Post Production Synergy of Video and Film with Archival Quality

The legacy of humankind is represented by how well we have documented our past achievements and how well they have been preserved. The creative efforts of computer generated cinematography is at risk of deterioration if archival techniques are not applied. A unique technological development has now made it possible to record high resolution cinema imagery directly on archival black and white silver halide film in the post production process as separations for a red, green and blue composite. The application of a high speed electron beam recorder as developed by Image Graphics will create on high resolution silver halide film a permanent archival master interpositive. Motion picture magic will occur when each frame of the 72 black and whites are recorded for one (1) second of imagery. In addition, the versatility of format is almost boundless and the same high resolution can be applied to all motion picture formats including 70mm. The larger venues in particular can take advantage of this technique for a truly spectacular presentation.
