Being a professional videographer, I rarely, if EVER believe what I see on ANY monitor I use. If you ever get to go to a professional studio, you'll see we use mostly black and white displays for production, and only trust wave form/vector scopes for signal measurements. With B&W monitor, I'm only interested in focus. We will ALWAY disagree about colors, as all of us see colors differently...but it's pretty much cut and dry if something is in or out of focus, as well as the scope will tell us if the IRE is to high, or to low.

You're right, this would be better in the Lao Che area, but it's a jacket leather comparison question...so this topic should be started again there rather than moving this one. Regards. Michaelson

Thanks Michaelson. I figured you'd chime in too, thinking of your profession. :wink:
Now I'll go watch the trilogy on a B&W setting, you never know what you'll find. :D

Kind regards,
Swindy

That's why film noir is so good. You're not distracted by the color, but concentrate more on the story. You may, indeed, discover something new. Regards. Michaelson

Let's just hope that I don't discover that the 'Raiders turn' was only a distorted lens after all. :roll: :wink:

So... where can I find accurate cameras for what was used in Raiders? :shock: 8)

Probably still bouncing around in the back of Paramount studio trucks at this very moment! :wink: Regards. Michaelson

Shoot, Hitchcock even used black and white on purpose and to great effect for some of his films! :wink:
