[Frameworks] Cheap Transfer In NYC
So, I have a 100' roll of Tri-X 16mm that I want an HD transfer of. It's mostly stills and little burst of video that I intended as sketches and tests for a longer project. Anyone know of lab that's not gonna give me any jive about roll minimums that I can take a subway to? Or any ad hoc solutions?

Re: [Frameworks] Cheap Transfer In NYC
Why not have some one with an HD camera film it off of a screen or wall? I'm sure a small sum or a 6 pack would be sufficient.

Re: [Frameworks] Cheap Transfer In NYC
I thought about that and was following the other discussion about this. I'd
really like something that will look good when the stills are uploaded to a
website later.
So I guess I'm looking for the cheapest professional looking transfer in
NYC or a time consuming and cheap way of achieving that quality that is
maybe something like finding the stills and motion parts I want with a
steenbeck and hand scanning the 3600 individual frames myself?
Anything but a garage transfer is what I'm saying.
Technicolor is saying $0.48/ft with a student discount. Anyone think I can
beat that?

Re: [Frameworks] Cheap Transfer In NYC
If you really want HD for sketches and tests, then borrow an XH-A1 (or similar) and project the film onto a piece of matte board (more smooth and even than a wall) getting the camera as close to the projector as possible to minimize parallax. The results can be surprisingly good. Probably best to use manual iris bracket exposures, and do a few takes. If you want high quality stills, try to borrow an analytic projector, or some other model with a pause function that will project a still frame without burning up the film. Then shoot that with a DSLR. There's more detail in 16mm than any HD transfer can capture. Unless it's footage you know you want to use for a serious project / finished product paying for a good frame-by-frams scan isn't cost effective. ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
