Author Topic: Disney DCP question Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 05-23-2015 12:10 PM                     I've noticed that Disney and Deluxe do not post information pertaining to the particulars of DCP encoding and what not - is Deluxe no longer involved in the release and distribution? Where online is this information posted (if at all)?  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 05-23-2015 02:44 PM                     What kind of information do you mean? I have never seen such information for any DCP. Edit: Oh, you mean this page? http://digitalcinema.bydeluxe.com/ Never noticed it before. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Justin Hamaker Film God Posts: 2253 From: Lakeport, CA USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 05-23-2015 03:49 PM                        Disney hasn't made those ingest letters available for The Avengers: Age of Ultron or Tomorrowland. Usually those ingest letters are posted at some point between Friday and Sunday prior to release. With Tomorrowland and Avengers, I received them by email on Tuesday, just 3 days ahead of the release.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-23-2015 10:48 PM                        Tomorrowland came with a fancier (3 page, full color, heavier paper) spec letter, similar to what Disney has done with its Pixar movies. I assume this is because Brad Bird (director of The Incredibles) may have insisted on it. There is also a Pixar-ish set of "projectionist trading cards" that contains all the same information, but unlike Pixar movies the backside of the cards are all the same "Tomorrowland logo" as opposed to having characters from the movie. Our Avengers print came with the same boring letter Deluxe always uses. All ripped to shreds as per normal.  |  IP: Logged Justin Hamaker Film God Posts: 2253 From: Lakeport, CA USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 05-24-2015 03:00 AM                        I feel cheated. Since we get most everything via satellite, I didn't get any trading cards or the fancy letter. Just a boring email.  |  IP: Logged
