Although I am sure it looks nice, I am also shure that it will never happen. The industry's push at the moment is towards digital projection. One of the reasons for the push is to save money on physical print distribution costs like airmailing you prints overnight. for that reason and many others, the industry isn't going to adopt a format that uses twice as much film. Although, come to think of it, Kodak should be pushing for this format so they can increase film sales.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 02-24-2002 08:53 PM                        Here's the link: http://www.maxivisioncinema.com/ ------------------ John P.

Since it's a 3-perf pulldown running at 48fps, it will only use 50% more film than regular 4-perf pulldown running at 24fps, correct?  |  IP: Logged
