CORPSE BRIDE And The Holy Grail
From AWN News:
As part of a yearlong test between Warner Bros., Nippon Telegraph & Telephone and Toho Cinemas, CORPSE BRIDE will be the first film to be distributed over fiber-optic lines. The features will be in 4K format, the highest resolution currently available for digital cinema. The movies will be beamed over NTT's fiber-optic lines from WB's Burbank headquarters to three Toho theaters in Osaka and Tokyo.
What does this mean in laymans terms?
At the moment the highest res we can scan to film for projection in theaters is 2K. Yet we shoot with cameras capable of twice that resolution. This will be the first time Stop-Motion Animaton will be projected on the BIG SCREEN in all its frame by frame glory!
And don't hold your breath for Wallace & Grommit to follow suit...they can't...they shot in 35mm film.

I'd love to hear more about the edit pipe-line on that. When you are doing scnene to scene color correcting and rod removal and flicker fixing, and you are dealing with ENORMOUS frames...it takes a lot of RAM and memory..long renders.
How cool that distribution is now ALL digital! Does this change your plan of printing to 35mm with the DICK?
Tim Hittle was saying that even though he is shooting 16mm, he may have a digital delivery to festivals.
When I saw Robina Marchesi's documentary about Art Clokey it was shot on digital and 16mm and then projected digitally...it looked really clean and colorful.
