I am shooting a 16mm short coming up soon. I will be staying in video so going to print is not an issue. I will be doing some greenscreen compositing and have some questions as the shoot is approaching.
1. Will shooting super 16 be a necessity? I have the option if it is.
2. When transferring the film in telecine, is the keying going to be considerably more difficult if I transfer on a Rank as opposed to a Spirit? I am aware of the resolution differences between the two machines, but will it make a huge difference when I am keying on the computer?
3. I have heard there is a difference in the way and Rank and a Spirit use registration to pull the film through the gate across the scanner. Which would be more recommended to help prevent film jumping in the gate of the telecine? The effect being, if there is more jumping in the gate, the composite shots may not match up correctly.
I realize 16mm is not the preferred medium to do composite shots, but that is all my budget will allow. Does anyone have experience with this or can they make any recommendations as to which telecine to use?
Thanks
