	70 mm film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As used in camera, the film is 65 mm wide; for projection 2.5 mm are added along each outer side of the perforations for magnetic strips holding six tracks of surround sound, although in truth, the magnetic sound system is used now rarely.
		Film formats with a width of 70 mm have existed since the early days of the motion picture industry.
		Often, as in the case of 2001: A Space Odyssey, 70mm films were re-released on 35mm film for a wider distribution after the initial debut of the film.

	35 mm film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The film format was introduced into still photography as early as 1913 (the Tourist Multiple) but first became popular with the launch of the Leica camera, created by Oskar Barnack.
		Still cameras in 35 mm and the VistaVision motion picture format use a horizontal frame with is eight perforations wide, resulting in a wider aspect ratio of 3:2 and greater detail, as more of the negative area is used per frame.
		Most films today are shot and projected using the 4-perforation format, but cropping the top and bottom of the frames for a medium aspect ratio of 1.85 or 1.67.

		Synthetic Delrin is used for the runner strips in the film gate, pressure skates and pad shoes to prevent film disengaging from the sprocket teeth.
		Because the film tends to maintain as uniform a curvature as possible while running, the film curves in the center of the image towards the light.
		The film gate for 70 mm has a single, easily replaceable aperture plate and the 35 mm gate a vertically adjustable plate with three apertures for normal, wide screen and Cinema Scope.

		Film is unwound from the center of the platter through a mechanism called a "brain" which controls the speed of the platter's rotation so that it matches the speed of the film as it is fed to the projector.
		The film is premade in the 8 mm width, not split during processing as is the earlier 8 mm.
		Film prints equipped with CDS did not have the conventional analog optical or magnetic soundtracks to serve as a "back-up" in case the digital sound was unreadable.

	Encyclopedia: 70 mm film
		Cine 160 is a 35 mm film projection process proposed by Allan Silliphant whereby a single frame of film would occupy a length of six film perforations.
		Dolby Digital, 70 mm lost this advantage, and a significantly lower number of 70 mm prints are struck today.
		Recently, big waves in the 70 mm enthusiast crowd were made upon rumors that Terrence Malick would shoot The New World (2005) entirely on 65 mm; this was determined to be too expensive for the entire shoot, however, although certain portions were indeed shot in 65 mm.

	Film
		When the film is stopped, the camera shutter, which is geared to the film-transport mechanism, is opened for approximately 1/35 second and a single picture, or frame, is photographed on the film.
		The projector uses a shutter to block the light while the film is being transported to the next frame, a mechanism to transport the film, and a lens to focus the image on a screen, the size of which is limited by the capabilities of the lens and the amount of available light.
		When such a film is projected, the actual time of growth is diminished several thousandfold, and in the projected picture the plant apparently springs from the earth and unfolds its leaves in a matter of seconds.

	Compatible digital soundtracks for 70 mm motion picture film - Patent 6011610 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		In spite of these advances in analog soundtrack fidelity, film soundtracks had long been considered a candidate for digital coding due to the high cost of 70 mm magnetic soundtrack films and the perceived limitations of the matrix technology employed in 35 mm optical soundtrack films.
		It is an object of the present invention to provide a large format motion picture film soundtrack in the form of a photographically recorded two-dimensional array of symbols representing digital information which is readable and decodable by apparatus designed for reading and decoding a photographic digital soundtrack applied to 35 mm film.
		On 70 mm film, the sprocket hole dimensions and spacings are identical to that of 35 mm film.

	Movie History
		On December 28, 1895, several films were shown to a paying audience in the basement of the Grand Café, Paris.
		By the end of the century, 35 mm film, running at 16 frames per second, was commonly employed, although most scenes only lasted for between 15 and 60 seconds.
		Firstly, it was difficult to move the film past the optical sensor at a steady speed, especially as it was located in close proximity to the gate mechanism.

		Drawing the large-format film through the projector was a difficult technical problem to solve; conventional 70 mm systems were neither steady enough for the 586x magnification.
		William Shaw of IMAX adapted an Australian patent for film transport called the "rolling loop" by adding a compressed-air "puffer" to accelerate the film, and put a cylindrical lens in the projector's "gate" for the film to be vacuumed up against during projection.
		The IMAX format is generically called "15/70" film, the name referring to the 15 sprockets per frame of 70 mm stock.

		To conduct the static electricity away from the Reseau plate in the Data Camera, the side of the plate facing the film is coated with an extremely thin conductive layer which is led to the metallic parts of the camera body by two contact springs.
		Finally, The film used on Apollo-11 was the same type carried on the other flights - a Kodak special thin-based and thin emulsion double-perforated 70 mm film - which permitted 160 pictures in color or 200 on fl/white in each loading.

	Imax digital re-mastering opens new vistas for filmmakers, audiences (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The process scans every frame of a 35 mm film and converts it into a digital image, "optimizes" each frame by enhancing the image in a variety of ways (removing grain, eliminating unsteadiness, etc.) and finally reprints the images onto 70 mm film stock.
		The first film to debut in the new process, which opens today in Seattle and 21 other cities, is a retooled version of Ron Howard's 1995 space-survival epic, "Apollo 13." The results that were screened for critics earlier this week were, in a word, spectacular.
		Given the cost of the process ($2 million to $4 million per film), the unwieldiness of the prints ("Apollo 13" came in 34 pieces, weighing more than 400 pounds) and the fact that the films will be sharing the schedule with the usual Imax nature shorts, some naysayers doubt Imax has a gold mine here.

		But when 35 mm improved they quit using 70 mm film because the 35 mm film was just as good.

		Film features with a pure film process are 4th generation (Cut OCN, IP, IN, Print), so the contact printing also rolls off the response.

		The max effect comes from the size of the film used—IMAX works on 70 mm film, which is double the size of regular cinema-quality films that are made on 35 mm film.
		The secret behind the largeness of an IMAX movie is that the 70 mm film runs horizontally through both the camera and the projector (the width of the film is used as the height of the frame).
		The second secret is that there are 15 perforations per frame on an IMAX film, unlike in other 70 mm formats (a 35 mm film has four perforations per frame).
