http://www.editorsguild.com/newsletter/MayJun02/digital_intermediate.html "On the feature We Were Soldiers, the negative was "overscanned" at 4K, and the resulting data was then down-sampled to 2K, yielding a crisper image than a straight 2K scan, but making it possible to work more quickly and efficiently. Seasoned film timer Mike Stanwick, on loan from Deluxe, was brought in to help with the digital timing. Efilm's proprietary timing and conforming software is resolution-independent, and allows 2K and 4K scans to be mixed in the same reel, a feature that's useful for things like resizes and push-ins. In an effort to eliminate lab timing entirely, Efilm's Arrilaser film recorders are recalibrated constantly to compensate for chemistry fluctuations and the high definition video projector used in timing has settings that closely emulate each film emulsion used. According to Efilm's president, Joe Matza, We Were Soldiers is the first film to have been fully mastered at true 2K resolution, timed entirely on a computer and released with no lab timing. Editor William Hoy was very satisfied with the process and indicated that digital intermediate gave the team creative possibilities that they couldn't have had otherwise."
