Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

how would you prepared nitrolcellulose water stabl emulsions

Nitrocellulose is only unstable in water IF in a deteriorating state. Emulsions for modern filmstocks would work perfectly well with just about any base.

[edit] Digital vs. Analog

The article states that a digital copy is equal to an analog original with our current progressing technology. Can someone find a source that verifies this?

I think that is what the "Digital Nitrate" project would like to see, a digital format that holds all the richness of a film image as recorded on the old slow siver rich emuslions that were used in the days of Nitrate film - see Digital_Nitrate_Prize - in other words not yet. cmacd 13:32, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

What I can state here is the fact that modern film stocks bring resolution, better: resolving power, of up to 700 line pairs per millimeter in black and white, up to 400 in colour, which is more the double of what the best lenses might yield. The new picture generation is no more introducing any grain. The only important point to be carefully observed is the contact between the to-be-saved material and the raw stock. Then, the image is transferred as a whole, photographic-full-surface. Since there is already thin-base film available, a 1000-foot thin-film duplicate will have the size of some 400 to 500 foot of traditional stock. This is the future. 80.219.135.92 19:07, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

• Motion picture film scanners can now scan film at 4k Display resolution, 4k is above the Display resolution of 35mm film. Some units can now even scan at 6k and 8k if needed (like for Vista Vision - 8 pref). Telecine Guy 05:28, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of restored films

Its silly to list restored films. Every film with a restored scene in the director's cut has been "restored". It would be easier to list ones not restored. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 23:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
