I don't think it had SDDS because my print had clear edges.

Also, heads and tails were printed in French because they used a lab in Canada.

My print had a regular english head(yellow title highlight) on the first reel with no attached trailer. About, I want to say ten to twenty feet after the soundtrack-less Logo was a clear splice. The tail was like the other reels with the french. My guess is something was wrong with the original Logo on the print and was replaced by reprints from another lab(although said clear splice was during the actual feature).

Indeed no SDDS as different reels were on preprinted green-edge stock with no SDDS info, and plain stock. The cans were labeled Quad.

If the printer soundhead light for the SDDS is left on, you will have data-less cyan-colored edges if the sound negative did not have SDDS recorded. If the printer soundhead light is turned off, you will have clear edges.

Hope this is not classed as chit chat.

Does anyone know what format it was shot on?

From the trailers it looks like it was shot on video.

I looked on the IMDB which says that it's 35mm Panavision. [Confused]

EDIT: OK i've been reading up.

It's a mix of DV and 35mm. (Mostly DV). Film was used for some of the slow motion scenes.

Much of it was shot on HD video:

HBS Review

quote:
"Two Brothers", however, has regrettably been shot in High Definition video (with the occasional 35mm sequence), and the film has a pasty, grainy video look to it, and comes off as more distracting than visually sound. (Most likely that because the HD has been blown up for Cinemascope 35mm prints, everything is magnified.) I understand the use of digital photography to get closer to the animals, and I'll admit that they act beautifully infront of cameras, but the film is nearly an eyesore.

Oregon Live Review

quote:
Much of "Two Brothers" was shot on digital HD (that would be videotape, though a very nice brand of it), so the film often has that unsavory video flicker whenever anyone or the camera moves too quickly. Cinephiles will be appalled,
