A 16mm shoot to digital edit

[eddiefruchter]

Need information on shooting Super 16mm, and editing on digital video. What is the standard process?

[Tim Carroll]

Doing that as I write this. In a nutshell:

 

Shoot on 16mm.

 

Process film and have telecine done with timecode and keycode window burns.

 

Take Audio and record into Apple computer.

 

Take telecine footage and record into Apple computer.

 

Using Final Cut Pro and Cinema Tools, sync audio to video and edit the telecine footage.

 

When Project finished, Export Cut List from Cinema Tools.

 

Export Audio track from Final Cut Pro and record to DAT.

 

Give Cut List to Negative Cutter and DAT to Audio House to create Optical Soundtrack.

 

Have print made.

 

 

 

Or you can stay digital and output to DVD or other digital format.

 

Hope that helps,

-Tim

I am planing a direct to digital project so instead of a full negative cut I am planing to using the edit list to cut the negative down to "sellects" and then telcine to HD then do an on line.

what do you mean by 'sellects?'

 

do you mean some kind of rough edit?

 

I'm interested in the exact workflow you described so any info you can offer about your experience is much appreciated.

 

Thank you.

Bob,

 

That's similar to what we are doing. Digital dailies of the whole project, rough cut from the dailies, supervised transfer of the rough cut EDL. Probably won't go HD, just SD 16:9 anamorphic.
