However they did it, it's VERY effective although, I suppose, it could easily have been done in the transfer to the B&W print. I'm disappointed but hey, at least they made a B&W film that's very very good and maybe we'll get more. ab On 11/4/05, bill harting <vintagebill@verizon.net> wrote: > Filmmaker magazine reports this production information for "Good Night..." > > Production Format: 35mm. > Camera: Two Panavision Millenniums with 11:1 zoom lenses. > Film Stock: Kodak Vision2 500T 5218. > Editing System: Avid Media Composer Version 11. > Color Correction: Autodesk Fire system to conform the entire movie, > including the archival clips; density grade performed with da Vinci 2K Plus > technology; film-out via ARRI laser recorders onto Kodak 2302, > polyester-based, B&W release stock. > - > Kodak 5218 is a color negative film, 2302 is B&W > > bill h > > (Great colors in the film.
