Super-8 Cities Feature Length Film Collection

[nathan coombs]

Dear All

 

I am very happy to say that the NTSC version of the Super-8 Cities project is now available.

 

The collection has been getting very good reviews from early purchasers and is now on the way to breaking even on the print. This will help fund the sequel project planned for 2007: Voices of Citizenship.

 

Please check out the website: http://www.workhorse.tv/super8cities.html

 

And watch out for the article in the forthcoming Small Format, a DVD review in Super-8 Today (a few issues time) and an interview for Shooting People, which is in the pipeline.

 

Many thanks

Actually, but Iv'e just been informed by Steve Hyde (who is testing the conversion) that there are a few remaining problems to be ironed out.

 

Apologies for the further delay.

What solution did you decide on for dealing with the NTSC vs Pal conundrum.

Well, straight transfer via FCP seems quiet straightforward.

 

The problem we have is with a troublesome piece of audio, that was suspect in the PAL release and unusable in the NTSC version!

 

One film may need the audio rerecorded.

Hey Nathan, I wonder if segments from your documentary could be selected for this contest from the Economist.
