Re: [Frameworks] Recommended splicer for both 16mm and 8mm cuts?
There were millions of different designs that used pre-perforated tape. The one I have came from MPE and is very pleasant to use, but it's 16mm only. Likewise Neumade and Craig made them. The Neumade is nicer than the Craig. I have only seen these for 16mm... I have never seen one that did both 16mm and Super-8. Many of them will do both straight and diagonal splices so you can edit mag as well with the same splicer. The perforated tape splicer is less messy and produces splices that tend to go more smoothly through the projector, but it takes a LOT longer than using the Catozzi. You can cover extended frames if you want a stronger splicer or you're trying to fix damaged perfs, but the splice is much more noticeable on screen if you do that. --scott ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

I just looked on ebay for splicer 16mm and it came up with what would have been my first 3 suggestions. Assuming you are looking for a hot (or glue) splicer, The Maier-Hancock is great. There is also a Lomo that looks good, though I've never used it. If you want a simplified tape splicer, the Kodak Quick splicer is an option, though I've always hated the S shaped cut it makes. -Jason Halprin ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
Re: [Frameworks] Recommended splicer for both 16mm and 8mm cuts?
Yes, and that is the big split. Do you want a cement splicer or a tape splicer? The cement splicer will not work on mylar film, but you don't get two smeary frames. Are you editing camera original or a print? The splicer needs to be set up for the perforation pitch that you're using. Most of the Meier-Hancocks out there are set up for short pitch camera originals rather than long pitch printstocks. --scott ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

Hi Meg, the Maier-Hancock is probably the best available and were popular among professionals. Though the 816-S model is somewhat rare to come across, the regular model is pretty common. I think I have one available that I could sell you cheaply though the shipping from Canada would be horrendously expensive as the M-H splicers are very large and heavy! There are quite a few smaller cement splicers available on eBay, the Griswold ones are more compact and are of good quality.

The Bolex is much cheaper and more easily found. It will work on both 16mm and 8mm. In a message dated 9/12/2012 2:57:30 P.M.
