damn sharp HD !..how did they do it?... i tried creating many
youtube clip but cannot achieve this..how man?
if u say its 1980s, there was no HD in source material.
The youtube that i showed may have been ripped from a dvd that
has digitally remasterd from the original 70mm film print which
itself is a hyper HD material.those days using 70 mm film
print.
When u look at a film print under microscope, u will see small
hyper sharp images. Nearly all movies shot on film
is effectively higher resolution than HD (I think most moves
from film are scanned at something like 4,000-5,000 lines , while
the highest HD standard currently is 1080 lines). Most of the 80s
and 90s Indian movies were shot in these hyper resolutions, hence
the reason why u see bright colours and lightings.
And even most old movies shot on video/other formats were shot on
"camera" that was higher quality than 1080p ( current Sonys). The
difference is that the shift from analog to digital needs to be
start all from scratch. HD is not new technology. it existed since
the 1950s in analog format ( which is film print)
film print always had a much higher resolution . Yeah, the whole
point of current HD tech is that it's closer to film quality
than SD. and to bring the old film quality high resolutions to
digital format . But the digital format takes up processing power
and storage technology. so it has to evolve slowly through years (
720P to 1080 p ect). the whole idea is to shift the old film print
technology in all its glory to new digital format to save it from
wear and tear. and also new terms like "colour
bit" and "colour" resolution,
"gamut" mean nothing new at all.. they are
referred to how accurate a digital picture is to the original
source film print.
