I'm sorry i asked. I'm just a small biz owner trying to get max quality
for a limited budget. I'm not an expert in this subject at all. I spoke
with a tech and he told me that dvcpro50 is a very "high quality"
format close to 35mm. I thought that it might be a reasonable
alternative. I called all the necessary people about the 35mm and what
I came up with is that 2000 ft of 35mm filmed, processed, and developed
and also a 35mm camera rented for a day would cost about $5000, but if
I don't pay for the necessary talent I could end up with a really big
waste of film and money. Does anyone know what the next best thing is
below 35mm and an estimated production cost? Also Richard why can you
see the quality difference on tv (ntsc/pal) when using beta sp vs 35mm?
