Trent, 3/2 pulldown for video is the means by which film–shot at 24 fps–is transferred to video–which is 30 fps. I think it has to do with the adjustment the shutter (or whatever) needs to make to stretch 24 fps into 30. We created the cell animation at 24 fps, had it electronically inked and painted, and then the frames were transferred to Exabyte as Abekas files. When we took the frames from the Exabyte, the fields ended up being reversed. Because of the (frame/time) stretching effect of the 3/2 pulldown, we were getting strange looking jitters and such. Anyway, we've discovered that the fields were reversed and are working on getting them straightened out into the PAR. As for Exabyte, it seems the fastest, easiest way to handle all the frames that'll make up a ten minute cel animation. I couldn't imagine doing it another way. Thanks for the response. Later.
