I always hear people/actors/directors say, this tape or film is x meters long, it is this size, etc. do they really still use physical film? If so why aren’t they using terabytes of storage in a way more compact form?

      Is it just me, or does that not contradict the statement you said of “film doesn’t have infinite resolution”?

        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 contradicted yourself, that’s why I mentioned you would need Ai and infilling…

              I think you completely misunderstood the conversation here, I don’t need stuff mansplained lmfao. I thought we were having a thought experiment on what things could potentially be.

              And yeah you’ve made multiple contradictory statements regardless of that. I even brought up we don’t have screens to make any of this useful, was that not a big enough hint that it’s not a possibility currently…?

                    I’m not correcting what you said, I’m correcting what you think I said.

                    AI could add detail that isn’t there in the film, but it is unnecessary to recover detail that IS there because we absolutely have the tech to get the full detail that is available in the film. No need to make up for lost detail with AI.

                    I though you meant we’d have to use AI to match film, because we can’t scan it at a superior-to-film level.

                    Film is also so so insanely high detail, that the idea of enhancing it further never even occurred to me. It’d be utterly pointless.

                    There is only a contradiction if you interpret my words in a way I didn’t intend.

                    So don’t. If you still do after I’ve told you otherwise, yes, you’d be being disingenuous.
