CML was set up for high-end pro\u2019s and those who aspire to be in that class.
\nI\u2019ve never worried about offending anyone else.<\/p>\n
There are lots of places on the net for cinematographers who don\u2019t care about or maybe just don\u2019t recognise a high quality image.
\nI never wanted CML to be one of those places.<\/p>\n
My recent experiences of working with post people whose whole approach to\u00a0life was \u201cthat\u2019ll do\u201d \u201cgood enough\u201d \u201cnobody\u201dll notice\u201d has caused me to stop\u00a0and take stock.<\/p>\n
I feel that CML has been drifting in that direction.<\/p>\n
I realise the political and economic pressures that are on us, believe me!<\/p>\n
That doesn\u2019t remove from the fact that if we don\u2019t stand up for image
\nquality nobody will we are \u201cthe guardians of the image\u201d and painful though\u00a0it might be at times we have to fight that fight.<\/p>\n
Answer for yourself a few simple questions, in a world where data size
\ndidn\u2019t matter, where RAW recorders were tiny and cheap, where transfer times\u00a0were zero, where processing power was vast WOULD YOU EVER SHOOT ANYTHING\u00a0OTHER THAN RAW?<\/p>\n
Of course you wouldn\u2019t because deep down inside you know that compression\u00a0damages your images.<\/p>\n
Next question, bearing in mind the conditions listed above, given a choice
\nof a system that recorded equal amounts of RGB and one that recorded 50%G\u00a0and 25%R&B and then guessed what was in the holes that that approach left\u00a0behind would you ever use anything other than the full RGB system?<\/p>\n
Of course you wouldn\u2019t because you know that resolution and colour are
\ncompromised by CFA systems.<\/p>\n
Now, given that you would go the quality route every time, why are you being\u00a0such chickenshits and compromising your images all the time?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
