Fujifilm's ETERNA-RDS 35mm Type 4791 (PET) has been named in the final list for an Academy Award.
The Scientific and Technical Awards committee will meet in early December to vote on recommendations to the Academy's Board of Governors, which will make the final awards decisions.
The Recording Digital Separation ETERNA-RDS 35mm Type 4791 (PET) is a black and white film intended for making archival black and white separations from colour digital masters.
This film is designed for a digital separation workflow using a film recorder. ETERNA-RDS offers a significant improvement over conventional non-specific separation film stock, producing finer detail, accurate gradation linearity, improved granularity and sharpness with reduced flare.
The 2011 Scientific and Technical Awards will be presented at the Beverly Wilshire in Beverly Hills on Saturday, February 11, 2012.
