Richardson Leao Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Dear all, I have around 400m of neg (16mm) that needs to be transferred and I recently moved to stockholm. I check the prices to telecine it here and they border the absurd (when compared for example with australia). Anyway, I was wondering if somebody could suggest me a telecine house that does the job without forcing me to prostitute myself. Many thanks! PS: I presume I would have to go for the UK or Germany as they are bigger centres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Kukla Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 400 meters or 400 minutes? I would call the UK labs, since it seems that they're more willing to do rates by the foot instead of by telecine time. Some of them are in-house; others sourced out. Exclusive TK houses are great for doing supervised work like commercials and promos, but not very practical for budget-minded filmmakers, I've found.

I'm guessing it must be minutes as I don't think Australia is metric? 400 metres, would that be about 800foot? Theres an old Rank at the BBC in London which is about £180 per hour Theres actually an old Bosch FDL-60 still alive in Norway which is probably the cheap telecine option in scandinavia. http://www.smalfilm.no/en Very cheap prices if I remember right. Depends how low you want to go. Scandinavia seems to have largely gone completely digital. You could of course ship your film out to the states for Telecine. love Freya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Bowerbank Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 (edited) I'm just throwing in my 2 cents here, but I think when looking for a telecine house, you shouldn't include the word "cheap". If you want a cheap telecine, you'll get a cheap image. "Inexpensive" or "Reasonably Priced" would be the best choice of words ;) Edited September 20, 2007 by Jonathan Bowerbank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregor Grieshaber Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 (edited) I have around 400m of neg (16mm) that would be around 34 minutes, if you didn´t know already. but as far as i know the houses in germany charge in meters. these are the four labs in berlin: geyer-werke +49 3068010 schwarz film +49 3088708500 media city lab +49 306289280 kopierwerk babelsberg +49 3317212402 and three postproduction houses: das werk +49 3028527950 vcc +49 302020960 condor +49 3020451980 they are all able to scan your negative or whatever, just give them a call. you can always try to negotiate. i never dealt with them in that way but i´m pretty sure not everyone is paying the list price. but there is also a lot of filming going on here right now so i´m not sure if they will go down with the price... good luck -------------------- gregor grieshaber 2nd assistant camera berlin, germany Edited September 25, 2007 by Gregor Grieshaber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
