2016’s Version Of Circa-1970s Super-8 Filmmaking

I’ve been thinking a lot about VR video resolution, which manifests itself mainly as the “screen door effect.”

And you know what? It probably doesn’t matter.

Early TV had crap resolution.

Compared to 35mm and 16mm, Super-8 had crap resolution.

Early YouTube had very crap resolution.

So did Apple’s QuickTime.

And Polaroid instant photos had crap resolution against Kodak send-it-to-develop-it film.

VHS had crap resolution compared to arch-rival Betamax.

None of that mattered.

It probably doesn’t matter with VR video either.
