Comment on How are films recorded
MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 7 months agoWe have electron microscopes. As long as you have time (which when you’re recording actors doing a scene, you don’t) we have the tech to look at things at any scale we want.
We wouldn’t even need AI, just a way to illuminate the film and some optics to project it at wherever scale we need onto a sensor, and we could scan every frame on a film down to the molecular level if we wanted.
Composited the resulting scan data into digital video would be trivial, and the resulting file would have a level of quality higher than what any digital sensor could have recorded directly.

Is it just me, or does that not contradict the statement you said of “film doesn’t have infinite resolution”?
MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 7 months ago
What? Not at all.
I’m saying we can already scan stuff at way beyond the resolution film is able to record, how is that mutually exclusive with there only being useful detail in the film up to a certain scale?

We wouldn’t need Ai just a way….
Yeah you constricted yourself, that’s why I mentioned you would need Ai and infilling…

No, I didn’t. And no, we wouldn’t.
The AI enhancement would be pointless, by then we’d be at detail levels far and above what the human eye can perceive.
You’re suggesting it would be useful to connect dots that are dense enough to already make a line.
