Video
Dailies
Our beautifully timed video dailies are used for creative editorial
so that negative can be re-accessed for a scene-to-scene transfer,
or for a negative cut for film printing. We are experts in the
match-back to film process. If you are editing on video for
release on film, you should contact a negative cutter before
sending the film into the laboratory to be developed. This is
advised so that the film is transferred with the specifications
that a particular negative cutter can use to cut negative from
video work-tape.
Following, are several negative cutters located in the DuArt
Building. Please note that they are independent companies.

Blow-ups
to 35mm from 16mm and Super 16mm
The preeminent place for Blow-ups, DuArt engineered the first
computer-controlled optical printing machines able to handle
A&B zero-cut AND single-strand-cut negative for conform-in-camera
blow-ups!
Our computer controls the printer's movements, minimizing
stress on the original negative. Our optical printers are
calibrated to the timing information from our Color Analyzers,
so our Blow-up Intermediates and Blow-up Prints are beautifully
timed.
And because DuArt is expert
in handling multiple film formats, our experienced staff handles
the most complicated jobs and most discerning
clients.

Service Bureau
We also function as a service bureau for capture and output

Cineon
Film Scanning
We utilize Kodak's Cineon Genesis Plus Film Scanner. The Cineon
offers the highest quality scanning. The Cineon's DXR color
technology captures the full dynamic range of the image allowing
maximum control over color grading and manipulation. The CCD
sensor technology delivers sharp, clean images with zero defects.
A pin-registered film transport system maintains superior image
steadiness. A positive-pressure filtered-air system eliminates
dust. Custom dichroic filters are spectrally tuned to the color
dyes in Eastman Color Films to improve color separation, rendition
and signal-to-noise ratio. Click here for our
scanning specs.

Film
Recording
Once your titles and special effects are completed, our Arrilaser
Film Recorders
can shoot them to 35mm
up to 4K resolution.
|
Tape-to-Film
Transfers
We offer outstanding Tape-to-Film transfers to 16mm and 35mm
Film. We have a high resolution system to handle the growing
demand for 35mm. The 35mm process involves digitizing your video
or digital tapes to computer files. For NTSC source material,
we convert to 24 frames-per-second with a proprietary algorithmic
process that removes frames in a way that limits motion artifacts.
Then we uprezz the images to 2K resolution (2048 x 1556 pixels)
with interpolation. Our algorithmic process analyzes the original
pixels and creates new information (other methods just duplicate
original pixels.) We record to 35mm Kodak Intermediate Stocks
on one of our two Arrilaser Film
Recorders. For long projects, we recommend a 1-minute test
to see what it will look like before you commit to the entire
job. Take a look at some of our projects.
