There is some news, anyone who has signed up for the newsletter wil be getting it very shortly - we have been working our arses off trying to get everything bedded down so the real work can begin. You wouldn't believe the amount of groundwork that has gone into this so far.

I've been concentrating on the 'jaggies' issue over the last few weeks, while part of it is the low resolution - it mostly turns out to be a problem with field movement during the telecine process as far as I can tell, upscaling the video to a point where we can do sub-pixel horizontal adjustment between the fields almost eliminates it completely once it is adjusted and scaled to anamorphic. Even when scaled back for letterbox the effect is greatly reduced.
The other thing I am now very happy with is the almost total lack of noise in the image - we are really only left with the film grain to contend with now that we have got our processes sorted - there is no real video noise to speak of, but this is definately not at the expense of detail.

Unfortunately I have been *very* sick of late, as well as moving house which has slowed us down a little, but there has been an explosion of activity and we are making real progress now.
Zion is busy converting all of what we have been doing into something more coherent than my ramblings to share with you all via the website and newsletter.

We are just proofreading it all now and resizig pics etc. so you will see some real news very shortly.
