Large movie image

After making a large number of untrue simplifying assumptions, if you were to feed a 100 minute film directly into a film scanner, and scan it at 1080 lines per frame, you would end up with a very tall and skinny 1,920 by 155,520,000 pixel image. 1080*24*60*100. About 300 gigapixels total. 0.9 terabyte uncompressed.
