Shooting & Posting Introduction
For a Digital to Film Output or Digital Projection Master
By Digital Film Specialist, James D. Tocher

Video was meant to be seen on relatively small monitors. Whether HD, NTSC or PAL, these formats were not originally designed to be seen on huge theater screens. That means a lot of what you think you see won't be seen you until you blow it up 25 or even 50 feet wide…it’s then you may suddenly see things you never knew were there, like video noise or detail artifacts…

Digital Film Group has years of experience in taking digital footage from the small screen dreams to big screen reality. Here we compile a list of video issues

that can get you thinking about what to watch out and potentially save you money while increasing the quality of whatever source you started from…

A small disclaimer: Since every production, camera and format has it's specific issues, this list is not meant to be a substitute for pre-production planning, testing, and consultation with our Digital Film Specialists.
