  • They were shot on negative 35mm film, and edited on tape in that aspect ratio.

    Only some odd scenes and shots were captured on tape, but it was mostly film. They won’t need to upscale any live scenes, but they would have to work on rendering all the digital effects and blue screen shots for example. As it was only ever edited on tape, it’s unlikely that the digital effects could be ever rendered or upscaled, it would probably need to be entirely reworked from scratch.

    Very daunting task. Although, they did it for TNG. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Edit: Someone pointed out the obvious in a reply. Yes, of course they will need to be scanned for a better resolution scan. I already pointed out it’s on film, and even mentioned why it’s not just that simple. (Hence the digital effects needing to be redone).

    Don’t know why you were downvoted, it’s true. I don’t believe in fossil fuels being burned either, but you may as well reach the same goal by improving what otherwise isn’t realistic to entirely remove. We won’t get anywhere without compromises, and we should continue to try to invest in cleaner energy, even if that means improving the existing dirty energy.

    This works for nuclear too, and possibly thermal energy plants.

    If we invested in nuclear and the public were actually properly educated without all the scary media scorn on it, we would have invested without so much resistance and be in a MUCH better place by now as it would have taken coal and gas off the grid. Here in the UK we have excellent renewable opportunities for wind, but we didn’t invest enough, nor did we invest enough in our own nuclear. When the pandemic hit, and the oil gas crisis happened, we were using 50-60% of our energy from GAS. We can’t turn them off or we’ll have brownouts, so it’s an uphill battle to get rid of our dependency.

    Because our government didn’t invest in nuclear or wind or solar, and they didn’t put pressure on private energy companies to use alternatives, all the country got hit with enormous gas and electric prices. We sowed our own fate by not protecting the environment and pioneering alternative energy, and now our wallets finally pay the full price.

    Saying that, the oil gas companies are minted now… Maybe we should punish the energy companies for not meeting their goals or promises, and for not taking responsibility for investing. You’d think taxes, but or Tory government wouldn’t want to harm their best pals in the energy business. Screw the government for that one. My bills are killing me.

    These small improvements help still.

    "And a message from our sponsor! Just kidding…

    DBrand did offer though. :D

    You can watch our progress transparently… on floatplane"

    Is all I loosely heard from it. Shame his newly appointed CEO has to deal with this, I feel like he should have been the only one in the video. It would have put extra value and emphasis on his message, and cut out all the blame passing and job title responsibilities; they could have dealt with all the other stuff separately. They shouldn’t need to put their staff out there to dry like that (even if they’re management), the issue is blatantly deeper rooted.

    If they’re trying to address their accuracy, management processes, or talk about video content burnout that influence their staff and viewers, it should have been short and sweet. They should have posted an update video to show us the progress. Not make promises and jokes and put half of it behind a paywall.

    They wrote and uploaded their apology so quickly, they didn’t even let the fallout settle before more controversy came inevitably to light. Now they need to eventually address that in a video too seeing as there’s an investigation. Though it would have been hard to comment on year old incidences without an investigation to be fair.

    I was told that when making apologies don’t use too many if at all any reasons… Justifying your action with excuses means you felt there was an exception. They shouldn’t have gone into specifics and just said “God damn we really ballsed that one up”.

    You’re on a post discussing the potential funneling of Reddit users to Lemmy.world, yet criticize someone for potentially being a Reddit user?

    This is the first impression you’re setting for them; you’re not protecting Lemmy nor are you representing it.

    Chill dude, let it organically change if you’re tired of Reddit, a lot of people are too.
