So you haven't seen the answer print?
Notwithstanding your holding your colleagues in high esteem, the grounds for which no one would think to impeach...are there no cases where professionals have differed in the art of faithfully transferring film to video? Is vision infallible? And should trust in craft result in deference that trumps our own eyes?
You know, I imagine FFC would trust his cinematographer to get the shot, but he's still going to look at the footage at the end of the day.
Pun intended: The Eyes have this one, and--speaking for myself--I'd be curious to screen the answer print opposite this latest transfer to see whether it squares...even if it's just to confirm it's faithful.
The opportunity to see for one's self: Bigger than trust, larger than ego. Not one I'd pass up.
