Jake Kerber Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 How far can you zoom into 35mm film negative when doing a 2K D.I. scan without introducing any noticeable artifacts? Thanks in advance. -Michael Jacob Kerber D.P. L.A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted November 4, 2006 Premium Member Share Posted November 4, 2006 Just depends on the shot, how much detail you need to see (a close-up of a face can look softer than a wide establishing shot), how it was originally shot (in sharp, harder light vs. softer light, underexposed vs. overexposed, fast film vs. slow film, sharp lens vs. soft lens, size of the negative, etc.) Personally, I'd limit myself to 10% or so, whatever that means exactly. You do have the option of scanning that shot in 4K, doing the resize, and then converting to a 2K file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Dan Goulder Posted November 4, 2006 Premium Member Share Posted November 4, 2006 Will you be monitoring on a 2K projector? If you get a chance to experiment, please share the results with us. I'd be interested in knowing just how much latitude you had percentage wise. Thanks.

Premium Member adam berk Posted December 23, 2006 Premium Member Share Posted December 23, 2006 It also depends on how you're finishing. For example... If I'm finishing a spot for TV, but working with HD material, in smoke* I will bring the full res HD clip back onto the SD master and do my move or zoom on that.
