Film Festival Transfer Question (ALL CAPS edited out by admin)
by Timothy Anderson on Jun 2, 2008 at 12:20:14 am

Hello,

I have a short film in several film festivals, thus requiring format transfers to HDCAM, DigiBeta, and Mini-DV. I have already supplied the post house with an uncompressed Quicktime of the short, which was shot at 24p (16x9) 720p with the HVX-200. Now, when doing the transfer to the tapes, the guy from the post house told me I could 4x3 it or letterbox it. I chose to letterbox it to preserve aspect ratio. Now, however, I am reading about 16x9 Full Height Anamorphic Digibeta - is that a better solution for film festival projection? What is the best format of the two for festival projection onto cinema screens? The post house didn't even mention that Full Height Anamorphic 16x9 digibeta was an option? In fact, I had no idea it existed until I read about it. Is this a different kind of Digibeta tape? Or just a method for the transfer any post house should do? I got the transfer done at Sun Media in Las Vegas. Should I have the transfers re-done into this format? How can a tape format be anamorphic? Please, any advice helps.

Thanks
Tim
