guys, what’s the best resolution 35mm can achieve?

Author

Thank you. Also, I think I read somewhere that recent estimates put 35mm somewhere between 6-8k, but I don’t know much about film stock so I don’t know how accurate that is.

I’m no expert but given some things I’ve read I think in motion it’s not nearly that high.

These are the three original story ideas I’m most keen on getting to work developing into screenplays:

***

13:00 AM

Born in 1966, 19-year-old Nate Reisner is a teenager living in 1985. Born in 1978, 17-year-old Ele Draven is a teenager living in 1995. In both 1985 and 1995 there exists the old Victorian-styled house on 130 Haverstraw Lane, abandoned since the 1960s. When Nate and Ele decide to visit that house late at night, they find in the attic a mysterious door which leads nowhere. In the nanoseconds between 12:59 & 1:00 AM, the door becomes a portal to a place beyond space and time. Stepping through that portal, Nate and Ele are transported to a universe where their dreams — and nightmares — are the stuff of reality.

***

Empyrean

A transgendered prostitute haunted by her past finds herself pursued by a fundamentalist serial killer who may be less than human.

***

The Slow and the Dead

Decades ago, a shower of comets struck the Earth, devastating the Earth and killing millions. Of the humans which survived the initial cataclysm, one-third died after a viral agent secreted within the comets was released, transforming them into non-violent but incredibly infectious undead known as “slow zombies” (slombies). Half of the remaining living — those who had escaped exposure to virus but were still susceptible to it — retreated to impenetrable fortresses, leaving the rest — immune carriers of the virus — to eke out lives in the harsh wilderness beyond.

One man — a scrounger with a motorcycle, a shotgun, and a large bag of chocolate chips — finds himself riding the empty wastelands, coming into conflict with murderous highwaymen, paranoid Unaffecteds, violent slombie cults, and unscrupulous sex traffickers.

***

The first two are the ones I’m more interested in getting to work on, but I don’t know which to start with. Empyrean’s the most spiritual/existential, but also supremely depressing and body-horrific; I’m not sure I want to go there right now. 13:00, on the other hand, is the most light-hearted and fun, but damned if I know what the actual plot’s about.

I like the idea of 13:00, but you need to know who the two main characters are, since presumably, they’re the ones that will be learning about themselves. I also like the concept of the house.

It’s almost amusing how my mother and sister think every female rock singer with a 'tude/husky voice is a lesbian — almost, but not quite.

I first read that as “…every female rock singer is a 'tude with a lesbian - almost, but not quite.”

So I thought you were saying it should be “a lesbian with a 'tude.”

But now I’m straight on my reading of it at least.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup cocoa
  • ½ cup butter (1 stick)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 1 cup chopped or broken-up walnuts or pecans
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Pinch of salt

 
Preparation

  1. Heat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Melt butter in saucepan with cocoa and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool for a few minutes, then transfer to a large bowl. Whisk in eggs, one at a time. Stir in vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine sugar, flour, nuts and salt. Add to the cocoa-butter mixture. Stir until just combined.
  4. Pour into a greased 8 x 8-inch-square pan. Bake 30 to 35 minutes. Do not overbake; the brownies should be gooey. Let cool, then cut into bars.
