[Tig] Scopes

[Patrick Morgan BT]

I guess I am a junior colourist

We use one of the computer based variety (Omnitek) with our suites, every DS
Nitris has
one, and so does our 2 Film Master suites.

Scopes are an indispensible part of the way I work, I wouln't work without
them.

There is hope yet.

>Sounds like someone just doesn't know how to read a scope.

Not sure everyone realizes just how much production and post work (some of
it quite high end) goes on without any scopes present. I sometimes have to
argue, then insist, that a scope be rented for productions I work on. Mostly
I win, occasionally I lose and walk away from the job.

Running without one makes it mandatory that a very good monitor, set up very
well, in optimum viewing conditions, be used to evaluate the images, and the
person doing the work understand what they're seeing.

I suggest that those who can't or won't use a scope are incapable of having
or doing any of the items noted in the preceding paragraph.

The digital dumbing down of the industry continues.
