negative transfer


 

Contributed by


I´m an independent filmmaker in Mexico and I´ll be making a b/w 16mm short film. Some people have said to me that there are film labs that transfers the negative straight to video making a positive image on video without the extra cost of having to make a positive film print first. I´d like to know if this is correct and what the transfer quality would be. I hope you could help me.

That is correct, the majority of film labs in the US do telecine transfers directly from the film negative. Actually, you should only have you're a positive print made if A) you plan on editing on film or B) you wish to edit your work print in accordance with your nonlinear cut list.
