There are still good reasons to blow Super-8 up to 16mm, mostly if you have a few short Super-8 scenes that you want to conform into a 16mm film. Take the Super-8 OCP, get a 16mm interneg made, and it'll cut right into your 16mm camera negs.
But... if I were going to do a blowup from Super-8, my inclination would be to just blow-up to 35mm since these days 16mm really is not a popular release format and there are far more places able to show 35mm than 16mm. For a short film the cost won't be that much more. Jeff's comment about scans is a good one, and the scan will allow you to do a digital intermediate and in the process clean up some of the inevitable film damage defects on the Super-8 original. I don't know what the current costs are to scan it and then get a 35mm filmout are, but it gives the filmmaker another whole level of control and at 3k really no sacrifice in sharpness or tonal scale. --scott _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list [email protected] https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
