Regarding labs with Super 8, and especially transfers, I'd add that you get
what you pay for. Pro8mm is very expensive, Dwayne's is very inexpensive.

I'm assuming your talking about editing? It sounds like you are just starting
off, so I would lean towards Apple. That way you have the option of FCP
(unfortunately X, unless you want to get 7 through other channels) or Premiere
in the Adobe Suite. And if you really wanted, you could always duel boot
Windows and get Avid I suppose. Your edits for this film don't sound too
complicated and could most likely be accomplished in any "real" editing
software. I would be far more concerned with the processing and transferring
of your Super 8 film. Research carefully, not all labs are created equal.
Though I haven't used them yet, I usually hear great things about Pro8mm,
though they are the most expensive. I would avoid Dwayne's Photo for Super8
(wasn't very satisfied with my transfer there). I've had a pretty positive
experience with PacLab out of NYC. But ask around, cause that is a very touchy
subject.

into this. Would you suggest Apple technology or PC? I am always towards
Apple.
