When a film opts to shoot on 35mm with anamorphic lenses and go through a digital intermediate, whether it be at 2K or 4K, what is the standard for scanning resolution when recording back to film? I ask because Super35 4-perf at 2K will be 2048x1536 pixels during the scan or telecine, but as anamorphic uses slightly less of the horizontal film area it would be 1828x1536. Would the anamorphic scan be slightly uprezzed to 2048 horizontal by 1712 vertical pixels and recorded out to film or be recorded out at 1828 horizontal by 1536 vertical pixels? Is the number of vertical pixels something other than 1536?
I have tried to find the answer online but I haven't as of yet. As someone with an obsessive compulsive tendency I find it hard to drop this thought. I would appreciate anyone answering this small but 'impossible to get out of my head' riddle so I can lay it to rest.
Hi, I suggest 2K (2048 X 1556) resolution is enough for 35mm anamorphic. If u ask for Super35 4-perf -- after DI the output is 2048 X 872 is recorded to 1828 X 1556 (without audio gate) . I hope this information will help u what u ask if not please ignore.
