  Varicam to film reverse telecine query

  Posted by John-nick on November 8, 2005 at 10:24 am

  I have been asked to have transferred to film from HD a 30 sec Spot
  that was shot on the Panasonic Varicam and mastered to 1920×1080 50i

  the 35 mm prints they require are the following:

  6 x 1.85:1 flat prints
  3 x cinemascope ratio prints 2.35:1

  Can anyone recommend a lab that can do this for me.
  Also what are the main issues I need to worry about in preparing the Video for delivery to the lab ?

  It was shot with FILM Rec and a Gama setting of 0.45. with -3db at 25 fps on the Varicam. Initially it was just going to be transferred to PAL. Now they want it on film and I have been told that there is no where in the Middle east that can do a reverse telecine print from HD.

  any advice much appreciated

  cheers nick

  I am doing this exact thing right now with a lab in the Toronto area called Cine-byte.

  I am sure if you send them the film on a drive they can baselight corect the 2k and do your film transfer. Try not to send a color corrected version as you will loose the benifits of correcting in the film color space.
