Digital BW, The Print

I remember reading or hearing many years ago that a thousand rolls was not 
uncommon for a NG project.  Compared to the other costs of getting a crew 
to the top of Mount Everest (or the middle of the rain forest or wherever) 
what's a few hundred more rolls of film?  They probably got a box car 
discount on the stuff anyway.

Cheers,
Kip
