i don't know exactly what scanner was used. the short was filmed for an invite-only contest so the hosts of the contest set up and paid for all the telecine jobs. the footage came back at 1080p prores422 and with a flat pass scan. i did all of the grading myself in apple's color.

thank you all for the words of advice, i will keep them all in mind. i do tend towards the wide shots; everything seems shot so close to me these days. but i will keep it in mind for additional coverage. thanks again.

good advice. greatly appreciated!

i used a pan cinor 17mm-85mm f2 and a switar 10mm f1.6 i can't notice the vignetting at 2:27>2:33 or 2:27>3:04 and i think that the err at 3:42 was simply a lens flare. it seems the places where it is clearly visible what when the pan cinor was fully zoomed out at 17mm. would this make sense? i believe the logging shots were indeed the first shots on a roll, and it was probably the sunniest day which would make sense if it were from improper loading. given my unfamiliarity with 16mm, i doubt it would have been able to load the rolls properly were i not able to see them a little bit. i will have to look into getting a change bag for future shoots for sure.

yes, the bolex was converted to super16. i can't find the vignetting, but the light leaks are obviously there. i didn't know much about the camera, or 16 cameras at all. i should have taped the body up. i loaded/unloaded the camera with a blanket overmyself as i didnt have a proper changing bag. it was very dark, i don't think that should have affected the film. it was shot on vision2 50d for the daylight stuff, and the couple night shots were on vision2 500t. all the film was telecined to HD

recently, i was given the opportunity to shoot a skateboard short on a bolex ebm. i have shot super 8 as a hobby for years but due mostly to cost, i have never made the leap to 16mm. the camera/film/transfer/telecine was paid for so i jumped at it. it was a great experience, and i look forward to working with 16 in the future. if any of you kind folks would take a look at my short and let me know if you notice anything optically that i may have been doing wrong it would be of great help. any comments/suggestions, etc are welcome. the short is here: http://www.vimeo.com/1886694
