ok, just to make things more confusing..

how about this..

there's a movie theater that i go to

that will allow for private screening of films

for a rental fee. i brought up star wars,

and this project, and they said sure they

can do it, as long as it not advertised or for profit, etc..

however, due to the soundtrack, and cleanup

etc.. maybe we'll ask them to project the

digitally restored version from a file or bluray.

so the chain of media would be:

======================================

35 mm film -> scanner -> digital restoration -> digital projection of film

if there wasn't any artifacts or aliasing, would an average

person be able to tell that it wasn't film being projected?

(most likely).. but maybe someone wouldn't notice it right

away.. it's still going to have reel change marks, etc.

half the time i'm watching it on screens or projected,

it 'feels' like film.. because of the gate weave, dust, dirt,

scratches etc, that are still currently there.

later
