Enrique Lombana Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Hi All, Quick question, if you shoot on film, regular 35mm or whatever, and then it gets telecined and put on a tape, and then you edit it and then make a print from the edited version, how does the new print have the same resolution as the original negative? Doesn't the telecine grab it at only 1K or 2K or am I missing a step here? Thanks for your time, Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your time, Rick It does not, but what you do is get the film transfered to a format like DvCam with keycode and timecode info such that you can have the original 35mm negative cut and contact printed from a cut list you make in the editor. Negative cutting is the traditional way it's been done long before computers. Many feel that a direct contact print is better than a 4K DI and the costs are far less. For an example go see "There Will Be Blood" as that film was a Contact print without a Digital Intermediate. -Rob- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
