“With all of my films that are on DVD and Blu-ray, I have spent weeks with them in a color timing room. Just changing or enhancing them. I have been desaturating the color. Sometimes I will make a scene bluer or redder. I do use the new medium. I believe in it.” BelieveHas BeensSometimesUseFilmI BelieveRoomsWeekColorSceneI Believe InMediumsRaysTimingDvds Author:William Friedkin
“When you make a Blu-ray, its not the same as the print process was. You have little or no control over any print that was ever made. You are a victim of the 35mm printing process.” LittlesMadeProcessVictimPrintRaysPrinting Author:William Friedkin
“I have control over every single frame on Blu-ray. If I want a scene bluer, I get that scene bluer. Originally, there was some fluctuation with the prints. If you made a thousand, or a few thousand prints, there is no control over any of that. But now I can make a master using the digital process.” IfsWantMadeI CanProcessMastersSceneThousandDigitalPrintRaysFluctuation Author:William Friedkin
“Every time you run a 35mm print, it picks up scratches. It picks up dirt. Sometimes it breaks, and you have to re-splice it. You lose frames. This doesn't happen with digital or Blu-ray. I think that's great. Because I love the new media.” ThinkingSometimesHappensRunningLosesBreakMediaPicksDigitalPrintRaysDirtScratchesNew Media Author:William Friedkin
“The Blu-ray is the real cinematech of world cinema. That's how it's being preserved. All of these guys that are trying to preserve 35mm negatives? They are wasting their time. There are better ways to see and project this stuff. It's called digital.” WorldWayTryingRealGuyStuffProjectsPreservesCinemaDigitalRaysBetter Ways Author:William Friedkin
