Incident At Loch Ness

Just watched Incident At Loch Ness, shot mostly on a DVX100. Have to say I was pretty impressed, especially when it intercut between the 16mm camera and the DVX footage. To be honest (and baring in mind it was a DVD) there wasn't really a whole lot of difference in look between the film sections and the DVX sections.

The DVD was in fact leant to me by the gaffer of the film James Gilligan. He said he was amazed at the quality the camera managed to produce when it was blown up to film and projected. Did anyone on these forums manage to see the production in a cinema at all and could comment on what they thought of the picture quality?

Its well worth a rent if you see it. Very funny, and although it is a mockumentary some of the siatuations I can well imagine happening if a Hollywood crew decided to make a documentary!
 
I also watched the DVD for the first time recently. I loved the movie and I thought it looked really good. It's also nice to be able to see the DVX used to make a feature.:thumbsup:
 
Simon, Horse,

Was this DVD with DVX footage, a digital transfer? Or was it a film out, then film to digital transfer?

Complaints about 28 Days Later were about how grainy it looked, because they did a post film transfer to digital dvd.

Just wondering...
 
I'm not sure. I would imagine that it was transferred from 35mm because of the S16mm footage that was included.

It was a good transfer if it was as it was relatively free of grain. I was watching on a pretty sharp HD capable TV through progressive scan component connections too.

Incidentally there is a pretty funny snippet on the extras disc where the cameraman tells the producer that his camera is 24p and needs to be processed just like film!

I just watched this last night, and found that clip in the extras, I was rolling on the floor! "Sorry, just sent the tapes to the lab":-Laugh(DBG)-1 It's 24p! Just perfectly awesome. That whole movie rocked.

My fav line. . . Z muttering under his breath. . . "At least we didn't have to pull the boat over a mountain" . . .
 
This was just on IFC at like 5 in the morning. It was the first I had heard of this flick.

I enjoyed it. My cup of tea. Zak's acting was the weak point, but his character was still a riot. Otherwise, Werner... very fluid.

Interesting movie. Especially at 5 in the morning when you can't sleep :)
