  1. Again, as David stated, it depends on your level of experience and such. If you really want to shoot film, may I suggest getting a super 8 camera on ebay and experimenting with that. You can buy super 8 film directly from Kodak or places such as Spectra Film&Video, they will also develop your film and can transfer it to video. You can also get a K3 on ebay which is a 16mm camera for about $200 or less. So there are some options for you, it just depends on your budget and your level of experience.

  2. My wife and I saw this at the Art Institute in Chicago. I can't help always automatically associating this painting with Super 8 and vice versa. That, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

     

    Could be the graininess in the picture, the colors as well as maybe how it's a painting of people by a lakeside park.

  3. You lost me:

     

    If you have dozens of 3X3 filters, why do you need a matte box?

     

    In other words, you're talking about square Tiffen filters, right? Like the Cokin system? (Didn't even know and/or remember that Tiffen made the square filters.)

     

    Do you now have a way to mount them to your lenses via a holder, and if so, what are your plans for the matte box then?

     

    The matte box will hold the filters in place in front of the lens and Tiffen does make large format filters such as 3x3, 4x4, etc...

  4. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure The Dark Knight didn't use a DI. It did contain digital effects shots which were filmed out at 5.6k and 8k.

     

    As to the topic at hand, I don't have a problem with the DI process. Used well it's good, used badly then it's bad - seems rather obvious.

     

    I believe it went through DI for the IMAX prints.

  5. Bernie will do a great job. I highly recommend his laserbrighten process on the K3 as well.

     

    You can also buy a re-centered mount for the K3 on eBay for about $125. I'd suggest picking that up if you want the lens re-centered. It would cost more to have someone else make it.

     

    I got an email from Bernie and he said that it would cost me a lot to convert the K3 to Super 16 and is not something that he recommends doing.

  6. I contacted Duall in NY and they said that they would modify my K3 to super 16 for $450 however they will not recenter the lens. Is there any company in the US that will do the re-centering as well as a mod to super 16?
