I was unaware of this and we at Cinelab do not run E6 so we can't offer that I also don't know that they relocated so much as shut down, I always thought they ran their own E6. As others have said there is NiagraCustom lab in Canada and Dwaine's Photo in Kansas for E6 developing. Although the Ektachrome bundles that Pac-Lab were in no way part of any deal we made with them I could offer to do something about the transfer part of that bundle, I will have to talk to my partners at Cinelab to figure out what deal we could offer and that would depend on how much film is out there with that coupon I suppose. -Rob- VP Cinelab Inc. www.cinelab.com Robert Houllahan Film Maker www.lunarfilms.com http://www.vimeo.com/lunarfilms http://robhoullahan.tumblr.com/ ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
Re: [Frameworks] 35mm internegative
The track is usually shot to a separate stock but with cyan tracks on 35mm it seems possible to make another pass on the printer for the DolbySR and Digital tracks.

[Frameworks] PacLab Cinelab and Anthology
Here is an update on the whole business. The former owner of Pac-Lab has left completed customer orders at Anthology Film and I will be calling them today to see if we can assist in sorting out those orders in any way. The Pac-Lab phone number forwards to us at Cinelab and there is now a "CinePac" lab web site which has a modified Cinelab order form on it in place of the old Pac-Lab web site. Our full web site is www.cinelab.com We run every bath (ECN, ECP, B&W-R B&W-N and B&W-Print in 8mm, 16mm and 35mm) except E6 for which NiagraCustomLab in Toronto or Dwaine's Photo in Parsons, KS do excellent E6 work in both 8mm and 16mm We are adding a new 16mm/35mm Panel Printer from deluxe Hollywood shortly and have a ILM optical printer which when fully setup will be available to the filmmaking community. We also offer HD and 2K-3K-4K data scans of 8mm 16mm and 35mm film. I am co owner of Cinelab and am available to answer any questions that might arise.

Re: [Frameworks] Pac Lab and Cinelab in Mass
PacLab has contacted us at Cinelab and they want us to take over B&W Reversal processing for them and their school clients. UPS Ground is overnight to Cinelab in Massachusetts and we run B&W Reversal every day. I know it's not as convenient as bringing it directly to a lab in NY but we are trying to keep B&W Reversal going and at a high consistent quality.

Re: [Frameworks] De-dusting scanned film footage
Davinci Resolve has semi automated dust removal (only works with DPX frames) and I think it works in the free version. You draw a circle around the dirt particle and Resolve compares a set if previous and upcomming frames to paint it out. Works very well, you can potentially use resolve to render out any file to DPX frames and use the dust tool.

Re: [Frameworks] PacLab's approach to customer service.
As I am someone who is in the lab business I think we should all be grateful for all the jobs that show up at our door (s) these days. Also I think that people's expectations of film origination have risen with the digital wave. B&W reversal bleach is a difficult chemistry to maintain day to day and it does eat machinery. We have also developed 8mm for 1/2 of the celebrities cited.
