  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

What do you do with 2540p?

Hi Brook,

Sure if you went to DI that is true, but that assumes you have ane extra $100,000 in the budget. If you need a 35mm print then shooting Anamorphic or Acadamy 1:1.85 will tend to be cheaper than shooting S16 or Digital.

Sorry for my ignorance, I'm not used to film. Talking about Academy 1:1.85 isn't talking about S16?
And, again sorry for my ignorance, but what exactly means DI? Is it the process of going from film to digital and back to film, no matter what you do with your "intermediate", or that term necessarily imply important color management and whatever you can do with those data?
Asking this cause I imagined RED workflow tend to be cheaper than film also when a 35mm print would be needed

Thanks.

Hi Alvise,

1:1.85 is the standard aspect ratio in the cinema. You could frame for it in any format S16 or 16mm included.

A D.I. is a Digita Intermediate. Not all Hollywood feature films go through a D.I. as the process is not transparent, and costs from $100,000 - $300,000. You get what you pay for!

For a Video or HD finish the RED workflow (or any digital camera) will clearly save you money.

Shooting in the format of final delivery i.e. 4 perf R35 1:1.85 for cinema distribution will be the cheapest workflow if a DI is not required. Shooting S35 3 perf will save some money, that can be used towards DI costs.

Shooting digital has cash flow advantages, i.e you don't need to find the money for a film out until you have a sale agreed.
