Hi Jarrett, I have completed numerous Super 8mm to 16mm blow ups using a JK printer in the past and have had great results. The main thing to take into consideration is the quality of the Super 8mm footage. Is it recently shot and processed film or is it older stock that has been sitting around for some time. You tend to have more problems with registration with shrunken Super 8mm. With older film I find you get better results if you do not rely on the digital sequencer to advance the film through the projector and to advance it yourself, a frame at a time. Its a longer process but the results are more pleasing. Having a good Super 8mm gate for the JK printer is also a priority. Its not hard to do this yourself but finding system to use may be tough. Do you have any film co-ops or film societies in your area, they may have one or know of where to access one. If you manage to do it yourself give me a shout and I can give you some info on completing tests prior to shooting the final blow up, you will need to complete a few exposure tests, etc. prior to filming. Good luck! Stay on film!

I have based my process and my career as an experimental film artist on this statement; and I welcome it as it pushes me forward as an artist to try something different, something new.

Hello all, Does anyone know if Colorlab in Maryland still does blow-ups from super-8 to 16mm? Their new website layout seems to omit this information, whereas I remember reading as much on the old site. If not, are there any labs in the US that will do 8 to 16 blow-ups? Thanks, -J.
