[Noisebridge-discuss] Projection format

[Sean Cusack]

35mm is almost certainly the most expensive since you'll probably have to
buy a full on 400' roll (~$300 from B&H right now).

Digibeta and Betacam are pretty commonly used in TV production stuff (from
my experience as being a tech director on 1 closed circuit TV station), so
you may get lucky and one of the independent TV stations in the city may
have the equipment to do this for you on the cheap. Additionally, the
physical media should be cheaper than the other options.

Digibeta raw media runs from $15 - $60 depending on runtime (cheapest =
shortest = 12min.)
Betacam-SP raw media runs from $15 - $35 depending on runtime (cheapest =
shortest = 15min.)

The only tricky part will be the PAL thing. If a local studio has the beta
equipment, they may only have it in NTSC. But, it won't hurt to ask (and a
lot of the fancy pro stuff has a little lever you can switch to do either
scan mode anyways).
