yotsuya = ronster 2, still digging that hole, whether he understands it or not. even now.
I don’t think yotsuya is dumb or anything, just that they don’t at all understand the telecine process. There’s a good video on it here:
In the video you can see at the 13:30 mark that the operator describes grading as “an essential part of telecine work”. Anyone who thinks that telecine transfers have little to no grading done to them is mistaken - you can see the process in the above video, and the operator is able as you see to make scene-by-scene adjustments in the “rehearsal” and save them to memory before running the actual transfer.
