Hey everybody thanks for all of your insights. I somehow did not get any email-notifications, so I just checked in now, and saw all your feedback. Thanks!! Talking to our post-supervisor, we found that bars on the sides, is the best way to do this, as have most of you experienced already. But I'm glad to have gotten a second opinion now. Regarding choice of aspect ratio, I'm not going to go into a artistic discussion. But yes - we are aiming to do a 2k DI and go back onto film. There is a possibility, that we not have the money in post, and that's why Im trying to get as much rez down on the tape, should I go straight from tape to film... Thanks guys! Soren

Hey everybody I'm shooting my thesis film at AFI in a month. We are right now debating to shoot it on 35mm 4-perf 1.37. And we'll probaply telecine to HDCAM-SR. My question is: Can a telecine-scan, use the entire spatial resolution of HDCAM-SR, by de-squeesing the 1.37 image out onto the 1920x1080 resolution?? I have tried to find out how people transfer a anamorphic neg in telecine to HD, but haven't really been able to find an answer. Hope somebody in here knows how to approach this?? Thanks Regards Soren

Hey everybody. I shot a short last summer, which was intended for TV/DVD and smaller festivals. So going film-out, was never a question I asked myself when shooting the film. I initially planned to make the movie look very grainy - like pushed 16mm. I was planning to add that in post, and we have done that. It's all good. But now, we apparently got a grant, that will support us in getting a film-out. If i can add my grainy look in the analogue proces when printing the film, then I want to do that! But so far, I haven't been able to find anyone, with experience in this field?? I found out that Deluxe does two different processes called ACE and CCE, that they apply when processing the print. These processes should bump up contrast and increase grain. Does anyone here have experiences with these or other similar processes?? Another thing that also came to mind, is how I prepare my HD-file(now in QT proresHQ), for the print on a Cinevator?? A normal contact print, prints a negative w. a very flat curve onto a high contrast positive w a steep characteristic curve. Don't I want to simulate this, in the file I output to the Cinevator. Well - I guess that's it. Hope some of you guys can help me out?? Thanks. Soren
