Premium Member Will Montgomery Posted January 17, 2013 Premium Member Share Posted January 17, 2013 Fun. Now you should take your edited 2K file and do a 16mm film out so you can project it at the next birthday party and preserve your edited film for his 70th birthday.

David Cunningham Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 Oh Will, you have no idea how much I wish I could afford film-out. Alas, just not in the budget. I'll just have to closely/tightly preserver the negatives for his future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Will Montgomery Posted January 18, 2013 Premium Member Share Posted January 18, 2013 At VideoFilmSolutions.com you can have one made for $450 including sound. You'd have a negative and one answer print at that cost. Additional prints are super cheap and can be made anywhere that prints 16mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Cunningham Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Wowa! That is WAY cheaper than most any others I've seen. Is the quality on par is the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Will Montgomery Posted January 18, 2013 Premium Member Share Posted January 18, 2013 I'm just looking for the right project to output to film. Probably doing it as cinemascope since I have a projector lens that can handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Matthew W. Phillips Posted January 18, 2013 Premium Member Share Posted January 18, 2013 Does ANYONE here have any samples or know of any samples online for VideoFilmSolutions? I am intriqued by their pricing but I'd like to see their work. .22/ft for Best Light Spirit HD seems too good to be true. I wanted a full scan but .40/ft is a bit above my price point and I'm not equipped to handle uncompressed 2K anyway. Would appreciate if someone has links to 16mm Spirit HD from VideoFilmSolutions.

Ted Langdell Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Hi, Matthew, Hmmm... I'm about 45 minutes north of downtown Sacramento. Used to shoot around the capital and Capitol with a CP16 seen in your avatar picture back when Jerry Brown and I both had hair. Have been occasionally transferring some of my old film from then on my 16/35 MWA Nova VarioHD demo unit. RE: VideoFilm Solutions... as I mentioned in another post just now: Tom Aschenbach is the son of the co-founder of archiving's highly regarded Colorlab, which is located next door to VideoFilm Soutions. Not sure about any business connection, but here's a Washington Post article from Sept. 4, 2012 that tells about Colorlab and mentions Tom as an "in house solution" to a problem mentioned in the article. http://articles.wash...wick-colorlab/2 They are nice folks. Chatted with Russ at the AMIA Conference in Seattle last month. Hope this is helpful. Ted Like This Quote MultiQuote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Will Montgomery Posted January 18, 2013 Premium Member Share Posted January 18, 2013 Tom is now a member of this site; perhaps he'll give us some insight into the FILM OUT process. I do recommend his company for 2K 16mm & 35mm scans (as well as HD scans). He can do flat passes or color them. I'm very impressed with his coloring skills as well. That sounds like he's doing really good in kindergarten. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen samples of Spectra, Cinelicious, Cinelab, and Colorlab. Some great work there. Haven't seen VideoFilmSolutions and really want to give them my business. However, my upcoming project is too important for me to go blind with this one. I'll do a camera test transfer if I have to with them but would still be nice if someone had a sample of their work.

Matt Stevens Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) Tom provided me a 1080p transfer of my 35mm print (blow-up from super16) and I will put together a sample and post it at Vimeo when I have a chance. I was pleased with his work. I hope to have him do a 2k of the zero cut 16mm negatives later this year and from there I would have a 16mm preservation print made.

Premium Member Will Montgomery Posted January 23, 2013 Premium Member Share Posted January 23, 2013 Most of the pro work I can't share at the moment but here's some footage of my kid playing soccer that he processed and transferred. This was collected over several reels and not color corrected into a cohesive piece. Where it looks good it was Tommy, where it doesn't it was because he was asked for a flat pass and I attempted some quick color correction myself with mixed results. The flat footage was also on a cloudy day on really old film. Rule of thumb; when you see blue skies it was where he did the color. That footage was shot on a non-reflex Eyemo.

Premium Member Matthew W. Phillips Posted January 23, 2013 Premium Member Share Posted January 23, 2013 The blue sky footage was awesome. I look forward to sending him a test roll and seeing what I get. Thanks Will! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Will! You can tell he took some time with it to get those skies which is nice. Next time I talk with him I'll ask him to put up a demo reel.

Premium Member Will Montgomery Posted January 23, 2013 Premium Member Share Posted January 23, 2013 I wish I could afford 35mm film and equipment. Amazing! You totally can. That Eyemo cost me $300... I got lucky, but with Nikon glass it's a winner. An Arri 2C can be had for around $1000. Film is cheap with short ends & recans available all over. Good 35mm cameras like a BL3 or 4 or even an Arri III are being found for less than $3000 with everything you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you buy 200ft 35mm on core loads and then re-spool onto your camera spools in a bad or dark room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I edited a quick teaser of my first short film, shot on super16 back in 2001. Tom transferred my 35mm blow-up and as mentioned, it has flaws in the form of some stationary spots. Those will be erased (when I get around to it). I instructed Tom not to use any DNR of any kind. I probably could have allowed him to use it minimally in certain scenes, but eventually I will have him transfer the 16mm negative and want to have the 35mm as it actually is to compare. Keep in mind Youtube turns video to mush. I'll post me PNG's when I get back from vacation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMFRPMHTiZ0 Edited January 24, 2013 by Matt Stevens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Will Montgomery Posted January 24, 2013 Premium Member Share Posted January 24, 2013 How do you work with the Eyemo? I have a ton of factory loaded Fuji 100' loads in my fridge (like 50 rolls) but I also buy short ends and long ends and spool them down to 100' cans/reels at my local lab. For paying gigs I buy directly from Kodak on 100' loads. The only emulsion they stock that way now is Vision 3 500T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Cunningham Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) Hi All, Just starting this thread back up as I have my scan test results from LaserGrahpics. This sample is a 2K scan of Super 8 on their new ScanStation, to be released in April. Stay tuned for locations/opportunities to use the ScanStation for your next Super 8 project!

David Cunningham Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Next stop for this roll of Super 8 is Video Conversion Experts and their MWA NOVA Flashscan2k+. Next stop for the 16mm birthday roll is NoLo and their Arriscan. Stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Cheng Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Hey David, Could you maybe post a small clip of the tests you have from each scanner up on Vimeo? That would be fantastic! Cheers Lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
