So how will you cross the bridge to DI, gaining the benefits of non-linear operation using existing infrastructure while maintaining compatability with existing workflows? For this transition da Vinci created Splice™ — a “virtual telecine” which allows a linear color corrector to operate as a non-linear device. SPLICE™. VIRTUAL TELECINE FOR NON-LINEAR IMAGE PROCESSING from the genius of Operating as a server based front end for the da Vinci 2K, Splice provides colorists with the types of image processing controls normally associated with a telecine environment, like real-time pan tilt zoom and rotate. fig. 01 _ [ SPLICE ] WORK STATION / SPLASH SCREEN Colorists will make a seamless transition to Splice with its familiar interface on the da Vinci 2K Plus. “VIRTUAL TELECINE” Powered by da Vinci's exclusive Transformer 2K, Splice provides conform enhancements da Vinci offers colorists the advantages of image processor, Splice offers real-time for EDL handling, switching on the fly non-linear color correction and in-context optical quality pan, tilt, zoom and rotate, between source and record order and an add grading with Splice, a new “virtual telecine” coupled with 4:4:4 uncompressed storage handles function for deliverables.

While 2K resolution is widely accepted for digital post production, there are situations when even a higher re- solution is required, such as for digital effects. As the cost of storage continues to fall and ultra-high resolu- tion display devices are introduced, 4K postproduction workflows are becoming viable and affordable. The combination of the Spirit 4K high-performance film scanner and Bones system is ahead of its time, offe- ring you the choice of 2K scanning in real time (up to 30 frames per second) and 4K scanning at up to 7.5 fps depending on the selected packing format and the receiving system’s capability. In addition, the internal spatial processor of the Spirit 4K system lets you scan in 4K and output in 2K. This oversampling mode eli- minates picture artifacts and captures the full dynamic range of film with 16-bit signal processing.

  • Editorial Background: Kodak Scientists Discuss Why and How the New Intermediate Film Was Developed
    Editorial Background: Kodak Scientists Discuss Why and How the New Intermediate Film was Developed Kodak has introduced a color intermediate film optimized for digital intermediate (DI) postproduction applications. KODAK VISION3 Color Digital Intermediate Film 5254/2254 is designed for use with contemporary film recorders, with the objective of faithfully retaining nuances in colors, contrast and other characteristics of digitally manipulated images. After the film-out, the new intermediate film is used as a master for generating high-quality release prints for projection on cinema screens. In the following conversation, Kodak scientists David Niklewicz and Ana Castro discuss the emulsion science behind the new film: When you began to design and develop a new color intermediate film specifically for digital intermediate postproduction applications, how did you determine the characteristics of the new film? NIKLEWICZ: From the earliest days of the motion picture industry, Kodak scientists have listened to filmmakers who share their thoughts and experiences about real-world production situations. Filmmakers who are choosing to follow a DI postproduction path suggested there was a need for a color intermediate film optimized for use with contemporary film recorders. KODAK VISION 2242 Color Intermediate Film remains the industry standard for high-quality traditional release printing processes. How does the new color intermediate film fit into the DI workflow? NIKLEWICZ: The vast majority of motion pictures produced for the cinema originate on color negative film. The negative is often scanned and converted to digital files for color grading and other DI image manipulation. The timed DI is recorded onto a color intermediate stock that is used as a digital original negative or as a duplication element for release printing.

  • CHAPTER 3. Film Sound Preservation: Early Sound Systems
    CHAPTER 3. Film Sound Preservation: Early Sound Systems 3.1 Film Sound Preservation In the introduction I argued that the nature of film sound consists of different dimensions: the textual and material dimensions, the human and technological dimensions, the institutional, experiential and memorial dimensions. Each of these should be taken into account in preservation and presentation practices. Some of these dimensions were investigated in the first two chapters, where I outlined a set of key concepts related to recorded sound that I derived from social and artistic sound practices as well as media theories: the noise of the material carriers and technological devices, cleaned and cracked sounds, the notion of soundscape and high fidelity, and the concepts of media memory and audiovisual trace. In the following chapters I will further analyze the nature of film sound and its core dimensions beginning with the analysis of film sound preservation and presentation case studies. In this chapter, I examine preservation and restoration projects of films where the issue of sound is particularly relevant, while chapter four analyzes the work of film heritage institutions with respect to film sound presentation. The case studies discussed here are prompted by the following questions: how can we preserve and restore film sound materials? What are the different approaches to film sound preservation and restoration? What are the problems and defects of different film sound carriers and apparatuses? Which kind of actions can be taken to solve those problems? How can the actions undertaken to preserve film sound be recorded and documented? How is it possible to exhibit and display film sound in present-day theatres? The answers to these questions as provided by the case studies will contribute to the definition of the nature of film sound, which will be elaborated in chapter five.

I further thank Eef Masson and Giovanna Fossati for making possible the study film archiving in the first place, and their continuous academic support throughout the course. I owe gratitude to Gerard de Haan, Frank Bruinsma, Alan Marcus, Albert Edgar and Brian Pritchard for their advice on technical issues. Thank you Tulta, Nadja, Jasper and Nick for the community, your comradeship and spiritual guidance. Bill Brand has been a great mentor, beyond film archiving. Will Sweeney, Elena Rossi- Snook, Steve Cossman and Ron Magliozzi contributed substantially to the coming into being of this work, with their willingness to share knowledge and expertise. Thank you, Monica, Dessane and Ted for conversations about immensity (and political correctness). Thanks to Janneke, for invigorating lunch breaks, and to Raoul for his trust. Thank you, Max, for the late-night scanning session. Above all, my deepest gratitude belongs to my family and friends, for putting everything in the right place.
