Response to 16mm or DV?

from John Ferrick (Ferrick@postmaster.co.uk)
While the cost to transfer to 16mm or 35mm is high usually you can submit you film on DV or Beta Sp. IF you then get a distribution deal and sell your film they will pay the bill.

TO Shoot on 16mm then just film off the wall for DV and then to transfer the DV to 35mm is incorrect advice. What is done is to shoot on 16mm, do the off the wall for DV and use the DV to build up the edit list that yoo then go back the your original 16mm film and cut it for your final program. It would be a total waste of money IMO to take 16mm transfer to DV and then back to 35mm if you were not going to go with a quality cine conversion. John Ferrick
