Yeah, how's a good way to convert film like Super 8mm & 16mm to an editable format on a PC?
And what's the average pricing of getting it done (either yourself or from a company)?

For yourself:
Get a filmscanner.
Pricing for a company, no idea.

FILM, not analog stuff. Yeah, what Notorious said. But in regards to analog stuff, I would HIGHLY recommend DAZZLE for your analog to digital needs. The newer one pictured there is under $100. But I have been to comp usa and found a similar product like that which is around $25 dollars. I plan to get one of those eventually, as I need to convert my old VHS tapes to digital to save them. Get a filmscanner. Wouldn't a regular computer scanner work just as well? Granted you would have to go into photoshop and crop around the filmstrip, and then import them into a video editing program to make them move...or is it not that simple? |

Well I've never dealt with film before and I'm just typing off the top of my head. And a quick look through google, I've found this... http://www.homemoviedepot.com/I guess it all boils down to...  |

Nah dude I've been using Sony Video 8s for awhile.
But yes I'm SUPER serial.
And like how much did Indie Film Adventures & Dummy's luck cost to get processed and stuff?

Students here can get the film processed for 12 cents a foot.
One can of super 16 is 400 ft, and at 24fps is 11 minutes.
What type of film are you using?

16 is expensive. You better match that with money spent on lighting, sound, actors, etc...
Indie Film Adventures cost $900 in all, but we got major discounts on the processing and the film itself. The typical short film shot on film is $3-5K.

You can find a developer that will process the film at roughly $.01 per foot, they can put it on a Mini DV tape for you also you can have it telecine at the same place(sometimes) which will color correct the film, they charge anywhere from $50-$150 an hour, they can also put it on Mini DV |

Dear Bojac if you check out our film Cannibal Girl and Incest Boy at http://bizjack.livedigital.com/content/1486974It is a Super 8 film i made. to transfer your super 8 film to video (DV TAPE) all you need is... 1. A tripod 2. A DV Camera 3. A piece of white Paper. 4. A Super 8 Projector (which is prob the hardest thing to find but if you search hard enough you will be able to find one) 5. A DV TAPE 6. SUPER 8 FILM (processed, each film roll you shoot will cost you about 9 dollars a roll to process ... i suggest.. http://www.dwaynesphoto.com/they are great! and do not discriminate against your film like a lot of places do.... most places will not develop your film if you have some fake blood and boobies.... and thats there right but... dwaynes dont care... there good peoples.) so all you do ... and this is what i did for Cannibal Girl and incest boy you project the film on the white piece of paper and then film the footage on the DV Camera. THATS IT!! then you have your FILM transfered to video. it works and saves money........ try it out! Richard T. Bizjackflemco Productions |

THATS IT!!
What about the different frame rates between film & video? That method ought to result in a constant flicker in your footage...  |

Good call, however, you can change your shutter angle and speed in most digital cameras
