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.

  • FILM FORMATS ------8 Mm Film Is a Motion Picture Film Format in Which the Filmstrip Is Eight Millimeters Wide
    FILM FORMATS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8 mm film is a motion picture film format in which the filmstrip is eight millimeters wide. It exists in two main versions: regular or standard 8 mm and Super 8. There are also two other varieties of Super 8 which require different cameras but which produce a final film with the same dimensions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Standard 8 The standard 8 mm film format was developed by the Eastman Kodak company during the Great Depression and released on the market in 1932 to create a home movie format less expensive than 16 mm. The film spools actually contain a 16 mm film with twice as many perforations along each edge than normal 16 mm film, which is only exposed along half of its width. When the film reaches its end in the takeup spool, the camera is opened and the spools in the camera are flipped and swapped (the design of the spool hole ensures that this happens properly) and the same film is exposed along the side of the film left unexposed on the first loading. During processing, the film is split down the middle, resulting in two lengths of 8 mm film, each with a single row of perforations along one edge, so fitting four times as many frames in the same amount of 16 mm film. Because the spool was reversed after filming on one side to allow filming on the other side the format was sometime called Double 8. The framesize of 8 mm is 4,8 x 3,5 mm and 1 m film contains 264 pictures.

  • I32-1997 the Use of Super 16 Mm Film for Television Production
    EBU Technical Information I32-1997 The Use of Super 16 mm Film for Television Production EBU Committee First issued Revised Re-issued PMC 1997 Keywords: Film, 16:9 Telecines 1. Introduction This EBU Technical Information document reports on the way and extent that EBU Members and their programme suppliers use Super 16 mm film in 4:3 and 16:9 television production. A questionnaire was sent to EBU Members and other organisations involved in programme production for EBU Members. Replies were received from 36 organisations; 31 broadcasting organisations and 5 film and/or video post-production organisations. The replies showed that 26 organisations were using Super 16 mm; 22 of these were broadcasters located in Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, Greece, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The present Technical Information document is based on the replies to the questionnaire. In a parallel exercise, the EBU has attempted to give a comparison between the costs of using Super 16 mm and 35 mm film for television production. This comparison is given in Appendix 1 2. Main Applications of Super 16 mm Film 2.1 Types of programme produced on Super 16 mm film Super 16 mm film is mainly used for single camera drama and documentary production. The final product may be intended for television release only, or, in the case of a co-production, it may be intended for both television and cinema release. 2.2 Reported advantages in the use of Super 16 mm film The reported advantages of producing in Super 16 mm film, as compared to 35 mm film, are lower costs of camera film and equipment, lower costs of film laboratory services, and a smaller technical staff needed for shooting.

  • 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.
