Once a film is shot and cut, it has to be copied, sent to theaters and put on the screen--steps that are expensive and risky. Print quality, for example, can vary drastically from frame to frame and print to print. The quality of projection may also vary. "There are still theaters that run the projector lamp at less than proper brightness," says Mann. (A digital projector is much more accurate.) Finally, film degenerates, the way a vinyl record does under a stylus or a videocassette does with frequent use. "With film you have degradation problems," Smith says, "where...
Directors say they frame a shot with the big--not the small--screen in mind. "I only paint on the one size sheet of paper," Spielberg says. "I make my movies for a movie theater, and I like to imagine how big that screen is.

By the time the Crimson took a 24-23 lead—its first of the game—on a McKiernan kill, the opening frame seemed firmly in its grasp. Harvard’s energy certainly helped, but so did a substantial size advantage. In particular, the 6’9 Weissbourd and 6’7 Andy Nelson had a lot of success for the Crimson.
