Hi all,
I've just found this site and in need of advice, I hope I'm posting in the right part of the site! :-)
We are a low budget (under $10,000 per film) film company and have had two of our films distributed for a year or so. We've just been asked to provide certain items for two potential sales. We are literally a bunch of film students operating on limited funds, hence needing the advice! :-)
We have been asked for PAL and NTSC Digibeta masters for each of our films, they also need to have a 6 track M & E soundtrack. The two films are 85-95 mins long, one shot on DV and one on HDV. Both are fully edited (Final Cut Pro, Apple Macs) and the final films output in their original formats to external hard drives. We have made DVD screeners etc but these are obviously way to low quality for masters.
My question is this...
How can we make or get these masters without killing ourselves financially? We have the computing power here but no tape facilities or any experience of DigiBeta.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
