Hey guys, I have a challenge to overcome this weekend. I need to re-create a seamless white environment out of a regular bedroom wall. It is quite an indie/amateur production but we want to achieve the idea of "limbo" or imagination in this restricted space. We only have a 16feetX6feet wall, and are focusing on close-ups and tight mediums on single talents. So no full bodies. The light kit are two 650w (tweenies) fresnels at most. maybe we can get a 1k baby and a 250w inkie. I don't want any hard shadows or hot spots on the wall, best if no shadows at all. Im taking all kind of advices: light position, blocking/frame restrictions, minimum distance talent X wall or any hardware/appliance materials I can easily buy in like home depot! Thanks!

Sure do!

I will go on for HD transfer and work on the color and framing into a ProRes 4444 and HDCAM SR out. Thanks again!

Thanks guys! Just one doubt, so beteween choosing 2k and HD transfer in this case there isnt much difference on resolution, but is there on color range or grain if i transfer HD and project on HDCAM SR on a theater screen?

Hi, I just shot a short (about 1000 feet for final cut) in Super 16mm and had it processed and transferred to DVcam for editing. We have about 10 lab rolls. Now that we have a final cut we are going back to the lab with the EDL for re-transfers. Our film out will be HDCAM with a possible 35mm in the future (depending on screenings and festivals). I was wondering what would be the best DI workflow for this step. I know that 2k scans into DPX is the best resolution possible for this, but that in HD quicktime files there isn't much loss and the price is way more reasonable, and that would fit out indie budget better. We are looking to scan and grade on the lab all the way to HDCAM. We need reframing and color correction all through the footage. Would HD make it less manageable for that and I would not be able to print into film? and is 2k that much better and worth it for a short that will be mostly screened on HDCAM, TV and DVD? Thank You,
