    Product Data Sheet Spirit 4K® High-Performance Film Scanner with Bones and DataCine® Spirit 4K Film Scanner/Bones Combination Digital intermediate production – the motion picture workflow in which film is handled only once for scan- ning and then processed with a high-resolution digital clone that can be down-sampled to the appropriate out- put resolution – demands the highest resolution and the highest precision scanning. 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.

  • Simulation of Film Media in Motion Picture Production
    Simulation of film media in motion picture production using a digital still camera Arne M. Bakke, Jon Y. Hardeberg and Steffen Paul Gjøvik University College, P.O. Box 191, N-2802 Gjøvik, Norway ABSTRACT The introduction of digital intermediate workflow in movie production has made visualization of the final image on the film set increasingly important. Images that have been color corrected on the set can also serve as a basis for color grading in the laboratory. In this paper we suggest and evaluate an approach that has been used to simulate the appearance of different film stocks. The GretagMacbeth Digital ColorChecker was captured using both a Canon EOS 20D camera as well as an analog film camera. The film was scanned using an Arri film scanner. The images of the color chart were then used to perform a colorimetric characterization of these devices using models based on polynomial regression. By using the reverse model of the digital camera and the forward model of the analog film chain, the output of the film scanner was simulated. We also constructed a direct transformation using regression on the RGB values of the two devices. A different color chart was then used as a test set to evaluate the accuracy of the transformations, where the indirect model was found to provide the required performance for our purpose without compromising the flexibility of having an independent profile for each device. 1. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND The post-production work on a movie is typically carried out on digital representations of the movie frames. The use of digital technology has brought unique possibilities in all aspects of the post-production of a movie (editing, color grading, visual effects) to the creative community of filmmakers.
