A film recorder...it's to transfer images... It's for taking 1 that are done in computers... and 2 them on to... motion picture 3 . So they can use 4 film either in a theatre or... or they can store it in a vault 5 archiving. So, there's two kinds of film 6 . There's a laser film recorder. A laser film recorder uses laser beams, and it 7 has... it has parts in it that move the laser beam on the film 8 that it draws the picture on the film 9 laser beams. It's not more 10 than the other kind. It's just different.

The other way is... the 11 we've got, a CRT film recorder and that's... that's cathode ray tube... and it's like a 12 tube inside the film recorder. And this one is a high... very high resolution... CRT... a very high resolution picture tube in it, so that it can display a 13 high resolution picture, and it displays the picture 14 red, green and blue filters, so you get your colours on the... on the... film.

So, to use the film recorder, the first 15 you need to do is... load a roll of film 16 the film magazine. You do that in a lightproof tent, so you don't... you don't expose the film to any 17 . So, you load the film into the 18 , and then what you do is you load the magazine onto the 19 that's attached to the film recorder.

So, once you've done that, you can thread the film through the film 20 . And the film gate is the part of it that 21 the light through onto the film, either from the laser beams 22 from the CRT. In our case, it's the CRT. And then the film goes through the 23 ... that pull... it's the little sprockets that pull the film... through... with the little holes that are on film. A sprocket is just a little pin on a wheel that... fits into the sprocket holes on 35 mm film. So that pulls the film through, so you go, 24 it through one frame at a time. So, you thread it through the sprockets, and then you 25 it into the take-up reel. Then you 26 up the camera, and close up the magazine. And then you... take your computer 27 that were made on computers. They'll be on a 28 drive. You plug the hard drive into the computer that's attached to the film recorder, and the computer 29 feed the images to the film recorder one at a time. So, the 30 feeds an image to the film recorder, the film recorder opens the film gate, images the picture onto the film, one at a time, and then the sprockets move to the next frame and the computer feeds the next image into it, and then the sprocket holes move it 31 frame and the computer feeds another image to it.

For most film recorders, it takes about 4 to 5 32 to do a frame, and the reason it takes that long is because they're very high resolution. We use a very slow speed film, which means it takes a lot of light to expose it, and the reason we use a 33 speed film is because it has a very fine grain 34 in it.

So, once the whole roll of film is 35 , and you can have up to 15,000 frames on a roll of film, then we unload the film magazine, open the camera, uh, unload the camera, take the film magazine 36 the film recorder. Then we'll put it back in the lightproof tent, move it into a sealed film can so that 37 light gets into it, and then we ship that to the processing 38 . Our processing lab is in Edmonton, and they have a motion picture film-processing 39 . And then, once the film's developed, it's 40 to make prints... or... make video copies... whatever they want to do 41 it.
