I'm new here and would appreciate any feed back.
I paid a production manager to make a low budget, super 16mm feature budget, for my screenplay, a character drivin' comedy rom/com.
I have decided to make the plunge and invest some of my own money in my project instead of waitng for someone to give me permission to make my film.
When I looked over his prices for raw stock and developing, transfers, ect., some seemed expensive and some too inexpensive. I'd like to list a few prices and see if you know of any better deals around the L.A. area. Thank you for any ideas and comments.
Super 16mm, Vision 2 stock, 36,000 ft. Price at 0.31 ft. = $11,160.00
Developing- 25,000 ft. (select takes) 0.25 ft. = $6,250.00
Film To Video Transfers- 25,000 ft. - 0.11 ft. = $2,750.00
Also, does anyone have an idea what a Indie Post house would charge to do the DI, for a feature lenght film? This would not include the hi-scan to 35mm.
Here are a few Edit/Post numbers that look fishy to me. Has anyone worked with a Post company that gives these kinds of prices?
VHS Dubs of Dailies- 44 tapes- $275.00
On Line Edit- 18 hours- $175.00 per hr. Total= $3,150
Tape to Tape color correction. 12 hours- $150.00 per hr. Total= $1,800.00
