expect the sound to arrive 10-50ms later, purely due to physics. Which is about one frame.

dang didn't know i was so influential...

I went to see Furiosa yesterday and it was every bit as weak/lame/bad as you thought it was going to be based on the previews. I'm sorry, but it just wasn't that great of a story from the start. When you don't have a good story to tell from the very start the chances of making a good movie on top of that story are slim and none. Sure, there's wild action scenes and crazy explosions, but that's not enough to carry a movie in 2024. Maybe back in 1984 that would have worked, but it's just not going to cut it in 2024. When is Hollywood finally going to figure this out? And, how many more millions of dollars are they going to flush down the toilet on these failed film productions before they do? Or do they just like repeatedly losing millions of dollars time after time, year after year now?

Since UA-cam notifications absolutely refuse to work for this channel and tell me when you go live, could you post on Xitter at least? Those notifications work.

Great job 👍

This all sounds like gibberish :/

this was such a good video essay thank you so much!!

When certain movies or other pop culture things seem to fail in the marketplace and the public seems to not be interested, often the fault is not with the movie itself. I think for the most part it is simply that the public just isn't in the mood for the type of movie being offered at that moment. Perhaps if they'd waited for another moment to release it it would have been fine.

❤🎉😊

shorten these video by half please.....too long

Film sensitivity used to be measured in ASA. When/why did this change to ISO and is there a difference vbetween 400 ASA and 400 ISO ? Just a question of ASA being adopted by the ISO organisation? And in applying ISO values to digital cameras, was this an exercise of achieving woth say ISO 400, the same middle grey level on film and digital with same exposure/f-stop ? I had always though that the ISO setting on digital cameras really did make the sensor more sensitive by craming up voltage or something (hence more defects in image). You video shattered this and now I have to relears photography from scratch 🙂

3 years later, I stumble on your video on the synching of audio/video challenge with compression. My old stereo has parameters to adjust audio/video delays to ensure sync. Consider a source that supplies analogue audio and hdmi video on separate cables, the stereo would have no way to synch them as they are two separate and independent feeds. The digital to analogue conversion for audio would be done by one device and digital to hdmi by another. The TV itself introduces some latency between start of receiving frame data and it displaying the frame in full. (apparently very important to video gamers). Have to wonder if delays in encoders were purposefully introduced based on average delay of TVs displaying a frame but with TVs getting faster, those legacy delays now causing problems. Also curious if the delay behaviour is "reset" whenever the clip hits a key frame of whether the audio is "anchored" to video a keyframe effectively starting a new stream at that point.

te aplaudo de pie!. No he usado ningún NLE de Adobe, pero deduzco que Fusion de Davinci Resolve, específicamente a través del Delta Keyer es el mejor, pues permite en muy pocos clics borrar fondos verdes desparejos. Y esto es debido a que dicho nodo puede recibir la señal de otro nodo con el vídeo del fondo verde SIN EL SUJETO/OBJETO interpuesto. ¿Me hago entender? Gracias John!

Nyquist/Shannon weren't wrong, it's just that people fail to understand what the sampling theorem says. It has nothing to do with human hearing capabilities or the best audio quality. It just tells you the minimum sampling rate you need for a signal to capture it completely without losing any information.

you forgot transition points like. Don't try every transition the switcher has live on the air. use mainly cuts or cross-fades only and only one or two 'Cool' transitions when going to/from an offshoot.

Are made for tv movies shot in 24 fps?

Great review! I've been considering getting a wireless microphone and this one seems like a solid choice.

I was a kid in the 1060s living in a small town in southern Minnesota. We had a couple movie theaters that sold a box of popcorn for 15 cents, but it was not buttered. Buttered popcorn at these particular theaters sold for 25 cents and it was in a smaller container. There was an older man who was handicapped and had to use a wheelchair; he had a popcorn stand that he would drive all over the city and sell a box of corn that had a lot of butter that he would squirt from a bottle in your box. His regular box of popcorn was 10 cents. Everybody wanted his corn. I remember seeing long lines in the summer, people waiting to get his corn. We would also sneak this corn in the movie theaters, some people were caught. The corn had lots and lots of butter. Your hands were loaded with butter when you ate it--so you would need a napkin. I'm not sure but to get such large crowds of people after his corn I think he might have added sugar to the butter.

The reason for PAL being a 625-line system is that *other* countries than Britain (a majority) had already been using a 625-line black&white standard, and had become the majority of the European continent already; and, for these viewers, PAL *was* backward compatible. To make switch from 405 to 625 lines simultaneously with the introduction of color was a smart practical choice to make.
