Hi Richard the lite vanes are powered by the tape reader The first thing needed to be know is witch tape reader you have? The first of the series known as The slow speed reader which was also the smallest in size, after that there was the High Speed reader which was much larger, the next version was able to do do the Lite vane changes and fcc reading (frame count cueing) from a single box through the years they were modified and different versions came out. the best thing to do is send a picture of the tape reader if you do I can offer some other advice.

Hi Charles we can print to 16 or super 16 from a digital file via our Laser graphics Producer III Recorder

The Printing_Nikkors are amazingly sharp much better than the Kodak Ekator's

I have heard that Deluxe will be closing the UK,Spain and Madrid Labs in the next 90 days.

Hi David We have a Lasergraphics "Director" here at our facility Metropolis Post in NYC.We would be happy to run some scanning tests for you. Jack Rizzo | President | Metropolis Post 212 563 9388 201.681.7996 www.metpostny.com

I also saw this demo film and was not at all impressed, the higher frame rate looked better, but the look was much to live, it didn't look like a movie

Double Perf 16mm stock was common back in the 70's,through the mid 90's when 16mm work prints were required and editing was done on flat bed (kem,steenbeck,and movieola) machines

Pretty sad joke by Billy Crystal at last nights Oscars when he said 'Welcome to the Chapter 11 Theater', then later on in the show he made another comment 'Back when they actually made movies on film'

Hi Bill Can you can you give us this gentleman's contact info?

I remember Kodak having 3 different b/w stocks available both in negative and reversal, Plus X, Tri X and what was the 3rd? also the ASA of each would be appreciated. Thanks

Have any of you ever seen or heard of this format in 16mm? My link

Hi Does anyone know if there is a lab capable of processing 16mm in a C41 bath?, We have a client with 20 rolls of Kodak Infrared Film. He had some snip test clips processed in a dip and dunk C41 set up and the image came out fine, when you process the film in a ECN 2 bath the base comes out with a cyan tint which effects the overall image. This client has a lot of experience in shooting infrared stills and now would like to try it in 16mm. any thought would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone out here know the difference from C41 Bath and ECN2 Bath.. Can film taht si supposed to go in C41 be processed in ECN2?

& some MGM B/W C'Scope films from '57/58 were in Super35 & blown up with a Panavision printer lens. 'Jailhouse Rock' was the first of these. I thought I read some were that the first movie to be shot in Super 35mm then blown up to Anamorphic was 'Silverado'

Back in the late 60s and through the 1970's News Cameramen used 16mm cameras that recorded 16mm picture and magnetic sound at the same time, they mostly shot Kodak VNF Film. Does anyone know what Brand were these camera's are there any out there for rent?

Hi Matt At my company Metropolis Post we can transfer the A,B C roll to HD edit them together and you can do a supervised color grading session.This would be done on a pin registered scanner.and will give you the best quality.If you like we can also do it off your 35mm print.(it would be less expensive.) Do you remember were you did the Direct Blow Up Print, it could of very well been my old company Metropolis Film Lab, from the mid 1990's through 2008 my main business was doing direct optical blow ups right from 16 or super 16mm a/b rolls.As far as a blow up was concerned this work flow yielded the highest blow up possible. You can call us at 212 563 9388.

Hi All Saw this film last night a friend of mine is insisting to me it was shot in HD can anyone confirm if it was Film Or Digitally Shot? Thank You

Does anyone know the name of the Facility In Calif that still photoguards 35mm Release Prints. Thanks

Freddy will be Back! Gentleman I spoke to A-1 Freddy this week and he told me that he will be working at Deluxe Labs new state of the art facility in NYC. The Lab should be ready to process film in 30 days or so and the Post production facility should be full uo in 60 days or so.

Hi JD We do this at Metropolis Film Lab all the time, feel free to give a call 212 563 9388. Best John Rizzo
