1080p's 25% of the pixel of 4k, so it's hard to see any TF gap between XSX/PS5 making a difference in HD. We still don't know if MS are going to release the 4Tf Lockhart/S for poverty gamers. It makes sense if it it's enough to run games at 1080p. It doesn't work well if a significant part of next gen game performance doesn't scale well with resolution.

Well, they haven't said the XSX is cheap than that yet.

I hope it's called Seamstresses of Exegol and focuses entirely on the heartwarming tale of a group of women having to come together and make enough robes for when Rey shows up at the big Sith ceremony.

The parallel orgin story of Gotham was really weak. It probably unavoidable given the focus on Arthur.

Kind of. Similar massive screens but they used real footage shot at the top of mountains. They didn't need to shift perspective like many of the Mandalorian's virtual sets. UE4's pipeline lets you go in and touch up around the edges to blend them better. You can also overlay a bit of green screen in the projection if need to. You can also throw fill lights onto the screen as well if you like. It's ace.

Why's he on a bike. Has he lost his powers as well as the ability to shave?

Love that something as non fantastical as the office can be using this technique as well. I'd never have guessed.

ILM have posted their own video on the virtual / LED backdrop sets.

The cross platform save in this is really handy

I realise that I've totally mixed up Spektre and Skyfall as the only bits I remember between the two films are some nice shots with a video wall backdrop and a moody Scottish house.

The Bond producers are always angling for an Oscar by the sounds of it. They were going to use Radiohead's Man of War on Spectre until they realised it wasn't an original track so ineligible. They then rejected Spectre for reasons best know to themselves, because it's a cracking track. Probably because having more than one thing about the film that wasn't total bobbins was probably too much for them, and they already had Roger Deakins awesome cinematography.

I fell asleep during episode 4. I didn't think I was that tired. My bordom threshold seems to lower with age.

If they haven't found a way to avoid stupid eye makeup I'll be mildly annoyed.

Finally got round to watching this. The first couple of episodes were interesting enough but didn't really grab me. After that it really picked up. It seems really happy to not take the easy option with character dilemmas, especially in the later episodes. Some properly gut wrenching stuff. Season 2 is a must watch for me. Hoping it doesn't lose too much charm as history deviates more.

Can't decide if this deserved the VFX Oscar for the fantastic burning church or if the win is a disgrace because of the crappy bridge shot.
