Author Topic: Digitalscope? James Robertson Film Handler Posts: 40 From: Sydney, Australia Registered: May 2001 posted 07-26-2002 05:34 AM                     I recently saw "Last Orders Please" and note that in I.M.D.B. the format is listed as Digitalscope! Can someone enlighten me.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 07-26-2002 09:21 AM                        I believe DigitalScope is a tradename for Digital Film Lab's digital intermediate for Super-16 film originals: http://www.digitalfilmlab.com ------------------ John P.

If l'ast orders' was shot on S16, it was a good print for a 16mm blow up. If it was shot on S35 i would say it was a soft looking print that I showed. Ive shown a film which was shot on DV and released as a Scope 35mm print which was credited at the end as in Digitalscope, I think it might of being 'Sex and Lucia' But i can't promise it was that film.

Everyone knows it always rains North of Watford ! Still, at least the picture was taken in the last 20 years and the hair colour is your own !  |  IP: Logged James Robertson Film Handler Posts: 40 From: Sydney, Australia Registered: May 2001 posted 07-27-2002 04:28 AM                     Thanks for pointing to their site John. Interesting process. I agree Darren. Looked too good to be Super16.
