The transfer of digital video to film is not a complicated process but it's best to know what you are getting into when working on your project.

Regardless what the experts say, nothing can ever beat film in it's look or archival nature. Interestingly alot of filmmakers are shooting super 8mm or regular anamorphic 8mm, transfering via telecine to mini dv and tranforming it back to 35mm or 16mm film for release.

The image and resolution of super 8mm film or regular 8mm film image if shot on Kodachrome is technically a better image or comparable in look to High Definition when transfered on a good Da Vinci or better telecine system. Digital Image in Burbank California USA and others can transfer an hours worth of footage for about 250.00 an hour, with color correction etc. This approach takes advantage of all the great qualities of Final Cut Pro Editing but at a cost considerably less than shooting 16mm or 35mm. We are a strong advocate of Super 8mm and Regular 8mm film. If you should get in a situation where you have a longer form project and need advice on methods to making your film when tranforming back to film, please contact us info@8mmfilmstock.com
