Why? Because there are people arriving from around the world, and this quickly overwhelms local policing.

Considering many of the issues would relate to customs or international travel, then yes there is often a customs/immigration element.

NBC are the only broadcaster to take their own full camera setup so they can focus on American competitors. They don’t have quite have the Olympic spirit.

In some jurisdictions

Most countries send a policing presence to major international sporting tournaments.

They’re there to assist policing American fans, not to protect officials.

Dont they still dothis? And subsidise it with higher spec items?

The fines are too good a revenue source. Ireland would be fucked without the steady stream they represent.

Paywall

Doubtful. She’s only royal by marriage. More likely they jettison her like the British royals did to Diana or Andrew.

DP Roger Deakins has a forum on his site where he answers these sorts of questions. The Arri Alexa Studio was essentially developed for him, as he prefers an optical VF. It has an academy gate, and Deakins favours spherical lenses rather than anamorphic so we simply take the width of the sensor and crop down to 2.40:1 aspect ratio to get the quoted dimensions. Your link quotes the capture resolution, which will have some excess compared to the finished material.

This was put through the DI process and at a later stage IMAX DNR’d a blow-up to 15/70mm.

The TV licence funds the BBC’s 10 TV channels, 10 national radio stations, 6 regional radio stations, 50 local radio stations, 14 regional news operations, the biggest news gathering organisation in the world, 4 orchestras and music groups, world-leading R&D labs, S4C, local democracy reporters, and the World Service. It broadcasts in 39 languages and outputs 140 hours of news per day. It is also about to fund youtube creators. It’s cheaper than the German tax.

Apple announced it was moving away from Firewire in 2008

They showed Skyfall on 70ft IMAX screens, and that film was shot 2880 x 1200. Its not all about the pixel count.

Apple killed Firewire 4 years before Lightning came along.

65mm is a gulf from 15/65 though. Much harder to shoot in IMAX format.

However it is well documented that the vast vast vast majority of Germans supported the Nazis of their own free will. The “good german” and “clean wehrmacht” concepts are myths brought about in the aftermath of the war due to political expediency and, though they were adequately discredited by the 1980s, it still stubbornly holds on because the inhumanity is still so unbelievable.

Those Germans who did stand up to the Nazis were minute in numbers, and did so in an atmosphere of extreme hostility from the general public. After all, the Gestapo was a very small agency, and the population was self-policing.

Many countries are sending police to help with the event. Mainly to advise on handling their own fans, so it makes sense border or immigration police are sent.

It’ll take decades to sort. In Britain, Ernest Marples was transport minister 1959-64, and drove a massive transfer of resources from rail to motorway infrastructure. Of course, his family business was road construction. Rail in Britain still hasn’t recovered.

Underrated though? It’s firmly in the hall of fame
