Adiva J Koenigsberg Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Hello, I am wondering if anyone knows of a company that can make motion picture perfs on a still stock that I am using to shoot a motion picture film as well as add a key code. I a shooting on a stock that is made for a still camera and the company cuts us rolls of 400 feet. However there is no key code and the perfs are slightly different causing instability. So far I have found one company called Wittner-kinotechnik who provide such a service but there turnaround time is 4 months. I am looking for a company with a shorter turn around time. Thank You, Adiva Koenigsberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted July 30, 2013 Premium Member Share Posted July 30, 2013 I thought some Arri and Aaton cameras could burn-in code (ARRICODE / AATONCODE... basically time code but would work for negative cutting I assume, or a D.I. conform)? Are you buying unperforated stock? Otherwise how can you put new perfs on a stock that already has them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted July 30, 2013 Premium Member Share Posted July 30, 2013 If you have an option between Aaton code and ArriCode I hear Aaton is more often used, but consult with your post house for what they can handle and your rental house for what they can provide.

Dirk DeJonghe Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 A big difference between Aatoncode and Arricode is that only Aatoncode carries man-readable timecode numbers in addition to the bar codes. In a pinch the man-readable numbers might be used by a negative cutter but they are not really designed for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
