I am making a 35mm dia for projection on big screen.
Anyone know exactly the meassure on the visible area?
Anything else I must be ware of?

depends. on what are you going to show it and what are you going to use to project it?

that's not gonna work. well, at least if you don't want to have vertical bars. cinema is 16:9 as long as you keep to that proportion you will be allright. the safe zone is a little bit tricky. gimme a sec to look it up.

thanks rabski. they told me to deliver 35mm dia. this is going to be in a advertising slide-show before every film, and I guess this format is what they have taken as standard.
Anyone know the format on a dia? or have links to info?

the action safe zone is generally considered the center of the image to within 5% of each edge. for title safe it's generally the center of the image to within 10% of each edge.
action safe and title safe do depend on the projector though.
but if you need to be 100% sure talk to the people who either run the theater and/or projector. they should know everything. just ask them what the ratio, the action safe and title safe is.

oooh... ok. so basically they are not going to use the whole screen for projection. now i know what you're talking about. those ad slides at the beginning. well 35mm is either 82x50 or 84x62 (mm) but that is top of mind, not really sure there. call a photoshop for that. anyways, you could use that image make sure that you keep the height as your guide (since it's far more higher than wide) and give it a black background (check that with those guys too (at the theater))

thanks raba, for detailed info. I've been checking around and it came to my ear that there are NO printers in Norway that do this! (Print slides from digital originals).
I was told they use to print the ad out on paper and take a picture of it. hehe. so simple and yet so impossible to imagine. The quality is much better also. hmm.

what? no way! no company who can make slides from digital data? damn! hey, i smell a niche here...

I guess the diaprinter is somewhat expensive (for cinema qualities), and in a country of 4mill the market is limited...
