“ask your DIT to run the Post numbers if you’re concerned about Budget and camera format.  Usually they’re the smartest tool in the shed. “

Not my personal experience.

I’ll stick with JB’s experiences.

I was lucky enough to work mainly with RAW or film scans at much higher than needed resolutions but I generally worked on productions where 45 seconds was a long project and ones that had huge budgets. Regularly $1.5M in todays figures.
