Loved this, still a visionary. Agree totally about the vision for a more efficient cinema, a true master, a true gentleman.
Great interview, great artist! But if I do think that higher dynamic range and higher resolution will be (are?) game changers in the industry, I also do think that the imersiveness of a movie is more about the way it is shot.
Lets take a movie like Gaspar Noë’s Enter the void, for example… It’s shot super 16, in a way no movie was shot before (the POV of a floating soul), but at the end, it moves your guts more than most of “expo kind of film” shot in 70mm that I’ve seen.
Well, I do think that emotion is the main aspect that drives imersiveness, if that makes sense.
Anyway, appreciate a lot to be able to listen such an interesting person. Thanks to FXguide.
Anyone know what movie poster is behind him in this interview?
Great interview……
Hi mediumvfx, it’s actually the Adelaide Film Festival promo poster behind Douglas.
Lo and Behold! Mr. Trumbull is foraging on with his plans at high FPS and stereo filming! Any plans to revisit the interview and give him the chance to update
