Create Your Own 3D Projection Mapping on Tokyo Skyline

Anna Richardson Taylor of Creative Review writes: Creative director Tsubasa Oyagi has conjured a dazzling interactive website for Japanese property developer Mori Building that allows users to create their own virtual light show, projection-mapped onto a miniature model of Tokyo. The project, Tokyo City Symphony, was created to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Roppongi Hills, one of Japan's largest property developments. Visitors to the website can 'compose' an eight-second snippet of music and light show using their computer keyboards. Certain keys correspond to one-second building blocks of music that accompany more than 100 pre-shot lighting designs projected on the 1:1000 scale, handcrafted model of the city.

Chroma Subsampling Techniques

RED writes: Video compression is commonly thought of as being unique to digital, but it’s also been around since the early days of analog. Compression has just become more sophisticated since then. In this article, we will take a look back at one early strategy in particular: 4:2:2, 4:1:1 and 4:2:0 chroma subsampling. STRATEGY Vision specialists have long known that our eyes are much less sensitive to color resolution than we are to brightness resolution.

Help Desk: Sense and Sensitivity

Andy Shipsides of HDVideoPro writes: Recently, a client who purchased a Sony PMW-F3 from AbelCine gave me a call with a "quick question." He had just updated his camera with the S-Log recording option and discovered that he now could set his camera's sensitivity in a number of different ways. He could set the camera's gain, ISO or, with the S-Log mode turned on, an Exposure Index (EI). He wanted to know the difference between these settings and which was best to use. Like many "quick questions" I'm asked, this wasn't exactly something I could answer quickly. But to get him up and working, I explained to him that gain and ISO in the F3 are directly connected (where +6 dB equals two times the ISO), and that Exposure Index is more like a color correction made in post. This was a fine answer with regard to the F3, but most other cameras, especially RAW-recording cameras, work quite differently.

The Sony F65 Captures the Majesty of Iceland for 'Oblivion'

DP Claudio Miranda explains why he chose to shoot sci-fi film Oblivion on the Sony F65. He says, "We just liked the sharpness of the camera and the way it captured the image. The initial intention of Oblivion...was to capture Iceland as majestically as we possibly could. We really wanted to have the detail in the blacks, and the detail in the sky and hold it all in. With the camera's latitude, it really helped bring that forth." Watch below.
