super 16mm to 35mm blow-up

[Jeremy Braben]

I had been asked to shoot a documentary in Super 16. No problem there as I have shot many film documentaries and 2nd unit on a number of features. But I have now just been told that the project has become a feature film for theatrical release. I would have prefered to originate on 35mm, but for budget considerations they want me to continue to shoot in Super 16 and blow up to 35mm for release.

Most of the film is exterior but half of it is night exterior which we won't be able to light extensively.

This is new to me so any advise and comments would be extremely welcome.

Thanks,

Jeremy
