Right now, for example, in sound restoration we're all talking about 24-track. But I think that~not tiying to sound too much like a futurist-using compact disc for storage of tracks may be not that far away. But in terms of 35mm film, it's down the road. But I think in terms of storage of materials, there will be new technologies out there that are smaller and are easy to store, especially in the area of sound.
And in film, no one has found a medium yet to represent the film image. A lot of people are talking about it.
MR. MAYER: I would like to reemphasize that in the following sentence. That is, we're all-the industry and the world-looking for technological improvement, in all areas of making motion pictures, and still photography, and iu that sort of thing, for many, many years.
In every case, what has happened is film has been improved. And the rest of it, electronic and other technologies, have not kept up. And every time we've looked for an improvement in photography and all the other things that you are very familiar with, it ahvays seems that film is the medium that will get us the best image, and fi-om there we should go to preservation techniques of a technological nature that include tap>e and whatever.
I do not believe that film will become obsolete. And as far as I can tell-and as I remember you're a photographer-film as the medium to capture the image is likely to continue to be the best method to do so.
MR. SLUSSER: I have to agree totally with Roger. There is a lot of work being done on digitized scanning of film; however, we all have to remember film has been here for a hundred years; it's got a track record. We're relatively certain it will make it a few more years. We can wait a hundred years to see if some of the new technology works.
MR. MAY: Let's also consider the playback technology. Not too many years ago two-inch tape was the ultimate for television. Now you're down to Sony Beta Cam that does just as well as the two-inch tape. It's aU that magic in that invisible magnetic image on the tape. Whereas film is still a physical medium that with basic light, lens, etc., can be reproduced. And 50 years fi-om now, are we going to have the playback medium to reproduce the item that is made on videotape today?
MR. WATTERS: In terms of film as a storage medium there really is nothing out there that's been out there long enough to know. I mean, I heard compact discs might start skipping after a year or two years. And if you have a master on there, I don't know, could you lose it?
So in terms of a storage medium of film, it's been around. It's a known commodity. It's relatively inexpensive, okay, if you're talking about a release print. If
