I have a technical question - I want to shoot s16 - then dump it to Avid - create an EDL - then cut an answer print. I was told by the Post-Production house that I have to then transfer my s16 answer print back to avid - make the soundtrack on protools(myself - because of low budget) and synch it to the avid - and then they would create the 35mm optical track synched to the soundtrack(+timecode). I am concerned that there will be synchronization problems because of the difference in frame rates - and so blow my optical soundtrack...can you help?

The simple answer to your question is that you nee dn't worry about the differences in frame rates because the lab can do what's called "resolving", which is altering the speed of your sound to compensate for the changes in the real-time relationships between pix and sound created in the telecine transfer.

Good luck with your film.
