Late night typing again... if the movie is 6-8 TB (raw pics directly from the camera) and there are 6 reels, that's 1-1.33 TB per reel. (two e's)
1 reel = 20 min = 28800 frames... 208mb / frame... that doesn't sound right...?
According to this site: http://www.pgreen.co.uk/resolutionsize.htm
To store the basic scans for a 2K Digital Intermediate of a 90 minute feature:
- 1 second = 24 frames
- 1 min: 24 frames x 60 = 1440 frames per minute
- 90 min's: 1440 x 90 = 129 600 frames per feature film
- 12Mb x 129 600 = 1 555 200 Mb or over 1.5 Tb
Storage - 4K
- 48Mb x 129 600 = 6 220 800 Mb or over 6.2 Tb
So revise the numbers from 90 min to 120 or so and maybe there's some minor compression savings and thus -1, 6-8 TB values make sense.
those numbers all seem to make sense
we do have other factors.. the bit depth is a major one..
starting at the high end :
------------------------------
4k scan / 16 bit depth TIFF files - 2 hour movie
(including alpha channel with IR information for
dust and dirt)
= 20+ Terabytes
2k files / 10 bit depth TIFF files - 2 hour movie
= 8 - 10 T
1080p / 10 bit depth TIFF files - 2 hour movie
= 6 - 8 T
=====================================
Again, to keep things manageable we'll have to do
with the raw untouched files scaled down to 1080p.
And have them as an image sequence, such as TIFF/DPX.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
There might be some savings due to compression.
But if you're converting them to video, you can use
compression then.
Since we have might have multiple parts, and multiple
movies, we still have to figure out what to do with the
replacement parts, and the red reels versions too.
