Full aperture is the plan. We may see more than we bargained for though. If Stanley is in the edge of a shot glaring at Shelly Duvall, we’ll see it. 😉

Another thing I would ask you guys and those who are scanning the print - After you are done making the wet-gate scan and archiving it digitally, project the print with the proper 35mm film projection bulbs if possible (type of bulbs used in theatres) and take photos of the print in running condition, ideally on a Canon DSLR which preserves the proper colours (unlike Nikon which has a slight cool tint). These photos will help you in restoring the colours of the print to its ideal projected look, i.e, colour, brightness, contrast, et all.

EDIT: I am sorry I forgot it’s a faded print. Then there is no way to know how an actual print would have looked. But I think the final image should be something that is slightly warmer than the Blu ray. That is just a guess.

Its an ad for a 35mm screening of The Shining. The fact that it has a different AR and warmer colours than the Bluray suggests me that this is a sample of the actual print they had shown. But it can be from the widescreen DVD as well, I do not know.
