Description
For well over a decade, the SIGGRAPH community has been at the forefront of digital creation and processing of motion picture images. However, live-action principal photography is still primarily acquired on 35mm motion picture film, and the end result is displayed on 35mm motion picture film. This course described the technology of D-cinema acquisition and display, and discussed the interface between D-cinema and digital image creation and editing.
