    Hi. I'm curious to learn more about making animated photograms. Currently, I know nothing about the process. I've seen the short films of Sheri Wills: http://www.sheriwills.net/photogram.html Could you tell me how this is done? Are the photograms created on photographic paper and then re-shot onto 16mm. It looks to me like simple fades from one image to the next. Or is it possible to create the photogram directly onto 16mm film? Thanks.

    Thanks Bon for the quick reply. I really know very little about all of this stuff, only what I've been researching on the Internet. So then, the anamorphic 2.0:1 ratio is actuall wider than the 1.78:1 of HDTV, right? Wouldn't it be nicer to crop from the 2:1 to 1.78 than to take it out of the middle section of the 1.33:1? Is there a way I could do it myself, like with Final Cut Pro or something? I understand that shooting without the anamorphic lens would be easier (and yes it is an anamorphic attachment used with another lens.) But seems like filming wide to start gives me more to work with later, less cropping.

    Here's what I've got: Bolex standard 16mm camera AND a Bolex "System Moeller" 1.5 anamorphic lens. Here's what I'd like to do: 1. Shoot in 16mm (standard) using the 1.5 anamorphic lens. 2. Transfer to digital8 so that I can import and edit with iMovieHD. 3. Ultimately I'd like to view on HDTV. Question: Can it be done? From what I understand, shooting with the 1.5 anamorphic lens onto the 4:3 standard 16mm format will give me a 16:9 view when projected with my 16mm projector (again using the anamorphic lens to unsqueeze.) So, it seems to me that I'm not too far from having everything necessary for HDTV since it is also 16:9. I just need to find a place to do a 16mm anamorphic transfer to digital. Any suggestions who could do that? They would need to unsqueeze my images. (I'm thinking transfer to digital8 so I can import onto my Mac with my old Sony Digital8 cam.) This almost seems too easy. Is there something I am missing or forgetting? Please, any help or suggestions very appreciated!
