DEAR ALL,
EVERYTHING I SEE AND HEAR ABOUT THE SPIRIT DATACINE MAKES ME FEEL WE MADE THE RIGHT DECISION TO BUY A TELECINE, NOT A FILM CLEANER.
REGARDS,

Hey Simon,
I think the key word here is *minimizes*. The questions to ask might be
what side of the film was the dirt on? Base or emulsion? Was it in-camera
garbage? As a Spirit power user, I can tell you that the parabolic scan
results are really quite phenomenal. In fact I had an opportunity to
perform a job on a C Reality today and I was amazed at the amount of
surface dirt and debris that was visible. Perhaps the producers of
Pleasantville were removing filmic artifacts that were pre-develop in
nature. Do you remember if the source footage was B&W??? Thats a whole
'nother discussion.
Best,
Bob
