Hello Film makers,

I am currently designing a direct to positive film recorder. I am looking for anyone that has footage shot on a cinevator. i am looking to do a comparison in projection and on a light table of my current outputs coming off of our POS Recorder. I would also love people input on the pros and cons you see with the process.

thanks in advance

I'm shooting a feature in FL on HDV, 720p 24. How does this format fend on a 35mm print? We would like to get one if possible, I an arrange to send some sample material for a test if it is possible. Send me an email: jjfb985@gmail.com, I'd like to disscuss it and possibly get some prices.

it boils down to resolution. 2k academy formatting is 1828 X 1332. you will need a proportional blow-up that scales the 720p to fit this resolution. i would be happy to shoot you out a demo test of your material. my email is service@opticalcameraservice.com

I will need a hard drive with your final output at the highest resolution and best quality(least compression) possible. i will take care of any blowups or linear to logrithmic conversions.

the film recorders shoot out cineon or DPX image sequences. I will handle this conversion.

lets talk soon,

by the way

shooting 720X480 resolution to 35mm means effectively filling the picture area of 1828X 1332. it is a significant scale. i have done it for people. but the results aren't bad. but they are what you would expect. also depends on the action in the footage, as well as lighting.

we can talk more if you would like.

I would like to transfer S16 film to my Mac Pro so that I can edit it in Final Cut.

 

My Mac has a 4TB RAID 5, most of which is available for file storage.

 

Soho Film Labs have told me that they can provide telecine data on miniDV or digibeta (or presumably HDCAM SR) tape, but can't provide the data on a hard drive.

 

This is problematic, as I do not own a miniDV, digibeta or HDCAM SR player.

 

I live midway between Exeter and Plymouth.

 

Can anyone recommend a lab that can record the telecine data on a hard drive or a DVD that I can read and save from? (I don't mind going up to London for this.)

 

Alternatively, can anyone recommend a location in Exeter or Plymouth where I can rent the necessary equipment to play back the data so that I can firewire it to my Mac?

 

Or thirdly, can anyone recommend a basic miniDV, digibeta or HDCAM SR player that is not going to cost me an arm and a leg?

Hello,

I own and maintain a post production company in Hollywood California. It would be easy for me to transfer this to which ever format you ask for. and deliver on a hard drive. we have high speed film scanners and film recorders. check out my site. http://www.opticalcameraservice.com
