Author Topic: multi-image slide show production Jonathan Smith Expert Film Handler Posts: 201 From: Youngstown, OH Registered: Jan 2010 posted 11-27-2010 11:14 AM                     I think 8K (45 megapixels) is too MUCH resolution for a film recorder, unless you are outputting onto a fine-grained dupe film like EDUPE (Kodak's slide duplicating film). A regular 100 speed slide film, you'd be fine with 4- or 6K. That being said, I agree that slides can far surpass any digital projection alternative. Just like the movie business though, it seems that no one, not even the theatre owners, gives a about anything concerning image quality.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

Going with less will degrade from the original and I firmly believe it is better to have the digital be in excess of the film you are going to output to ensure the digital part does not negatively impact the film output. -Steve  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"

LibraryThing has an image of the front cover on this page.

I've still got about a dozen in My warehouse. Those were Great $$$ days when I did Multi-image. My "work" was featured in the opening scene of "Chain Reaction". If you ever catch it on TV as the professor is giving His lecture you'll see My Slide show & dissolves. If you look quickly during a POV shot you'll see me sitting to the left of My machines during a slide dissolve. Them were fun times.  |  IP: Logged
