    Have you received quotes from labs and kodak or Orwo? For approximately 32000 feet of film what were your numbers? You could probably get a very good deal from Orwo. BW S16 to ProRes4444 is quite affordable.

    La La Land was beautiful. I watch a SAG screener at home. SD DVD that my blu ray player uprezzes to 1080p. Looked gorgeous.

    On Blu-Ray.com in there UHD review section, they tell you if a title went through a uprez to UHD or if it was 4k + native.

    I have worked on feature films that were shot on 35 millimeter yet IMDb lists it as HD. I have often seen examples of IMDb being incorrect.

    I am assuming that your aspect ratio is 2.39 or there abouts??? If so, why blow up to two perf 35mm? To do anything with that negative, you will have to go through another scan or optical blow up for presentation, decreasing the quality further. If your intent is to have a 35mm print, then you should enlarge S16 to 4 perf 35mm for scope. Digital route would probably be best but, What are the specifics of you project? It seems as if you are going down the wrong path.

    if you are going to spend any money on the camera, get a super 16 modification instead. It will increase the resale value if nothing else. The main reason is because Super 16 is a universally recognized format, ultra 16 is not. I know getting lenses will be cheaper with ultra 16, but not really that much more.

    And this is Kodak 7222

    I have such a system. Mac Pro 5.1 12 core 2.93(original not flashed). 24 gig of ram. 1TB SSD boot, 4TB RAID 0 internal. Right now I am running the stock 512mb Apple vid card and a NVidia GTX670 4gig. Not ideal, but it is what I could afford. It will run about 8fps of 6k raw. a bit faster for 4k dpx and 24fps for 2kdpx. It will encode 2kdpx to any flavor of ProRes at about 49fps. For a mac user, it is the most bang for the buck. I wonder if Apple will ever bring back any kind of tower? Doubt it.

    I just watch the Tholian Web last night and was wondering if the FX shots of the Tholians themselves, the only time they spoke to the Enterprise crew, were a redo along with all the other fantastic CGI? The colors were very vivid (firey red face). The integration of the new CGI into the original material was great! They really did a wonderful job updating TOS. The use of the wide angle lenses in this episode was really neat to see.

    I plan on shooting both brands of film. Don't stop Ferania. Keep going. We will buy the film.

    Good result is what I meant to say. Not good luck. Don't leave things to chance of course.

    I wouldn't count on them lowering the contrast that much. What people loved about it the most was how it looked as it was. Exposure isn't that much of a bitch. I've shot plenty of Super 8 with it and always had good luck with exposure.

    I get that it is experimental. Good effort. I do agree with Simon and Perry. Why should the audience care about the girl or what happens to her? That is not so clear. Is it a love/ghost story? If so, if it were my film, I would do away with some of the music and find different sounds and or foley to help tell the story. I really like that there is no dialogue. I love the visuals. The super 8 aesthetic suits this project very well. I am jealous of the locations you shot at. Do you have that much snow already this season?

    I also think that there is some truth to film being more "artistic". I also think that particular perception is unfair to digital. David is spot on. However, Kodak's film worthy campaign is also spot on. Whenever I have overheard of been part of a discussions on set over format, when it is film, people say, "now we are making a real movie". Correct or not, fair or not, film has much more gravitas, clout and cache than any other format and that is not counting the technical aspects.

    I would put it in the normal location. The XTR I would do this to is going into Abelcine for a full once over soon, so...... I will ask them what their opinion is about my idea.

    why does anyone worry about grain? I love it. Just watched Sydney Lumet on PBS, he certainly didn't worry about it and did alright in his career.
  18. Chris Burke
    You really should work with someone who is your artistic ally. All the BS and attitude against film is counter productive. Find a new partner shoot film. You should also know that RED cameras can be a nightmare on set and in post. S16mm scanned to prores is a very easy workflow and can be cheap,

    Boston camera and rule merged together in 2009, if memory serves me. They merged because there was a lot of cross over intheir respective businesses. Not because one was going out of business. Where do you get your info Tyler?

    Photo Rec perhaps. Robyn is correct. Either sony or equivalent.
  22. Chris Burke
    I think it us a good start. Sure there's room for improvement. I've often thought about making a Kodak Super 8 fan film. Show them how it's done.
  23. Chris Burke
    Both the 200t and 500t have immense exposure latitude. Especially overexposure. Shoot 200t outdoor 500t indoor on full auto. No need to worry.
  24. Chris Burke
    Limited in scope how? Your observation, but how?

    What are peoples thoughts on the series so far? With the final episode tonight, how do people feel since we started this thread? My expectations were exceeded. Lots of stuff going on with this show on many levels. It smacks of several other sci-fi series including a little of the Prisoner. (the control room)
