Buffy’s HD Remaster Woes

Posted on 2014-12-132015-08-15 by Mark Boszko

This post on Facebook shows in great detail the disappointing issues with the new HD remaster of Buffy the Vampire Slayer for Pivot TV, complete with side-by-side comparisons and video links. (All of the side-by-sides here on the blog are taken from that Facebook article. Thanks, mystery author!) The questionable 16:9 cropping (or opening the…

The State of The Optical

Posted on 2014-11-112015-08-15 by Mark Boszko

I feel like I haven’t been posting much here about my podcast, The Optical, aside from the link in the header and footer, but believe me, I’ve been hammering away at it. Just last week, I launched a new website for the podcast that I’ve been stumbling through learning Django to produce. It’s not 100%…

Super 8

Posted on 2011-06-11 by Mark Boszko

The missus and I got to see Super 8 on Thursday morning at a sparsely-attended “secret sneak preview” that they had promoted only through Twitter. It’s the first time I think I’ve seen a 4K projection locally, and let me tell you — the entire thing was amazingly clean and detailed. But not in a…

Attack of the Giant Amazon! Effects Breakdown

Posted on 2011-01-252015-08-15 by Mark Boszko

Remember that Amazon spec ad I produced a while back? Well, at the suggestion of my friend Jose, I’ve revisited it with this behind-the-scenes video that shows how each of the effects shots were built. Attack of the Giant Amazon: Behind the Scenes from Mark Boszko on Vimeo.
