Movies shot on film are simply rescanned frame by frame at a higher resolution, just about anything shot digitally is shot at a minimum of 1920x1080 (Phantom Menace was shot at that res as I recall)
And of course, anything CG can be arbitrarily rerendered at whatever resolution is desired. That was the plan for Babylon 5, except someone lost the mesh/texture/scene files to rerender it in lightwave :/ On 19 Mar 2010, at 09:22, Winterlight wrote: > Here is something I don't get.
