-- The Core *SVCD* - TELESYNC - Centropy (http://forum.vcdq.com/showthread.php?threadid=17109)
So close to perfection, again
Yep, the weird angle is still there, but it's a little less pronounced this time around. The other major flaw of the "new" Centropy is more pronounced this time--- motion blur. Also, the picture quality isn't *quite* as good as View From The Top (an 8 instead of a 9), but it's still better than any other TS out there. (With CTP, I judge them based on previous CTP releases, just to be fair to the other groups). NFO was kinda light, I was hoping for another rant, even if I didn't agree.
Audio is first rate, and so far this movie ROCKS. Just wish they could solve the boom mike problem. Er... I mean... the weird angle problem. It's always something, eh?
Guys, always-- THANKS.

Overall nice release. Good early release! 8.5/8.5/?
Good job guys!
Regarding the boom mics, the consesus was that the movie was not masked as it should be and was projected with more areas shown than was originally intented. See Scooby Doo special effects for good example of this. You were actually getting MORE than you would if you had gone to the theatres and watched it there. An Extra Picture Edition, of sorts

Must say they took a step back. Still a blur and color run off.Nice sound. And the angle will not go away people. They are forced to the shoot the film up close to get this high quality. Or you can have them shoot directly on from far away and get the blint pixly tint so you decide what you like better.

*sigh* ............. ok
ok for all the people who are going to complain about the angle.......
heres the deal ( or atleast what i can only assume out of general knowledge )....... ok when you are in a dark cinema and you want a nice straight on picture you will have to sit on the higher seats.... am i wrong?? .... no
ok so when your on the higher seats it means you are further back...... ok so there you are sitting right at the back of the room.... its a dark room.... cameras need a lot of light .... hell thats how they work..... so if youre sitting that far back its very difficult to get vibrant colors.... we now have a blue tint with dark picture.... blue tint is because of the darkness and the color of the image coming thru makes eveything seem blue in the dar.... we know this because pirates have suffered from it for years.
now they have to ge alot closer to get nice colors.... uti can do it because the cut of the edges of the movie alot.... im sure centropy dont want to miss the edges....
thus the have to sit closer so everyone will shut up about the blue titn and lack of color........
to get it straight on they would have to somehow suspend the camera in the dead centre of the room ..... is it realy worth all that hassel ?
anyway i know ive rambled on a bit much so ill leave it at that .......it just pisses me off when everyone cry about the angle so much ......
anyway ...... nice picture ... good sound .... id say about 8 for both ... movie .. i dunno
and also .... why do people say "angle is still there " its not like people cant tell them selves from the jpgs !?!
oh by the way this wasnt directed at anyone in particular .... just figured id say what i thought
good release
well just checked sample and there is a little angle again, but more like the hunted now, i watched that one without any trouble so this should work also, thnx ctp for this very watchable release
8/8/?
GREAT RLS... 8/9/6... Movie was ok... I watched the *PROPER* FTF because it wasnt something i was dying to see... I might watch this full release to improve upon the expierience...

How's about they back away enough to lessen the angle problem, while still shooting close enough to avoid the overly dark pixellated issue? Maybe that's what they did on this release vs. View From The Top? I'd take a little less quality for a little less of Crispin Glover's elongated chin. If they have exclusive access to the theater, I'd say use a ladder. (If they don't have exclusive access, a ladder might draw too much attention to what they're doing). Man I luv this group.

I agree with pezley for the most part. But lorddusty makes a good point also. Whatever the case, Centropy generally sets the standard.
Whatever they're doing to compensate for specific limitations, my only question to them would be, What changed from the old releases? That was a standard they established, but struggle to meet it now. Is it equipment? Accessibility? Operators? Has the whole group been transformed? Notice you don't see the custom Centropy intros on their releases anymore...
I'll still watch anything they put out...
8/8
It's great to see Centropy well and truly back and striving for quality again. However, is the mission statement of the *new CTP* to only release the worst in mall-rat fodder hollywood flicks? They seem to be concentrating on releasing only the most mindless drivel that the movie industry has to offer.
::Has there been a good movie out to release? heh i dont think so
this release is sweet and centropy's last two releases have both been 8's and possibly 9's .......WTF IS ALL THIS SHIT ABOUT THE ANGLE MOFO'S WATCH THE MOVIE AND STFU.....
Just got the movie, Sweet Movie good quality good sound source and angle u can hardly see it!! This movie Worth Downloading

oh, definately centropy does set the standard ..... and i respect everything they and other groups do for us
maybe YOU can get good colors from the back..... but they obviously cant ..... i think the telesyncs are fine as they are ....
sure id like a better angle..... but what we want we cant always get
anyway i mainly posted my post just cause it pisses me off so much when people complain about the angle
if it was on one release ... sure ... they made a mistake.... but it seems a regular thing.... im sure they are trying to resolve it and will in time make things work.
anyway nice to hear replys on the matter
Very nice.. no complaints here..
7.5/8/6
Great looking movie, angle isn't a big deal nor anything else with video, audio is crisp and nice, going to watch this release of the movie. 8/9/?

