i'm usually not impressed by numbers, but... more resolution should mean less risk of moires, less noise with downsampling, better manage of RS (i hope), and more... then i not need also a 4k camera (i had 4k, 6k, 4.6k, uhd cam), but is very useful to have more resolution like option to do better, if not cost too much...
I think Sony hide a real revolution on AF, be cause also if not seems a great change, to keep in focus a 8k video, they should update and do better Af algorithm and i think this evolution will be developed also for more "user" cameras.
Sony give me in the last twenty years best AF and best stabilizer in video on broadcast and semi procamera, also if actually i not use daily Sony products, i admire this feature.

uhm.. mah mah mah...
i was so lucky to be in the theather where Spielberg present JP at Venice, Italy, i saw it many times at theather, i had all realease in vhs, laserdisk, dvd, BD...
i understand very well the difference between different media and i had a good experience about different media, i'm also a filmaker and do and teach color correction with Resolve, but too often today i see release that are too much enhanced for a tv/mobile/old videogame (newer are astonish) audience, especially for a movie born for theather. The strong power of JP when go out, and today after over twenty years is color palette natural, not enhanced, like a documentary, that allow to digital and mechanical dinos to be beleiveable. Think to the last JP with enhanced color with Orange and teal, seems a Tranformer episode, and dinos seems less credible than old work on JP.
I understand that is Matter of taste, but a movie born for theather was developed like color, contrast, color saturation around light reflected screen, pump up contrast/midtones, color to force an HDR version (also when is not HDR) transform it in a bad videogame from 2000'...
I remember to read an article where someone decide to do a HDR version of Sicario, and recover all HIghlights of windows in a scene where Deakins to burn it to add drama to scene, and obviously the mood of scene change and reduce the drama of scene.
I had many version of old B movie called Cat'sEyes, story based on Stephen King stories, and BD version had a completely different color, night scene that originally are dim reduced now are bluish desatured scene, flat be cause someone put only a blue gradient on it and not work to build a real blue developing (not builded originally), change color to add orange and teal in many scene, changing mood, changed a green which was a modern mood where hoor should have acid green every where.
Colorist decide to change the work of Dop, the work fo dress maker, of set designer...
like filmaker i'm against this kind of operation, be cause often betray the original work of these artist... only for a modern mood.
Anyway i know is a matter of taste :-P

there are many Ai driven tool that regenerate frame from few frame, are good for slowmotion or to repair damaged frames, but like here, it's only an experimental tool.
If the author choose Harryhousen it's only be cause himself admire his work.

i'm italian, forget the declaration, i know very well the truth, censorship will continue to be a dramn for many years for authors and for viewers...
italian burocracy is slow and before you can build a master without censorship and you can distribute it will pass many century...

A good anwer to all pixel peeper that told "without real raw i cannot do my youtube series" :-P
Seriously, Avatar was shoot in HdCam SR, a 10 bit 4:2:2 h264 step 2 codec...
And today after China theathers additional viewing it stay on to of the world of Box Office.
I love the ability of postpro of raw, but today if people use correctly its cameras, its lights, it's lenses, every single camera can delivery a gorgeous picture.

less productive, i need social interaction, i love my work for the chance to meet and interact with people, exchange experience and feedback.
i hate social distance.
anyway, i learned more about postproduction and Ai developing, but less than previous years, here in italy we are used to meet people and lockdown was very hard period for me.
