(A film by Darren Aronofsky) Its in Black and White and grainy as hell, and beautiful! :) I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it yet. (Its on DVD too!) ;) - -Mark On Thu, 15 Feb 2001, Austin Franklin wrote: > I touched on this topic once before.

Given film 'grain' is different from frame to frame, I bet you get quite a better overall resolution (as far as what the eye sees) than you do with digital...since digital places the same sensor (its grain) at the same position in the frame from frame to frame... One frame of a film typically looks fuzzier than when you play the film... - ----------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Cohen (BALUG LHSA AFA) 226 San Carlos Street #1 "MIS people have sick, twisted San Francisco, CA 94110 little minds" -Linus Torvalds (home) (415) 970-9421 (pager) (888) 702-9872 (cell) (415) 290-7201 (work) (415) 633-1179 page-mark@binaryfaith.com *** The box said "Install NT 4.0 or better", so I installed UNIX *** - ----------------------------------------------------------------- - -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS/FA/MU d? s+:+ a- C++++ ULBS++++$ P- L+++ E--- W-(+++) N++ o?
