Re:question: how big is a movie? (Score 1)

The size of a 2K Full-Aperture frame is 12450k. So a 100 minute movie is approximately 1.8 terabytes. 2K (2048x1556) 10-bit Cineon/DPX frames are still pretty much the standard for Digital Intermediate right now, although the technology for 4K is beginning to creep in for those who can afford it. Spiderman 3 did a 4K DI, even though the visual effects were all done at 2K and uprezzed. For a 4K master, multiply by 4 = 7.2 TB.
