I was thinking 4:1 on a pretty tight schedule. Usually shooting digital everything is well rehearsed and get roughly a 4:1 ratio, we have roughly a month for rehearsals for this project. I am confident with the actors getting everything down. So buy about 50 rolls, the script is 90 pages, but I think it will end up running pretty short

Hi Guys I am new the forum and just wanted some people's opinions on doing my first feature on super 16. I have been signed on to shoot a super low budget film here in Sydney, and the director really insists on it being done on 16mm. I am going to be using an Aaton Xterra Kit, I have probably shot 5 rolls of 16mm, total so coming from a digital age this is quite daunting. Just wondering what a really practically shooting ratio would be? Do you think this is biting off more than i can chew!
