Pictures in film

[Zim]

I plan on using some old pictures for my film. What works best for some of you? Just take a hi rez image into the editing program or take video of the picture?

"Hi-rez in" has always worked for me, but I suppose you could do something with a copy-stand or tripod...

Are they your pix, or will you be getting a photo release?

Back in the day I used to do the panning/zoom thing on a photo on a lit board, but nowadays I'd get a hi-res scan and do it all in post.

Yeah, make sure you have a release!

 

[Zim]

Yes I'll get a release. The Hi-rez seems like it would save time too.

Depends on the project, really. If you've got the time, why not both?

I'd just scan em, then you can always play around with zoom, pan and twist afterwards.
