J Costantini Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Hi. I've just shot a short on 24P ag-dvx100 (not the dvx100A) using cine-like gamma and matrix. The color material is beautiful but now we wish to do two things with it: 1) finish the movie in black and white. 2) have it transfered to 16mm. yes, we did think about it before and shot creating more contrast areas than usual color photography. I may have the possibility of going thru a davinci 2k finishing station. By now it's still being edited on fcp3. My questions are: How should I treat the images before the transfer? increase contrast, decrease it, change gamma values? what stock would you choose to transfer and/or print it? Why? Do you know any places in the US that offer cheap 16mm transfers? Thanks a lot, everybody. Feel free to suggest anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landon D. Parks Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Why are you transfering to 16mm film? Transfering to 35mm is not that much. (HD - 35mm $50,000.00 @ www.dvfilm.com)... I dont know about 16mm. If you transfer to 16mm for the purpose of a 35mm blow up, then Youll get a LOT of added grain, and also spend more than you would to just transfer it to 35mm. If not however, I cant help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
