  “AS GOOD AS IT GETS”

Kees van Oostrum, ASC & Bill Bennett, ASC
In cooperation with the
UCLA Dept. of Film & Television

65mm & 35mm Production / 4K Projection Demo

James Bridges Theatre, UCLA, Thursday June 21st - 7 p.m.
Park in Structure 3 (Enter off Hilgard Av, at the Wyton Dr. Entrance)

To a cinematographer, the image is the soul of our art, constantly inspiring us to seek
the ultimate in image quality.   Many of us believe the quality of images seen in the
cinema can be greatly improved.  In fact there are now several generations of filmmakers
and audience members who have never experienced the ultimate in cinema image quality.

This demonstration is designed to explore the possibilities for improving image quality to
maximize the movie-going experience. It is based on practical experiences of Kees van
Oostrum, ASC, who directed and shot "We Fight To Be Free," which recently opened at the
Mt. Vernon Visitors Center in Virginia, and Bill Bennett, ASC, who directed and shot a
test conceived by Arri.  Scenes were shot in 65mm 5 perf, Anamorphic 35mm and Su-per 35mm
Spherical, then combined through digital intermediate post production.

The 65mm negative was scanned at 8k resolution and down-sampled to blend with the 35mm
scanned at 6k in a 4K DI workflow.

The demonstration will include state-of-the-art 4K digital projection of a direct
comparison of the same scenes shot in all three formats.  We will also show a first
generation 35mm contact print made from an internegative created with an Arrilaser
recorder of the same source material.  You will also see something shown only once before:
  a “zero generation” print recorded directly onto 35mm release print stock in the Arrilaser.

The final demonstration is not to be missed:  We will project a 70mm contact print made
from the original 65mm camera negative.  This is an opportunity to see "how good it can
get" and discuss the possibilities for a new golden age of cinema.
