Isaac Chung Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 In mixed media productions where DI is not an option, is it possible to transfer mini-DV to Super 16mm negative for inclusion in the AB roll? Please let me know what the options are for mixing in a 5% DV and 95% Super 16 production. Thanks, Isaac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted June 12, 2006 Premium Member Share Posted June 12, 2006 It requires you use single-perf 16mm filmstock to fit the extended gate's image onto the film. The old EBR "Image Transform" device went to 16mm b&w separations from NTSC. There might be some kinescope companies that will transfer video to 16mm, maybe Super-16. There are a few companies that advertize video-to-16mm: http://www.blackandwhitefilmfactory.com/vi...%20transfer.htm DV.Film in Texas might do it. http://www.dvfilm.com/ Most places with film recorders like a Celco or Arrilaser would probably recommend you transfer the DV to 35mm and then make an optical printer dupe to Super-16 as needed. Since Super-16 is not intended as an end destination, but is meant either to be transferred to video or blown-up to 35mm, your best bet is to leave the DV footage in video until after the Super-16 project has been blown-up to 35mm (even if done optically), and then splice in the DV-to-35mm material into the 35mm IN.

Michael Collier Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I'm confused, how are you planning on presenting this. You say 95% super-16, so I assume you will be projecting it for a large audience, if you do it on film are you going down to a matted 16 frame or are you blowing up to a 35mm frame? Or are you telecining the whole thing and presenting it on tape? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Chung Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 I mean to say that 95% of the filmed footage is in Super 16mm, and 5% is filmed in DV. Thanks for the responses--I'll contact those post houses tomorrow- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
