Carb rebuild

Hey k2-k6 be good to compare notes one day.
The most fun is natural history, they use every possible available camera/format, preferably never used before, film across 2/3 years, across multiple countries and continents all lit by god and then they want to look like one continuous sequence of shots.
Fast, cheap or good. Choose any two....

A good mate of mine was a TV news editor before retiring. He pulls his hair out now because of the really poor sound quality on news reports. Budget cuts mean reporters using mobile phones or tablets to record, usually no remote microphone or sound cancelling technology. Sound levels are all over the shop and often unlistenable.

Don't get me started.
Well just one anecdote.
Its worse in the cinema world as projectionists don't exist anymore.
The digital projectors just require a file of the correct type and the operators literally can either download a file or plug in a memory stick and hit play.
As long as it's the right movie for the schedule and there's picture and sound roughly in sync they are happy.
I worked on a Shaun the Sheep film and we spent hours checking everything was correct as "film" colour space is different to TV so it was a little new to us.
We did most of the work inn Bristol on our kit then the final colour tweak on a big screen in London with producer, director and director photography in attendance.
All good, what could possibly go wrong.
Delivery file made and there was a screening at a local cinema in Bristol for all the crew and families.
150 people at the viewing and speeches etc and then we all settle down to watch.
The pictures bore very little resemblance to the colours we have given them over many many hours, the projector was completely screwed.
The DOP and I just looked at each other and held our heads.
Tra la.
Hence the imortal buck passing phrase "It was alright leaving me"
In short at the cinema you might get the right "look" but might well not, but who would know.
