Julianthebruce Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I have 10'000 feet of 16mm, and i am trying to get a ball park figure of what it would cost to transfer all of my takes to digi beta tapes. I belive its about 4 hours worth of shots. Any help to find a general idea of this cost would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the rates of DUART in NYC, to process color negative 16mm film it costs $0.14 per foot. An unsupervised digital overall color corrected transfer to Digibeta costs $0.28 per foot. Therefore it is a total of $0.42 per foot for processing and transfer. For 10,000 feet your total would be $4200. I believe 10,000 feet would give you about 4 and a half hours. By the way I am in a similar circumstance. I needed to find out the same exact information for myself. I also have about 10,000 feet alotted for a film project I'm working on.

Hi, I did a very good attended best light pass with scene by scene correction at DuArt. I would recomend them, we were charged 2 hours for about 50 minutes of running time. They recleaned the film after grading before the transfer. It was the cleanest film I have ever seen! Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
