Actually clients have been buying a Blu Ray player just to see their "one and only"(hehe) wedding in HD. Folks are catching on. But I really hope/feel that because of this HDSLR movement, maybe film resurrects. I will be using Spectra in LA for the telecine. Heard they're talented. Thanks for the input. Helps a lot.

Hey Tom. So I'm buying my Scoopic tomorrow. I will use 16mm film (not using sound) and mix it in with my HDSLR footage. I'm editing both formats on the same timeline in FCP. Mainly my projects consist of wedding videos, documentaries, model shoots, and music videos. I love 16mm vs Super8 because I feel it compliments HDSLR footage quite nicely. Now I noticed you stated that transfering to HD is a pain. My question to you, is if my final product will be viewed thru Web sites and TV's but never going to a movie screen then do I even bother with transferring it to HD. Could I just do a Anamorphic Squeeze with the 16mm to 16x9 to match my HD footage? My purpose to use 16mm is for some nostalgic shots as a contrast to the crisp HD footage. Forgive me if this is basic knowledge but I'm just starting out in the film world and feel like i opened up a whole new can of worms. thanks for your help.
