ECN-II skip bleach

Film Editing Equipment
I'm looking to buy some 16mm editing equipment as it seems mush cheaper than renting time at an editing house. But, being rather new to this, I'm not sure exactly what I need. I'm assuming I need a splicer, a viewer, a sync block and a rewind. Is this all? You seem to have a wide range of splicers available; what are the differences? I see you also have a Zeiss Moviscope for sale. Is this just a viewer, or does it an all-in-one type thing? Thanks a lot for your help,

Editors vs. Splicers
I'm just getting started and I want to know more about editors. What is the difference between film editors and splicers? Can I edit with just a splicer? I need help!

I'm shooting a feature and my DP wants to skip bleach in the negative processing. du art, cfi and the giants don't do it.

Know of a reliable one that does?

We have a skip bleach process here at TFG (FILM GROUP) for ECN II-neg. processing. The process is consistant and predictable. However, skip bleach will leave your negative unstable for long term storage. Please give me a call and I can tell you more about the process. Most West Coast labs will skip bleach on the print process but not on the negative. Skip bleach neg and skip bleach print yield different results. Negative skip is more dramatic in terms of contrast range and color variances. Our process is Neg. skip bleach.
