[Frameworks] film recorder

[Jeff Kreines]

Years ago I used to make 35mm film recorders using 4K LCDs and Mitchell cameras. You really want to use a camera that can shoot single frames at longer exposures (not an Arri unless you have an animation motor and capping shutter) unless you are using a fast stock. You need a way to trigger the frame advance of the computer to the camera trigger.  You can get excellent results.  But with all the testing and hassles required this only makes sense if you have a lot of footage.  Otherwise it will be cheaper and better to use a lab like Colorlab.

Colorlab has one and I believe the cost is around $.50 per 35mm foot with analog sound. (If you want Dolby Digital there is a Dolby royalty that’s quite high.) They also have a 4K Arrilaser if you want a 35mm negative, and their own 16mm 5K film recorder if you want 16mm.
