This poster was produced for the 2001 production of Smetana's Bartered Bride. At 5.5 feet high the size presented a challenge. We wanted to use photogaphy from a past production but the shots were taken on 35mm film. Fortunately, the combination of careful photographic technique, new high-speed emulsions from Fuji and good low-dispersion glass from Nikon make it possible to produce prints this large. We used a drum scanner to squeeze as much information as possible from the negative. After some photoshop work to clean and sharpen the scan it was imported into Quark Xpress for layout and printed on a large format epson printer.
