◗ Around the World in 65mm The filmmakers photographed this high-angle view of Muslim pilgrims in Mecca from the vantage of a hotel next to the Sacred Mosque. were finely tuned enough to bring more than 20 hours of footage to the editing room in Los Angeles. FotoKem in Burbank transferred the 65mm negative at 1920x1080 resolution on a Cintel Millennium datacine for the offline edit. Fricke, Magidson and Earle cut the film using ProRes 422 HQ media in Final Cut Studio 2 before sending their EDLs back to FotoKem, where 65mm selects were digitized at 8K on an Imagica 12K Bigfoot 65mm scanner in the first step of a post workflow modeled after Baraka’s 2008 restoration. The 8K files, at 200MB per frame, were backed up and simultaneously downrezzed to 4K for visual effects and cleanup work. According to Reyna, the only times 70mm prints were struck from the original camera negative were for the “definitive doublecheck” for vignetting and focus in selected shots. 60http://www.nila.com http://www.nila.com
