#FIATIFTADubai2013 Paul Collard: “The Future of Film Scanning”

Initial Assessment & Strategy

• Types of film to be scanned ? • Film Formats?

• Purpose of film scanning?

• Condition of the films ?

• Will the films themselves be preserved in future?

Originals, Intermediates, Prints?

35mm/16mm/8mm/others?

High End Restoration?Preservation/Access?

Damaged/Shrunken?Chemical Decay?Dye Fading/Bad joins?

Answers to these questions inform the scanning strategy and the budget options.

Scanning Options- high end restoration

6K/4K & 3K/2K scanning16 bit oversampling Outputs 4K and 2K DPX 10bit Log filesCan also output 16bit linear/log files Register pin frame by frame transport Gentle & safe film handling Infra red defect map availableNon real time scanning (1-8fps)LED ‘cold’ illumination

Scanning Options- high end restoration

4K & 2K scanning16 bit image capture Outputs 4K and 2K DPX 10bit Log filesCan also output 16bit linear/log files Continuous capstan driven transport Gentle & safe film handlingTolerant of shrunken, damaged film Real time scanning 2K, 15fps @ 4KDiffuse Kodak designed illuminationSound capture simultaneous with

Scanning Options- Preservation & Access

Real time 2K/HD scanning16 bit image capture Outputs 2K DPX 10bit Log files or HDCan also output 16bit linear/log files Continuous capstan driven transport Gentle & safe film handlingDiffuse Kodak designed illuminationSound capture simultaneous with

pictureMultiple workstations, metadata & editWrite to LTO data tape

Scanning Options- Proxy Access only

Real time SD/HD scanningSound capture simultaneous with

pictureStable film handlingOutput to workstations, metadata &

editUseful for low cost image captureWebsite applications for clip selectionFilm requires a re-scan for

preservation

Future Developments

Greater automation links to restoration via infra red dirt map

BUT use with caution, beware of over restoration

Extending dynamic range ACES, floating point bit depth

Improved software to correct bad joins post scanning

High efficiency workflows & QC methods to maintain scanning

output
