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.
