Joe Taylor Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 In the early 2000's I was the biggest film snob almost to the point of being obnoxious. I bought an Arri 2C and set out to make my 35mm epic: Dead Lonesome Dead Lonesome My dream was to shoot this film and have film prints struck from the original negs ala 'roadshow releases.' That dream never happened and I will be damned if it ever does. Now I have a new dream. To find a good hearted lab who will allow me a generous rate to have my 35mm epic scanned at 2K and if their hearts are really in the right place 4K. Does anybody know where I might find this lab?

Marcus Joseph Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 You shoot some really good timelapses, would love to see how it looks scanned high res. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Stevens Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Outstanding. Truly. Epic. I love it! Wow. I'd absolutely love to have this at 1080p on Blu-Ray just to show off. Try www.scanyourfilm.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevith Mitchell Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Try Colorlab or Postworks in NYC. The main thing you do is negotiate a price you can afford. They all want your business so use that as your bargaining chip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Taylor Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 To Marcus and Matt, thank you. I appreciate your kind words. And also a thank you to Kevith. I have not yet looked into Postworks and will certainly look them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevith Mitchell Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 No problem. I'm in the same position as you except I have a 16mm feature that needs scanning. Talk about making deals. LOL. My plan is to go to with a traditional negative cutter for the conform so I least come out with conformed negative. Then get that negative scanned. I'm still researching this to if I actually save $$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Rose Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I'm so fed up with the technological arms race going right now with cameras, as well as the crappy 5D aesthetic, and just ever so want to shoot my next doc in 16mm black and white as a big fat eff you to tech obsessed who are ruining the cinema craft. But as I start adding up the costs of stock, process and telecine...suddenly the 5D looks appealing. Son of a bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Vincent Sweeney Posted January 28, 2012 Premium Member Share Posted January 28, 2012 My most recent budgeting for a feature showed, at the time, that Alphacine had the best deal. Postworks does make deals but they are involved in a lot of medium/higher budget stuff. I dont know what Cinelabs is up to with HD these days but try calling them too. Would love to see your work on BluRay or HD streaming Joe! Brian, the 5D has never been appealing to anyone who was being really honest with themselves, and I bet you would regret using it (or any slr). There are so many better options.

If you're looking for deeper depth of field, the EX3 is also good. Edited January 28, 2012 by Ravi Kiran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Orwell Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) Lonely Moan is excellent. I'm pleased you upped it to Creative Cow because Vimeo is quite unreliable I find and in this instance wouldn't play anything from you. Would you mind if I asked what music you're using over it?
