 Yr. welcome, Jeff.
 Words are genuine.  Your work is good.
 I've actually only done SD transfers with Cinelab, which were reasonably 
 priced and fine for what they are.
 I like the people there, and they do a lot of work for my students, so I 
 thought I'd say something nice.
 The person asking said they had very high standards thought immediately of 
 you.
 
 Still working on the Ika project material.  Think I'll get some $ together, 
 hopefully do the work in January.
 Who does the actual transfer work at 22nd. st.  I have to assume you endorse 
 their skills, if they are not you.

 Kinetta Archival in NYC (7 West 22nd Street, 6th floor) does 3.3K Kinetta 
 scans from any format film (which is about 5 times the resolution of HD 
 telecine of 4:3 material pillar boxed).  Note that some places offering HD 
 telecine actually are doing SD telecine and uprezzing it to HD — not an 
 ideal way to go.
 
 We scanned all the Super-8 footage for the recent theatrical documentary OUE 
 NIXON, which looked great on huge theater screens.

 For a lab style, SD or HD transfer, I've also gotten very good results from 
 CineLab in MA.

Kinetta Archival recently rescanned film for a theatrical documentary that had 
been originally done at Spectra, and the filmmakers were quite astounded at the 
difference.  (I haven’t yet seen the Spectra version, so I am only repeating 
what they told me.)  

There’s a big difference between HD telecine and 3,3K scanning, about 5x more 
resolution.  But it depends what your needs are, and how large the image will 
be projected.

Re: [Frameworks] Super 8 transfer

2013-10-31 Thread Reed O'Beirne
Hi Lyra,

I have been very pleased with the super-8 transfers done for me by Light Press, 
here in Seattle:
http://lightpress.tv/super-8mm/

There telecine process works very well with cement splices.

Only problem is that, for the moment, I think there's a slow down because they 
were using Alpha Cine labs to prep the film. So with the demise of Alpha in 
Seattle, they are in the process of finding a new partner to prep the films.

I strongly recommend their work, for sure.


talk to you later,
Reed
