I'm an avid skier (I want a night projectionist trainee job in Telluride!). I've started to notice the ads for this in the ski magazines. "Exclusively at AMC, now in 35mm, the way it was meant to be." Or some such thing. Many of these ski films were shot to video. This one is done by "Teton Gravity Research" and will be basically a bunch of nuts flying off cliffs. If you're a skier, you will enjoy some of the exotic locations and crazy descents.Funny thing is (and I noticed this in other ads for other ski movies), if you look close, the actual one-sheet for this film says "A new 16mm movie" or "now in 16mm". So I wonder first, why shoot in 16mm? Second, will the conversion from 16 to 35 result in poor quality? Or, are they saying that this stuff is shot in 16mm video? (One other movie that talks about "new 16mm" is a straight to video release. Anyone out there still show Warren Miller? ------------------

Dave:Shooting in Super-16 and blowing up to 35 mm can give pretty good quality, certainly better than video or DV. If the producers knew they had a 35 mm market for the film, they might have chosen to shoot 35 mm camera negative to get even better quality. Of course, the "ultimate" is 65 mm IMAX format, and there have been some great "extreme" films shot in that format (e.g., "Everest"). In addition to image quality, one real advantage film has over video for this type of movie is the flexibility, like extreme slo-mo. ------------------
