Why Some Cameras Are Better in Low Light - Video Tech Explained
If you're a professional in the video space, you probably know that some cameras perform better in low-light scenarios than others. But have you ever wondered what it is, specifically, that makes one camera better than another in this regard? A common answer to this question is that higher-resolution sensors perform worse because they collect less light from the environment, but this explanation is wrong!
This is my big release for 2024, and it's been in the works for around 7 months. It's my longest, most expensive, and most time-consuming project to date. I hope you enjoy!

    Sadly, the lack of image resolution was never the main problem with the prequels, and the much higher resolution and image quality of the "new" movies (ep7-9) did not help them from being almost unwatchable junk. The answer to better movies lies in better story telling, not better quality, but by all means shoot in 35, 70mm or 8k and not 1080p.

    FYI: @5:02, The curves appear to be labeled backwards, presuming these are meant to represent inverse gamma curves (ie, 1/2.2, 1/2.4, and 1/2.6). The horz vs vert scales look a little off as well.

    It has been the case that remasters of some things were not possible. Now, in the AI world it can be done with the AI engine inventing teh missing details to bring the images up to modern standards. The technique has been done in minature for quite some time with trashed individual frames from old films interpolated from previous and next frames, but now with AI techniques it becomes possible (if not cheap) to do much much more.

    The same principles in this video explain why we'll never have even true HD versions of many music videos from the 80s and 90s as they were mostly shot on video with baked in resolution caps. They COULD be upscaled to HD but I've yet to see an HD upscaling of SD video which looks particularly good.

    Pretty much all of the movies from the early 2000s when CGI was becoming absolutely normal on every film everything is 2K. The new kill Bill 4K set that is coming out next week it’s the same story because those came out in 2003 and 2004 and because of the CGI of the time they can’t get it above 2K. It’s 4K upscale but that’s it. It was not until guardians of the galaxy volume two that movie finally started going into 6K but 4K is pretty much the standard now.

    I found a way to do this without the decklink card! 1. Do NOT use the HDR option in the windows settings. 2. Setup your LG TV as a clean feed monitor in resolve's settings. 3. Access LG's secret menu 1113111 and set color space to either rec2020 or p3-d65 and gamma to st2084. The rest of the settings seem to do nothingm Now you can output from your node tree to ST2084, and you will get accurate PQ tracking up to the TV's peak luminance! Anything above will be hard clipped. That's the only drawback, as you have to manage the tone mapping before hand, and cannot sentld the 2086 static metadata.

    Or you can just rerelease them like how Toei has treated a few of their 90s series and do nothing or apply the worst remaster ever. I don't think I've seen anything as bad as the Dragon Ball Z "remasters" over the years that not only crop the original 4:3 aspect ratio to 16:9 but they also didn't apply anything to the poorly aged films that obviously have gone through some color degradation and some of the worst grain removal I've seen. It's even worse because the majority of the show was filmed on 16mm, which was the standard for animation of the era. So while many anime and some cartoons of the era have had some massive benefits from HD remasters, Dragon Ball, and a few other Toei shows, have been subject to poor remasters that only make it look worse than how it did back when it originally aired

    To answer your final question, yes why not shooting in 8k, actually everybody would do that… If it was not really realistic in terms of workflow, even in 2025. I’m a director and I work usually on big commercials with big budget (over 2 millions dollars in general) and I can tell you 4K special effects and post production in general is still super demanding, of course the computer are more powerful, but we ask them more in rendering, level of details, etc. It’s of course solvable with money, but the time it asks to be efficient is not. Rendering wise, never forget the thousand of back and forth between everybody during the post production process. So when you talk to a decent post production company about 8k they will genuinely laugh. It’s not at all realistic with the constrains of the industry. Maybe it will happen one day, but for the moment it’s a joke, regarding what’s 4k resolution is regarding 35mm.
