Author Topic: 350mm Film! Ben Wales Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 602 From: Southampton. England Registered: Jul 99 posted 02-09-2002 05:31 PM                     Accordingly to the official web site for the 1570 Theatre I work at, in the film stats we screen 350mm film!. Wow!, that would be some huge projector to lace up!  |  IP: Logged Joe Beres Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 606 From: Minneapolis, MN, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 02-09-2002 05:57 PM                     The image quality would be amazing though. Let me know when you get a print. It might be worth the trip over.  |  IP: Logged John Walsh Film God Posts: 2490 From: Connecticut, USA, Earth, Milky Way Registered: Oct 1999 posted 02-09-2002 06:00 PM                     350mm film!

Crudely said, the larger the format, the shallower the depth of field.  |  IP: Logged German Marin Expert Film Handler Posts: 227 From: Verbania (VB), Italy Registered: Jul 2001 posted 02-09-2002 06:38 PM                     How many guys it needs to splice this film? (It's a little mistake for typer but is worst for the reader.)  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-09-2002 07:56 PM                     German, Actually your typing and English is really good.

Nothing less than 120 frames per second would be acceptable on 350mm film. You'd have to have huge merry-go-rounds for platters that spin at some crazy speeds! Either that or a changeover every 23 seconds.  |  IP: Logged Phil Connolly Film Handler Posts: 80 From: Derby, England Registered: May 2000 posted 02-10-2002 03:33 AM                        Ben, Is this the Imax in Birmingham? I saw a reference to 350mm film on their website a few months ago. I emailed them about it but got no reply. I guess its because the Imax frame is 10 times larger than 35mm, therefore it 'must' be 350mm.  |  IP: Logged Phil Connolly Film Handler Posts: 80 From: Derby, England Registered: May 2000 posted 02-10-2002 03:44 AM                        The site: http://www.thinktank.ac/imax/  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 02-10-2002 04:16 AM                        I'm not seeing where it specifies 350mm.  |  IP: Logged Phil Connolly Film Handler Posts: 80 From: Derby, England Registered: May 2000 posted 02-10-2002 04:30 AM                        It's on the flash animation under the pink header "Imax stats".  |  IP: Logged Dick Vaughan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1032 From: Bradford, West Yorkshire, UK Registered: Jul 2000 posted 02-10-2002 05:45 AM                        Ben /Phil I saw this just after the site went live and also sent them a note ,but sadly they ignored that as well. Not to be outdone when in 1985 we installed the CP200 our local film critic wrote in the evening paper " The National Museum has now overtaken the Odeon and will soon be screening state of the art 700mm films with 6 track Dolby stereo "  |  IP: Logged