another awesome rls by Centropy. It is sort of funny though. Normally we wouldn't complain about what they are complaining about with this release, but due to such a superb release, people always need to find a reason to complain.
Ever since they have "come back" they have had problems, and with each new release, they improved. I'm sure eventually they will have it down perfect soon, maybe for X2.
thank you centropy even though there is still i little weird angle going i have to see this movie if it wasnt for that angle this would be near perfection cuz the colors are great sound is good as usuall thanx for this rls again ctp

holy shit! Boner!
Thanx ctp, I watched sample and it pwned like the last 4 ts' but i must say this movie is soooooo shitty, its not worth the dl!
8/8.5/0.0005
personally, i'd take a little grain over funny angles. i don't know. at least with a grainy picture you don't really notice it after a while, but that angle thing is really persistent. heh. doesn't ever start to blend really... naw mean ?
i agree. CTP is fucking up largly with the angle. the quality of the video is very good, everything is readable/viewable. the sound is great, but that angle just fucks everything up. even the old spiderman and star wars II were a little grainy, but i perfered that over bowed picture. scoot back guys or get the camera higher. or better yet, take some pointers from TCF. their bringing down the house was pretty much the best i've seen as far as a TS.

u must have not seen CTP's releases from last summer ...NO BLUE TINTS, NO ANGLES, NEAR PERFECTION.

nice rls
personal i'd rather watch it with a blue tint, than the angle, but i'm grateful either way
Update:
After watching this for a second time, that angle thing is alot more off putting thatn the blue, it looks like the opening credits to star wars throughout the film.
I think CTP should change there blue intro to :
Long time ago in a Far away galaxy......
Bring back the blue fellas

I think the angle is very annoying. But I do agree it is still a good release and I appreciate them being on the scene again. The colors on this one look a little faded (it looks like the whole thing was filmed on a rainy day). The sound is great, and it is a pretty clear copy (much much much better than the FTF version). Sometimes you don't notice the angle at all, but then they show a close up of something, or there is something in the foreground and it is awful. This is definatly watchable though. Prolly the best copy you'll see until there is an unwatermarked screener. Thanks again guys. Move that guy back a few rows and we'll be back in business.
MrSin
great for a TS by far. picture bothered me because it was like it was shot from the front row.
sounds was superb for a TS
The Hunted was better
7.5/8/?
Grabbed the sample and it looks great.
8.5/ 8.5/?
Getting the movie now.
Not bad at all..very watchable and hopefully enjoyable
Just popped it in the ole DVD player..so far the rating is
7/8/?

you guys seem SO sure about how that angle happens
you sure the angle prob aint from hooking up a cam to the projector for the t/s and not taking into account the super 35 format this film is in?
the jpeg looks exactly like an anamorphic dvd that hasn't been "stretched" ..... on an anamorphic tv .....
or more like an anamorphic dvd on a non-anamorphic tv that the dvd player hasn't been set to 4/3 lbx, but left at 16x9 - - i.e., the peeps on the screen are tall and skinny.
im going by the jpeg, and comparing it to Tears in the Sun, where the actors heads tapered at the top which made Tears look like a distance from the screen capture problem for CTP, this one - TheCore - looks like a prob with cam settings .
just my stupid 2c worth.
but keep em coming, CTP, no body does it bettah !!
gotta luv those colors in the jpg, and besides, what's not to like about a phallic ship penetrating the hot molten core of mutha earth ? ..... hehe science fiction fantazy rUleZ
this is not really a big complaint... this rls was definitely watchable. but what's up with the framerate? i'm surprised it's at NTSC, considering it doesn't really have a flicker to it... but i can't see them doing a PAL>NTSC conversion, when there's no need to...
also, what's up with the field mismatch? if you notice, all the scene changes have mismatched fields, you can see both scenes at once. i almost want to say 'bad ivtc', but i just can't figure out why they'd ivtc a cam, unless it was filmed at NTSC rate to begin with... but if so, i'm very surprised that there's no flicker to speak of...
hrm... well, to my mind, this is one of the lower quality ctp releases i've seen, even from this year. the angle is bad, it makes it look like the AR is way off.. and the weird field matching is distracting, to me.
nevertheless, it is certainly true that a ctp "bad" release is better than the best release of many groups. if you want to see this one, this release is very watchable.

