Hi Everyone, As it's harder to web surf in a language with many unique vowels (none of which are on my keyboard), has anyone bought and/or processed any Super 8 film stock in Denmark. I suppose this is a question for the Danish members, or anyone (like me at present) who has spent some time there while filming. I know I can just send for it from the UK and Germany, but I was wondering whether there was somewhere 'local'. Thanks Mark

Thank you Jim, and Alexander. Much appreciated, and understood.

I am producing a short and have decided to film on Super 8, followed by telecine transfer. It is a period comedy (set in 1965) and, therefore must look like proper film. Now, I am not a technical director and last shot super 8 25 years ago, so I would just like to clear one thing up. If 24 fps is the digital world's big target for The Film Look, what happens to the look of my Super 8 footage if it is actually shot on the 25 fps setting (as suggested to me by a telecine transfer place)? I already know that the film will get a cinema showing at least once (as part of an opening of a new screen overseas where I know the owners) so this film will be seen large as well as on a DVD/online/whatever can be managed. I am sure the real experts are probably going to think I'm an idiot, but I'm hoping there's some slack applied for novices to new formats. My question is will filming at 25 fps change anything inherently filmic about the footage, and will it then become a problem down the road if I need a proper print for a cinema showing (ie a 16 mm print rather than a digital projection)? I am using a Braun Nizo 6080 which has a 25 fps crystal sync modification (not that I am necessarily going to use it, and certainly not if I shoot at 24 fps). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much Mark
