My name is Randall K. Rubin and I am one of the filmmakers who wrote/directed and produced the film JIMMY AND JUDY starring Edward Furlong, William Sadler and Rachael Bella which is a DVX100A film currently in limited release in select cities on 35mm. As of this posting we are in theaters in Cincinnati and will be releasing the film in the Detroit area and Louisville, KY on Sep. 29. I'm posting this thread, partly to raise awareness for the film (pardon the shameless self promotion) but also to make myself available to other DVX filmmakers who have questions about how we did what we did. The film looks fantastic even blown up on a 40 foot screen. The story follows the video diary of JIMMY (Ed Furlong) who's obsessed with his camcorder and a girl named JUDY. Together, they fall in love, get into trouble and videotape everything they do. With the exception of a few "nite shot" set pieces, the movie was shot entirely with a DVX 100A, and even those shots were eventually processed throught he lens of the DVX 100A to create a true 24 frame version for recording to 35mm. The camera was set to 24PAdvanced mode. The tape was digitized using a Sony DSR-11
into Final Cut Pro HD using the Advanced Pulldown setting. After we cut the film in a 23.98 16:9 timeline, we output the film to DVCAM in 29.97 and upresed it to D5 using a Teranex, then did 2K color correction at Fotokem in Burbank where they recorded the image to Kodak 35mm film. It really looks amazing. It's not the same as having shot on 35mm, but definitely better than 16mm. If you have any quesitons or thoughts, I welcome e-mails and will respond as I am able. If you want to see the fiilm itself and you're in the Detroit, Cincinnati or Louisville areas, we're in theaters as per above. You can also look at the trailer on our site at www.jimmyandjudymovie.com or on our myspace page at www.myspace.com/jimmyandjudy
