Toronto filmmaker, James Gillespie, treated me to his wonderful work in progress - a very special modified 1950's Specto all metal projector specifically for the ultrawide UltraPan8 film format. Extra rollers, modified step down transformer, brighter 300w halogen bulb and blue LED fans! 8fest is

Hello Jerrett Here at Metropolis Post we can scan your Super 8 footage on a laser graphics Scan Station then record out to a 16mm Negative on our Laser Graphics Film Recorder, the results will be superior to doing it on any optical printer which usually yield very high contrast blown out

On which subject, I have one of the 5/8 f/2.1 Bell and Howell lenses for the later BH projectors (500-series and on), for sale. I never liked the things, they are just not all that sharp, but if you're stuck with a short throw they do the job. --scott

Can you export your work as a Pro Res file? That seems to be a standard requirement for a lot of festivals. Pro Res can look pretty good if it's shown on a good projector. I'm going on what I've seen at Media City, which has the best projection in the World! NIcky. -Original

Hey Nicky, I left the question a little open to see what would come of it, but I was thinking of pro res (or equivalentish). The google is giving me a variety of responses on whether a pro res codec is available for windows or not. For Mac users it seems to be there. On Sunday, December 8,

If the cinema has DCP capabilities that would be bay far the best and most stable way to show digital. http://opendcp.org/ Opendcp is freeware to make your own. It's a little tricky and requires exporting your movie as a tiff image sequence first. Check out the website. dk Date: Sun, 8 Dec

Unfortunately, the Apple ProRes encoder is not available for Windows. There is a workaround involving ffmpeg, but it's a pain. You have to render your clip to a lossless format such as QT Animation, then convert using ffmpeg. This is a command line app, but there is a front end gui available.

Hi all, I am wondering if anyone has experience/advice/formulas for processing E6 as BW reversal. I have some Ektachrome 160 (EM-26, so remjet) super 8 (expired in '97) that I'd like to experiment with. I haven't been able to find too much information and I've only processed BW negative and

For the record, I don't think ProRes is strictly lossless. But yes, it's always a good idea to create a digital master from which you can strike compressed copies. I always master using a truly lossless codec, such as Quicktime Animation at 100% quality. That preserves the RGB color space and

The choice of tool depends on what you want to do. Windows is the platform of choice for 3D artists, so that's why I don't have a Mac. Anyway, Apple has pretty much abandoned the professional market. The new Mac Pro has a lot of people really disappointed. // Aaron At 12/8/2013, you wrote:
