Tammy

2014 · Film · 97 min

Directed by Ben Falcone

Comedy

For burger-joint employee Tammy, a bad day keeps getting worse. She wrecks her car, loses her job, and finds that her husband has been unfaithful. It's time to hit the road, but without money or transportation, Tammy's options are limited. Her only choice is a road trip with her hard-drinking grandmother Pearl, who has a car, cash, and an itch to see Niagara Falls. It's not the escape Tammy had in mind, but it may be what she needs.

    I find it's still really noticeable in the skin tones and highlights. You can find lots of comparisons online; once you see film beside digital, the difference can be pretty huge. Some people in Hollywood still really care about it... one recent example: http://motion.kodak.com/motion/Publications/InCamera/Creating_an_Edgy_Anti_Comedy_Look_for_Tammy.htm “It’s like we’ve forgotten how great film looks when you see it in comparison,” Alsobrook remarks. “We looked at each other, and it was a done deal. There was no question we were going to shoot film. It has a rich, creamy look to it that you just can’t get any other way.”

    One instance where it's very obvious to me was 300 vs its sequel 300: Rise of an Empire. I tried to find 2 similar images: 300 http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film2/dvdreviews46/300_the_complete_experience_blu-ray/large/large_300_blu-ray3.jpg 300 sequel http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTQwMTk3MTU3OV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwMDA5NDQyMTE@._V1__SX1857_SY901_.jpg

    So basically I think digital is getting there but it still has a little ways to go in matching the perceived quality.
