    Rhythm & Hues didn't go bankrupt because of Life of Pi, and I don't think anybody is really trying to argue that. They are using Life of Pi as the example, because it is a high-profile award-winning...

    One thing to consider is that while an LTO backup system should be relatively easy to use for a tech savvy person, I'm not sure that every film student is going to be savvy enough to run it, so a...

    I used to do backups to LTO4 over an SAS connection, and it was about 3-4 hours to write a full tape (800gb uncompressed) and the same amount of time to verify the data.

    Saw it and enjoyed it. I'd seen the show before on Broadway, and I love the music.

    My only major complaint was that I thought some of the performances seemed a bit stage-like at times, where the...

    I don't know, I still prefer 1.78 or 1.85 over the wider aspect ratios, because you can show a human being (a vertically oriented creature) full body height, without him or her looking really tiny.

    Having now seen The Hobbit in 24fps 2D, 24fps 3D & 48fps 3D, I agree that 24fps 2D is definitely the most enjoyable way to see the movie.

    The 48fps was not as terrible as I expected (it did help...

    I just don't get why they shoot the film in 2 such wildly different aspect ratios. If they shot the non-Imax parts in academy, they could show it in 1.85 in theaters and 1.78 on home video.
