2K eller 4K ??
När man skall skanna film för Digital Intermediate blir frågan alltid vilken upplösning skall man skanna till. 2K, 2.000 pixlar horisontalt över bilden, har varit den vanligaste upplösningen, men är inte optimalt. Den första stora amerikanska spelfilmen som skannats i 4K var den senaste “Spiderman”.
På Cintels hemsida finns en intressant jämförelse med bilder mellan 2K och 4K skanning och här kan man se att skall man ta tillvara 35 mm filmens hela upplösning krävs 4K.

Det finns inget tråkigare än en snygg bild – ett samtal mellan filmfotografen Lisabi Fridell och Adam Nilsson
Lisabi Fridell mötte Adam Nilsson på en filminspelning i en känsla av kreativitet och inspiration. Sjutton år senare samtalar de om att hitta tillbaka till den där skapande platsen, i en tid som räds “komplicerade” filmfotografer och vill undvika det skeva.

Camerimage 2025 – Reflections by Lars Pettersson
The 33rd International Camerimage Film Festival took place between the 15th and 22nd of November in the picturesque little medieval city of Torun, birthplace of famed astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus and one of Poland’s national treasures. The film schools of Lodz and Warsaw must also surely be counted among Poland’s proudest cultural heritage. And we’ll get to them in a little while.
This year’s festival differs from those of recent years, in that there is no life achievement award given to a famous director of photography. Instead, the festival coordinators have decided to make this edition a tribute to, and a celebration of the work of, Director David Lynch.

My key takeaway from Camerimage concerns AI
At Camerimage this year, a recurring theme for the seminars was AI. For me, the key takeaway came from a passionate speech by former ASC president Michael Goi. It was a call-to-arms of sorts, not against AI, but to engage with AI.
Michael argued that there is a window of opportunity, where cinematographers and filmmakers can engage in dialogue with the developers, and influence the technological advancement. It is of utmost importance that we do engage with the developers of these tools. If we don’t, they might develop in a trajectory that could damage visual storytelling.

A Personal, Slightly Chaotic, Entirely Honest Report from CAMERIMAGE 2025
There are two types of people in this world:
1. Those who think Camerimage is a calm, reflective cinematography festival.
2. Those who have actually BEEN to Camerimage.
For us DoPs, Camerimage is the annual ritual where we briefly emerge from whatever shoot we just wrapped… only to immediately return to total darkness and spend 10 hours a day in cinemas watching films until any sense of “morning” or “evening” simply stops existing.
