Re: [Frameworks] Super 16 - Bolex H 16

2012-12-25 Thread carlileb

What they mean is that it's single-perf stock, so just check to see if your 
Bolex can run it-- the really old ones cannot (pre 1950 or so).



There's a specific serial number cut-off which I can't recall now, but it can 
be easily found at many Bolex websites.






Dear Friends,

I have a Bolex H16.  I have always used normal 16mm stock to shoot with this 
camera.  However, Kodak (India) says that they can only import super 16mm black 
and white stock.  I wanted to make sure it is possible for me to use Super 16mm 
stock with my bolex before ordering the same. 


Thanks for any guidance,
Shumona

I'm sure many people on this list can recommend labs they have worked with.
I work with Jack Rizzo  in New York.
He is a good technician who can find solutions to problems and he is 
experimental-filmmaker-friendly!

Ok, I just wanted to make sure before shooting. Do you have a lab you can
recommend for processing 16mm and blow up to 35mm?  The blow up is not yet
confirmed (depends on sound issues) but would be good to be prepared from
now.  There are no labs in Bombay that are processing black and white
anymore. Had some trouble with labs abroad as well, so any reliable
recommendations would be helpful.

You don't have to lose any. The 16mm stock will capture a full 16mm 
frame. When you blow up you can choose how you frame it - whether the 
image remains 1.33 with black on the sides, or if you zoom in to make 
a 1.66 or 1.85 picture with the top and bottom cut off, or if you 
choose an academy gate (1.33, but many projectionists won't have that 
gate and will cut off the top and bottom anyway).
You should talk with the people who will help you with the blow-up 
before you shoot.

Thanks, Pip.  In case I need to blow up to 35mm, how much picture will I
lose?  Is it possible to get the full normal 16mm frame in the blow up?

Hi Shumona,
Yes it's the same - it's just single perf (so a super-16 camera can 
shoot a wider picture to the edge)
