Perfs

An addenum to my last post.

The 35mm numbers were based on shooting 4 perf. If I am finishing HD, it makes sense to shoot 3 perf instead.

"Perfs" are the number of holes on the side of film per image. 4 perfs makes for a 4:3 image, 3 perfs makes for a 16:9 image.

It literally aves 25% on stock and processing to shoot 3 perf with nothing lost on my end.


Even if you are shooting totally 35mm, finishing on HD makes a lot of sense and therefore using 3-perf is an option.
