Re: [Frameworks] super-8 to 16mm blow ups?

Hello Jerrett I personally think you'd be much better off to do it yourself on an optical printer. Or maybe find a friend who uses an optical printer that can do it for you. I think having a lab do it might end up turning out to be very expensive. Sent from my iPhone On Dec 6, 2013, at 7:59 PM

You have to be careful. I have recently scanned S8 film that had been blown up on a JK printer, and there was severe perf damage that entered the image area. This was caused by a slightly misaligned JK projector head. These days I am not sure if 16mm blowups from S8 are the best way to go unle

There are still good reasons to blow Super-8 up to 16mm, mostly if you have a few short Super-8 scenes that you want to conform into a 16mm film. Take the Super-8 OCP, get a 16mm interneg made, and it'll cut right into your 16mm camera negs. But... if I were going to do a blowup from Super-8, my

Hi Jarrett, I have completed numerous Super 8mm to 16mm blow ups using a JK printer in the past and have had great results. The main thing to take into consideration is the quality of the Super 8mm footage. Is it recently shot and processed film or is it older stock that has been sitting around

Thanks all, that certainly gives me plenty to think about. I don't know where to find an optical printer. My primary motivation for doing blow-ups is the fact that super-8 reversal is getting harder to find, and I'd like to find a way to avoid shipping negatives to Andec in Germany to have prints m

Just wanted to say RE: 35mm vs. 16mm, that Scott's sentiments seem to echo the traditional wisdom about the omnipresence of 35mm, but with the rapid scrapping of 35mm projectors from almost every multiplex (and most of the art houses) in the U.S., it seems the scales may be tipping back in the d

Well, first, the only way the scales are tipping in any venue is toward digital projection. Setting up a 16mm micro-cinema requires finding a working projector that won't eat prints, finding the increasingly rare short and fast lenses that will fill a decent sized screen, and dealing with beat-u
