Live from the grave test scene

This is a ROUGH CUT, will be cleaned up after we shoot more. Test film on canon scoopic, 16mm. Vision 3 500T, and vision 2 200T. Liked the 200T better, less grain. We lost a roll of film due to issue with pressure plate. Some of the out of focus shots due to this issue had to be used to complete the scene. Not a bad image for an old camera with a lens issue. The scene is part of a larger script about how local news may react to a zombie plague. Hope to shoot more with a better camera.

How did you record sound? I thought the canon scoopic is only mos w/out a crystal sync? Please tell me because i just bought a scoopic and it would be great if i could record sound!

Thank You!

The scoopic is mos, very noisy. I built a blimp out of noise supresion material and rubber. Surprisingly it cut down on most of the noise. There was a little in the audio but you really have to listen for it. But to answer your question we just ran wireless lav's into a cannon xl1. The audio slips a little when editing to the film but you can cut it up and slide it around to sync it up. Hope that helped.

Hi, This telecine looks good, can you tell me how much colorlab charged you, and at what resolution. i shot both my college film on vision 2 200T but your telecine looks cleaner.

[mrhalloweenmovie]

I can't remember exactly how much they charged. They processed and transferd 500ft straight to a hard drive, uncompressed. I think it was around 400 bucks. It was also fully timed. If I find the paperwork I can give you an exact price.

[mrhalloweenmovie]

It was 478 bucks for the works.

Awesome, who did the transfer?

[mrhalloweenmovie]

Colorlab in New York city. They processed it and transfered it uncompressed to a hard drive.

@mrhalloweenmovie oh ya! How did you sync up the sound with footage? Did you have to tamper with it a little bit since it wasn't shot w/ crystal sync?
