Hey all,
thanks for the responses and opinions. The details are: we haven't started yet, shooting anamorphic and trying to decide on the finish style.
I guess the most opposition I met was from the lab. We're shooting in Toronto and working at Deluxe, so it's not a rinky dink operation or anything. I was told by a reputable post super that the last time he did it, they had to sped a considerable amount of money fixing splices because they couldn't pass QC on an HD master. I personally don't buy it, much like some are mentioning it's an age old process and I would really like to take advantage of the superior image that a chemically timed negative would produce.
Thanks for the responses. We will more than likely go through with it all on film, the only real worry is the northern weather turning on us half way through, if that happens we might need to get in there are repair it.
I'm really looking forward to working on film again, I am just finishing two red jobs and I am so sick of digital video!
I'm glad to find this board, thanks again.
