Msg 46338 is 12 line(s) on 06/21/93 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to ALL re: MOVIES & COMPUTERS Just got back from seeing Jurassic (sp?) Park. Special effects: Great! Apparently many movie techniques like J.P. & morphing in Terminator II, are done on computer. But I have a question: what is the OUTPUT device? I mean, how can you do something with a computer, and when shown on 70mm or 35mm on a huge movie screen, not look like it was computer generated? Is it, like, 4000 x 4000 resolution or something like that, and filmed in multiple exposures, i.e. one for red, one for green, one for blue - so that they don't need a "shadow mask" which would show up? I've bought some large pictures like of Mandelbrots, but you could see the shadow mask. Thanks! Msg 46339 is 05 line(s) on 06/21/93 from MURRAY ARNOW to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/MOVIES & COMPUTERS It is possible to transfer a computer image directly to film with laser imagers( medical images are reproduced to a high degree of resolution this way). I assume that it should be possible using the same technology to make multiple exposures of an image to get color reproduction. The latter is strictly a guess. Msg 46340 is 07 line(s) on 06/23/93 from GARY ELFRING to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: MOVIES & COMPUTERS I've had a number of computer boxes done of late. They design the entire package on a computer, the computer does the color separation, and the computer outputs directly to negatives. In my case the boxes were done at 2400 dpi on negative sheets that are 3 feet by 2 feet. From what I've heard, movies are done in the same way, only they have special computers - the resolutions are higher than 4000 dpi. dup. chars. >Function:?
