Comment on How are films recorded
MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 7 months agoOh absolutely. In terms of detail, photosensitive chemistry still has digital sensors utterly beat.
I’m just saying the resolution isn’t endless. There’s a limit, digital tech just hasn’t caught up, is all.

Interesting. Things could get really interesting with AI and the sensor tech, a more sensitive sensor could get more information out of film than is currently possible I would imagine?. And then you could also use AI to fill in and enhance more from there.
Now if only we had some screens to make it worthwhile hahah

We have electron microscopes. As long as you have time (which when you’re recording actors doing a scene, you don’t) we have the tech to look at things at any scale we want.
We wouldn’t even need AI, just a way to illuminate the film and some optics to project it at wherever scale we need onto a sensor, and we could scan every frame on a film down to the molecular level if we wanted.
Composited the resulting scan data into digital video would be trivial, and the resulting file would have a level of quality higher than what any digital sensor could have recorded directly.

Is it just me, or does that not contradict the statement you said of “film doesn’t have infinite resolution”?

What? Not at all.
I’m saying we can already scan stuff at way beyond the resolution film is able to record, how is that mutually exclusive with there only being useful detail in the film up to a certain scale?
