Dear Jeanne,
Thank for your response! I was thinking about shooting it off the wall
and I've done this before 16 to 16, but I am a bit confused if it will
work out well being that the S8 is shot at 18fps.
And as far as worth it goes, I guess the stability of the loop. I was
working on building a looper, but we kind of fell in love with the
idea of hanging the film throughout the space and taping it end to
end. Sort of as a visual element in the room. It's 15m long (50 feet).
I was thinking S8 might not be more likely to tear.
Are there any labs anymore making S8 prints from Positives for
reasonable prices, specifically in Europe?
Thanks,
Diana
