Abstract
A new 35 mm motion picture film is described which minimizes the amount of film stock that is used, and which facilitates industry acceptance by assuring at least present image quality. The new motion picture format (12) has film frames (20) of a size (22, 24) that is slightly greater than that (J, K) of the mask aperture (H) of the current Wide Screen Academy Format. However, the film frames are spaced by a distance (26) that is more than two but less than three times a standard perforation spacing distance (E). The film stock can be different from current film stock, with a perforation spacing distance (48, 68) that results in 2 or 3 perforations per frame.
