Guest kev5000 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Hi all I'm in the middle of finishing a 16mm feature. What I have to do now is add effects for some scenes to lengthen the movie. Anyway, I want to do my effects on film. Superimpositions mainly. No computer effects, I've been hearing horror stories. I've been researching a lot on home-made super 8 optical printers. One guy goes into detail on how to make one. Great. Something like this is just what I need but in 16MM. Has one done something like this before? I know your not going to get award winning effects and thats not what I want. Its more economics. It would be great to hear ssuggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Buick Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I think 16mm Optical Printers already exist, I'm sure you can rent one of them cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Downes Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Moviestuff at http://www.moviestuff.tv makes an optical printing solution for 16mm. All you'd need to do is to take one of their workprinters and point a 16mm camera at the condensor lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is more of what KJ is looking for: http://www.jkcamera.com/optical_printer.htm It's a bit of an investment in money and time for the learning curve.
