Can anyone tell me if any feature film has been shot in Ultra 16mm. I plan on shooting a full feature in the first week of October.
I plan on having Bernie from Super16inc make the conversion on my 16 SR 2. Ultra 16mm is much less monies than converting to Super16. Last price I seen for the super conversion was around $6000, then you have to buy the lenses, and then convert the magazines, which isn't cheap either, so now I'm looking around $10,000 for the conversion. For $1200 I get converted to U16mm and have the ground glass brighten by Bernie.
For the ground glass I'll just use tape for my safe lines.
Does anyone know where I can buy decent 16mm short ends or unused film.
I would appreciate any input.
Thanks,
