I'll clarify a bit now. I want to learn to shoot s16 to blow up eventually to 35mm. At some point I'd like to film a feature.
But I know nothing about film, Super 8 looks like a good way to start.
I wanted widescreen, so I can frame widescreen shots. I wanted to sync sound to get practice doing it with larger formats.
And, I didn't really expect to blow it up to 35mm, but I thought I would ask.
You can edit film by hand by splicing, but I think I read somewhere some company will dump the Super 8 to a disk/harddrive so it can be edited digitally. (Aren't most films now edited digitally, even big Hollywood films on an Avid system?)
I'm looking for a cheap format to practice, learn and make mistakes, without them being too costly.
What is a good editing system for a beginner to edit with? Any suggestions? So I guess I'm looking for a camera I can convert to widescreen (where to I get widescreen film, can you use regular Super 8 film?), where do I go to convert to widescreen (cause that I can't do), what camera is a good candidate to convert to widescreen. and could the camera to sync sound (as nice to have to practice).
And does this guy in Toronto have a store?