Angle vs Tint
Atleast give some leeway toward the tint to try to fix the angle.

about boom mics..
The problem with boom mics on rips isn't the groups fault its when the film isn't loaded up perfectly on the projector and it shows too much of the top of the film thus letting the boom mic into the shot a little. So the group isn't really to blame.
Good lookin TS, one of the worst movies I've ever seen. My friends thought it was hysterical though. 8/8/1
are we sure this is the whole movie? the movie is supposedly 136 min so I am curious how this fit onto 2 discs being an SVCD..seeing is how David Gale was 130 min and was on 3 cd's

well..as far as I can see the whole thing is there..I am curious though SVCD has the capacity to hold about 35-60 minutes on 74/80 min CDs and the 2nd disc of the Core was 66+ minutes..hmmm anyone wanna chime in on this one?

Ummm...does anyone who has acutally seen this movie confirm that the second disc of this SVCD is flawed? The beginning of the second disc starts with the Paramount intro then cuts back to the scene, then cuts to the Core title screen, then back to the movie. It's a simple fix i know but any idea how this could have occured? Other than that, the angle isn't a problem (you'd get the same perspective if you don't get that dead center seat or got to the movie late and had to sit in the front row anyways). Excellent release CTP and keep kicking ass!

POKE SMOT
YourW0RLDisMINE,
thats your typical win xp caching problem with power dvd.
It happens when you play parts of cd1, then put in cd2 (with the same label). Windows plays the movie from the cache, so you see parts of cd1. I've watched the whole thing. No problems with either cds.
video: good color but a hint of fish-eye lens. 7.8
sound: very nice for ts. 8.5
im downloading it now..
saw the sample..looks good
i always liked most of centropy's releases
I just watched this and i have no complaints, sound was good and so was the quality of the picture, so centropy come up trumps again IMO
Nice Release,
just watched the sample
7/8/7
the quality looks good. i mean come on. for somtething that barely came out Friday
quote:there is exactly one camera in the 'prosumer' range which can shoot at Film frame rate atm. if that is what's being used, then i'm a bit disappointed at the quality, i'd have thought that one (or, of course, any of the full pro models) would give bettter quality. also, it makes no sense to me that if they were using that one, that they'd not be shooting progressive frames.

You do know there are cams you can adjust the shutter rate to be the same as the projection which means that its not PAL or NTSC so they can rls in either format without any flicker. On the quality. 8/9/8...i enjoyed the movie alot, kept me well entertained and its not as far fetched as u think..overall the angle doesn't affect the picture, ill take angle over blue tint.

the "boom" mike problem wasn't from Centropy, it was the unedited or pre-mastered released screenings. Alot of these pre-mastered showings include scenes with boom mikes hanging in the actors faces. I went to see a pre-release of The Ring and sure enough there were mikes hanging and lowered at inapropriate times, just not fully edited from the frame.
I know The Core didn't have this issue, but the weird "Leno" angle was kinda odd. fantastic sound and about the best you can get with the picture quality (for a TS)

Just finished watching it....
Video: 6
Audio: 9
Movie: 6
The video was good quality.. but the Angle killed it for me, just was annoying to watch.
WTF is with CTP and all these fubar angles/lenses.
video 9: GREAT COLOURS!! barely noticed the angle most of the time but sometimes it was really showing (rarely)
audio 9: great sound, no buzz or anything no complaints at all
movie was entertaining, but nothing id see again for another 5-10 years
9/9/5
heres what i think
Video: The angle when the movie starts at the paramount thing isnt tha greatest. Its like they taped it from a corner. One thing I have to say is the motion blur is bad. When the movie starts and the camera goes after it says The Core u can see small blocks.
Audio: Same audio as all CTP releases perfect.
Movie: havent seen it
I agree there, motion blur was a bit of a problem, but i still found it a very watchable telesync with good sound. i don't mind a little bit of flickering in certain scenes as this release is quite early i thought and still good.
not so sure why the fuss on the angle as i didnt notice it a great deal.
well it was overall a good rls except the aspect ratio was fucked when you would see the character's faces up close. their chins were HUGE!!! lol its a good rls though, good movie
LOL, centropy single-handedly invented the "jay-leno-effect"....
Still superb, release though. The acting was a tad on the cheesy side...

I'm on dial-up at home, so I didn't actually read all the posts so far, but I didn't see anyone complain about the sound in the posts I did read. Sure the angle's messed up, but I found the sound to be a little tinny and analog-ish for a TS. Oh well ...
