Digital Film recording expense

Not in the USA. This kind of interference in private enterprise is absolutely unacceptable unless public airwaves are involved, when it would fall under the auspices of the FCC.

I know what you mean, but every company needs local government approval to build in the zone it wants to build in; or to have an area zoned for entertainment etc; a clause requiring the movie theatre to provide a screen etc for indies could be written into the contract before building. Hence it would be another commercial consideration for any company to consider, just like health care for its employees or obeying environmental legislation..

I hate to belabor this, but what exactly would the tangible benefit to society be that would justify this? Is it sensible for a government in a country with free speech to force businessmen - i.e., theater owners - to give the public a continuing supply of things they don't usually want to see in the first place? Do you really see the general population clamoring for the ability to see independent movies? Are you serious in comparing government enforced screenings of movies to the need for health care??

Rembrandt is real time becasue it works with proxies just as I described. It cannot be slowed down by large frame sizes because you use a format like DVCPROHD for the proxy which can play back with corrections in real time.

However what I meant by scratch is that the color correction work would start with the raw data from the camera if possible, and each shot timed by the colorist with the filmmaker, instead of starting with frames that were already corrected.

So then you do a full render from the full files? I can't imagine doing a full DI working in 4:2:2 8-bit space (which is what dvcpro hd is). I don't know the Rembrandt, but that strikes me as a bit strange. Is that just for a color pass with the client in the room?
 
Anyone have any thoughts about possible cheaper filmouts in Southeast Asia (Thailand, Singapore, Phillippinnes, etc)?

I saw Star Wars, Episode III, Revenge of the Sith for sale on DVD at the Hong Kong border crossing a full two weeks before the film was released in theatres. We bought one for $3.00 US to send to Lucasfilm upon our return. The store we bought it from was located in the shopping mall run by the Chinese government, surrounded by Border Police and soldiers. I would be careful about where I sent my intellectual property. You may get an unbeatable price, but is it worth undercutting an entire exhibition market to get it? Besides, Red Ray changes the economics of filmed exhibition. Do you really NEED a filmout? I think the market for 4K filmout will grow, but mostly in the archiving sector.
 
Many Arrilasers and others in HKG and in BKK to do film out but not for me though.

HK: DMC@Cyberport/ IVE-Kwun Tong / Shaw Studio / ASIA Legend /
BKK: Onpa and many others ....Katana, Oriental Post, The Post - BKK etc.

Also for Digital Cinema Sound mastering ( MBS, a endorsed DTS and Dobly partner in ASIA )

My belief is Films and Film projectors are going very soon to stay forever in the Museum.

RED RAY + REDCODE based Digital Projection system will be coming in early 2009, may I ask why we need " Film-out " ?

USD25K for 90 mins then each Film copy at USD1.3K for x amout of Film based Cinemas !!!

Cheers,

Stewart
