Dear Frameworkers, I have a film preservation question completely unrelated to artists film.
But it might be useful for others who want to preserve their material. A friend is trying to preserve a selection of rare martial arts demonstrations on 16mm, Super 8 from the 50’s to the 80’s. In addition to the film reels are three large cassettes of 3/4 inch video tape. The first step is to preserve everything, and then to edit it for distribution. I wondered if anyone has a standard workflow for preservation they could share? One primary question is whether it should be scanned to 2k or 4K. There is also a seemingly endless possibility of hard drives and backup drives, and I wondered if anyone has a recommendation for editing and storage drives? Many thanks in advance for any advice you might have, even if it isn’t quite Maya Deren’s Meditation on Violence, All the best, Redmond -- Frameworks mailing list [email protected] https://mail.film-gallery.org/mailman/listinfo/frameworks_film-gallery.org
