Any updates for us bender?

yep, but not good ones

today i received the tape with the trailer and it looks bad. the contract was that i get a hdv at 24fps file but i only got it in dv and that one was even in pal. this happened because the company had problems with their equipment and so they ask another company to help out which they f*cked it up. the other problem was that it wasn't a real telecine. they recorded it with a dv cam from the projected screen ok, if done right this can look pretty good but it will never look as good as a real telecine.

i also made a screenshot for you, so you can see how it looks like.



as you can see the picture isn't even straight and that is a big no no!!!
anyway, the company who originaly was hired to do the job gave me the money do the problems. i asked them if they can contact me when they setled their equiment problems and redo the whole thing.

so what does this mean for you trailer nerds? quite simple: we either forget this entire thing and see it this way: if we want real quality, then we have to hire real professionals and pay for the wanted quality.
the other thing we can do is this: we have to hire real professionals and pay for the wanted quality.this would mean a lot more money is needed. about 300 - 400 €, maybe less
what will you get? you get a real telecine taken by an arri laser scanner. yes the one they use for films to put them on dvd

it's up to you folks

nontheless, a very special thank you for all members who contributed so far for our expirement :big grin:
