Cold weather videography can be challenging and is plagued with danger for the production gear. Driving rain and snow can ruin unprotected gear, while extreme cold can shorten battery life and threaten a range of devices in the production chain. Here are some ways to be prepared for winter weather shoots.
Within broadcast there has always been a quest for higher and higher resolution with improvements in wider color fidelity. The quest has always been to deliver what we see to the audience, often this is limited by technology or cost of production, but today there is the possibility to increase the resolution to 4K/UHD with High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Wide Color Gamut (WCG) that can convey that window on the world to the consumer.
Systems intended to convey color images all need to have a defined white point for practical reasons. The white point is where the luminance axis passes through the plane of the chromaticity diagram on its way from black to white.
IBM Research has made a discovery that could help eliminate the need for heavy metals in battery production. This would aid environmental protection and eventually transform the long-term sustainability of portable energy production.
There’s a terrible tendency in cinematography to concentrate too much on the technology, overlooking creative skills that often make a huge contribution. In the last two pieces of this series we’ve gone into some detail on the historical background to current camera technology. In this last piece on the art and science of sensors and lenses, we’re going to consider what difference all this makes in the real world.
Video compression, bonded cellular technology and cellular networks have evolved to the level that giant planned events like the Super Bowl no longer challenge cellular service adequacy.
This year’s Super Bowl will be the first to offer 5G connectivity to fans in the stadia – but 5G contribution is a little way off.
