how to output video with prores quality, no loss

[voodoo]

Hy guys, I' shooting a short film with a JCV gy hd200 and a AJA IOHD.
It goes straight from the component to the IOHD and then to a external drive on a macbook pro. No HDV, only Prores HQ. My question is, when I'm done editing my short film, what would be the best way to deliver it without loosing quality ? Lets say I wanna send to film festivals and stuff. What kind of output will not take away quality ? And what about TV? I have to send my short film to a tv station as well, what should I do ? And to blow up to 35mm, just take my hd to the bureau ?

To make a 35mm print you'd want to make an uncompressed QuickTime or an image sequence- depending on what the lab could handle. For festivals it's usually a DVD screener and a digibeta or beta SP tape for the actual exhibition. I know of no festivals that will take an uncompressed or even ProRes quicktime. They care more about story than about compression.

Lets say I wanna send to film festivals and stuff.

Ask the festivals what format they want and give them that.

And what about TV? I have to send my short film to a tv station as well, what should I do ?

Ask the TV station or network what format they want and give them that.

And to blow up to 35mm, just take my hd to the bureau ?

Ask the lab what format they want and give them that.

As you can see, the key isn't guessing what people want it's asking them specifically what they want.:beer:
