That beautiful football shot isn't 8k

I think there’s a few reasons why people are comparing these shots specifically to video games and not movies. The lack of motion blur is the biggest thing for me. Almost all movies are shot with a shutter speed designed to emulate how old celluloid film cameras worked, roughly 1/48th of a second. This looks way higher, probably 1/2000th or even more. Videogames can have motion blur, it’s something done to try and look more like movies, but many games don’t bother as they can look more crisp at higher frame rates without it. Most cinema cameras also have a smaller sensor than the Sony this guy is using, which means they can’t get quite the same combination of very wide shot with very shallow depth of field.
