Question. I've been looking into using Super 8 for starting off with short film, since I can score the camera and film super cheap (if not free). I've been looking into runtime/film/superfluous things, and I've got a good read on that.
Here's the thing - two things, actually.
Presentation-wise, I'm looking at doing a tribute to silent film, but updating it. Read: I want to focus on the actual filming process vs spending too much time on audio (which I am actually familiar with). The question is, for making it more "modern," would you stick with 18 or 24 fps (if cost of film wasn't an issue)?
Item two: Since I have absolutely no experience with editing anything but digital video, I was wondering. Would it be feasible to do the filming, have it transferred to digital media, and THEN do the editing? I didn't know if it'd just be counterproductive, since places charge by amount of film for transferring. And assuming I didn't have access to any sort of traditional film editing. I'd have to make a few hour drive at the bare minimum.
Thanks guys! I love the look and feel of Super 8, that's why I'm wanting to give it a go. Analog man in a digital world, as Joe Walsh would say.
