After Effects and film resolution
In my small motion graphics business I am keen on offering a film title service for independent film productions. But I have never dealt with film resolution before.
Are there any pitfalls?
And what is the industry-standard way of delivery the finished opening titles?
Is there any good training resources on the net about graphics and film?I run AEPro 6.5 on 2x Dual G5s.

You should talk to the local labs about specs, as they’re the ones who will be getting your digital files. Hey, buy ’em lunch. You’ll be a client eventually.
… and some of the film stuff is covered in Chris and Trish Meyer’s “Creating Motion Graphics”, volume 2.
Anybody else?

And what is the industry-standard way of delivery the finished opening titles?< Plenty of gotchas and, no, there are no standards for anything in this biz anymore. Film generally goes at 2k or 4k rez, not a problem for AE. The problems are image format, pixel aspect ratio and getting s decent designer who understands not only titling but effects. There's a book on amazon about titling for movies. bogiesasn This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”
