Terry Fator: Live from Las Vegas Blu-ray, Video Quality

 


The dazzling neon lights of Las Vegas are reproduced in miniature for Terry Fator’s clear and colorful 1080p/AVC-encoded transfer. Shot with ten HD cameras, the film achieves full coverage, from the tightest close-ups of Winston the Impersonating Turtle—where you can make out individual threads of felt—to super-wide shots that still retain plenty of clarity. There’s a little bit of digital noise, especially in the darker crowd shots, but overall the image is bright and clean. The lights behind Terry shift in a constantly evolving spectrum of vivid colors, from flush magentas and cherry reds to deep blues and cool greens. Sometimes the colors seem too intense, and you’ll notice a slightly splotchy quality to some of the hotter bursts. Likewise, skin tones are very natural, but the contrast under the stage lights can occasionally get somewhat overheated, blowing out facial details in a couple of shots. Black levels are strong, though, and you’ll never notice any crush—just check out Terry’s slightly glossy black suit. The look here is very realistic, and it seems this transfer does an excellent job of recreating the actual colors and lighting of the original performance.

Terry Fator: Live from Las Vegas Blu-ray, Audio Quality

 


Terry Fator’s DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track is no dummy, providing the film with a punchy musical experience and plenty of front-row ambience. Terry’s back-up band is spread nicely throughout the channels; the core pieces are front and center, but there’s a nice bleed into the rear speakers, where you’ll also hear horns rip and the crowd go wild with clapping and cheering. Bass is tight and defined, the middle range is spacious and clean, and the track has no trouble handling the upper registers, like when Walter T. Airedale does his high-speed, high-pitched yodeling routine. You’d think a ventriloquist’s show would suffer from a fair amount of mumbling, but the conversations between Fator and his puppet friends are strikingly clear, and the vocals during the songs are expertly balanced in the mix. This track may not bring down the house with sheer sonic output, but it’s an excellent representation of Fator’s act.
